James M. at Grognardia (*incorrectly*) reports that Dave Arneson has passed away.

He will be missed.

 

[Gryffyn]

Rest in peace, Dave. You were always a nice guy to me.

 

[Aus_Snow]

So sorry to hear that. My condolences to his loved ones.

I don't know too much about the guy, other than that he co-created something brilliant and (I hope) eternal, and I'll always be grateful for that.

And geez, what a couple of years, in this regard. I. . . don't really know what else to say.

 

[Mark]

My condolences.

 

[Scribble]

Sad news.

 

[Jack7]

Ah crap.

He was the last of the OGs.

Well Dave, you'll always be Blackmoor to me.
Rest in peace.

 

[Jack99]

Rest in peace, Dave, and thanks for everything.

 

[Humanaut]

very sad.
one of my favorite hobbies for the last 30 years...

 

[Emirikol]

We'll spill mead in his honor. Speed to Valhalla Son of Aren!

Thanks for the good times.

jh

 

[Klaus]

There's some wicked gaming going on in Heaven right now.

Rest In Peace, Dave.


I don't know if it's too late, but maybe WotC could put a dedication in the DMG2 to Dave, like they did to Gary?
