Dave Arneson, born 1 October 1947 in Hennepin County, Minnesota, passed away on Tuesday, the 7th of April.
Arneson was the co-creator (with E. Gary Gygax, who passed away in March 2008) of Dungeons & Dragons, the first role-playing game.
As obituaries and history books (both written and yet to be written) will attest, Arneson’s place in the pantheon of our hobby’s Founders (and beyond) is secure. As with Mr. Gygax, I wish to honor his contributions, thank him for his Wisdom and Intelligence, and commend his spirit to the Outer Planes of Good alignment.
Game on, Mr. Arneson.
