From the family:

Shortly after 11pm on Tuesday, April 7th, Dave Arneson passed away. He was comfortable and with family at the time and his passing was peaceful.

The Arneson family would like to thank everyone for their support over the last few days, and for the support the entire community has shown Dave over the years.

We are in the process of making final arrangements and will provide additional details as we work them out. We will continue to receive cards and letters in Dave's honor. We are planning to hold a public visitation so that anyone wishing to say their goodbye in person has the opportunity to do so.

Cards and letters can continue to be sent:

Have a great Game in the Sky, Dave! Maybe you can even go to your own Blackmoor.

Thanks for the memories Dave, and the chance encounter on the streets of Indy and at Sci-Fi City. Blackmoor and OD&D/AD&D are a precious part of my childhood and hobby.

You'll be in our thoughts.

Thanks for all the fun times and imagination you helped inspire.

Goodbye...

Just looked at Dave's note to the wife and I in our d20 Blackmoor book.

The book just became a lot more sentimental to me.
