Dave Arneson, sadly, DID pass away two days ago at the age of 61. I was not going to post this until I was triple-sure that the news was correct, since I mistakenly reported his death a few days early. Here's my original post:
I got word from some friends who knew him, via Twitter, that
Dave Arneson died. For those of you who don't know, although I suspect *many* of you do, Dave was one of the creators of Dungeons & Dragons. (If you don't know of him,
best read up on your history.)
I never met him, but he co-founded
Zeitgeist games with my friend
dclingman so I feel some connection there. My condolences to his family and friends.
