http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/archives/166099.asp?source=mypi This has been a bad couple of years for the RPG world. First Gary Gygax died March of last year. Now, Dave Arnesson, who helped transform Gary Gygax's game "Chainmail" into what become the first edition of Dungeons and Dragons died on the 7th. :-( Very sad days indeed.
