Yang the Nauseating, modernly known as Robert Lynn Asprin, was a well-known
science fiction and fantasy author. In the SCA, he was one of the early
members and was the founder of the Great Dark Horde. Asprin, born in 1946,
died peacefully on May 22 at his home.
Robert Asprin was the author or co-author of the MythAdventures and Phule's
Company series of SF/fantasy novels, and was the editor of the Thieves'
World series.

Yang the Nauseating was at Pennsic War at least as far back as Pennsic III
and is credited with founding the Great Dark Horde, one of the largest and
oldest households in the SCA.

Asprin, who died of natural causes, was to have been a Guest of Honor at
Marcon, an SF convention in central Ohio, this coming weekend.

Rest in peace, Yang. We will miss you.
