I was not sure where to put it, but at the end of this card, there's the message: RIP Jack Vance without whom there would be fewer colours in fallen London.
Now I wanted to ask:
Who was J. Vance? What did he do?

The incredible Warsovian. She certainly didn't steal your diamond necklace. That idea is RIDICULOUS...

I apologize for any and all anachronisms. I am too lazy to check some facts if I am sure they are from the 1890s or sometimes think they are.
Oh, and by the way, I am not polish, I am GERMAN to clarify for heavens sake... tylko po polsku mowie. Um Himmelswillen...

Dunno if it's related, but the only Jack Vance I know about was a sci-fi writer, creator of the "The Dying Earth" series and many other books.

It's very much related. That's the Jack Vance here

If you're a fan of Jack Vance, I suggest checking out Gene Wolfe (Book of the New Sun) and Dan Simmons (Hyperion). Gygax was also heavily inspired by him.
