Pray for Dave Arneson!

The wife and I are thinking of you, Dave.

You are a class act and we will keep you in our minds.

Ditto from Canada. While the thread lasts: thanks, Dave. You rock.

Looking at the OD&D link, the family wants to keep this private. Suggest you delete the thread.

They want it kept "private" in that they want to be left alone, not to deny people the ability to talk about it. So don't try and call the hospital, etc...

I am keeping Dave Arneson and his family in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

He and Gary Gygax have a wonderful legacy -- they created a new hobby that has brought many good people together to have fun and form new friendships. So, I thank both of these gentlemen for the many hours of fun that I have had over the years, and the many friends that I have made through role playing games. Thanks to both Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax for spreading some joy in this world.

Oh, man.

I've met Dave several times, during the course of the work I did on the 3E and 4E updates of Blackmoor, including (briefly) sharing a booth with him at GenCon. While I'm not sure he appreciated my sense of humor, he was always exceedingly friendly and polite, and he really struck me as enjoying his interaction with the fans. Even when his health first took a turn for the worse, he made every effort to attend GenCon in order to remain a part of the community.

I hope things improve for him.

 

[Edgewood]

Sad news indeed. My thoughts are with you Dave.

 

[Jack99]

I do not do prayers, but my thoughts will definitely be with him and his family.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Thanks so much for all you've done, for helping to start and nurture something amazing, that has brought so much joy to so many. Our thoughts, from over here on the other side of the world, are also with you. Travel well.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Arneson and his family. I'm grateful for the one time that I briefly met him at GenCon.

Here's to Mr. Arneson and Mr. Gygax, two guys who gave us a lot of fun.

I echo the sentiments of others in this thread, and pray for a speedy recovery. Dave, you have always been a class act. Thank you for years of good times.
