Sorely beleaguered, the Octagon Knights fight with valor, but this war is much more than a contest of swords…it is a battle of souls. The players are being positioned for the Battle Immortal, an epic struggle of Light and Dark.

I’m very sorry to hear that, and I can only offer my deepest condolences to his friends and family.
Upon seeing his name here, I realise I’ve heard of him (good things only) but I’ve never actually read his work. I’ll find something of his today and read it–that’s a promise. Any recommendations?
