Tacked Note Another D&D pioneer has left us

Dave Arneson's name may not be as well known as Gary Gygax, but he was just as instrumental in the creation of Dungeons and Dragons. On Tuesday, Arneson passed away, but his thoughts about what makes a good game are just as relevant today.

I actually had my DnD game that very night.

Even my forum name is one of my early and favourite DnD characters.

Best wishes for his new existence as petitioner. I hope he chose his deity carefully!

Another one moves on to the next level... his legacy will live long behind him.

Rest in peace.
