RIP Dave Arneson (another *sniff* sad farewell)
The other Co-creator of the wildly popular Dungeons & Dragons role playing game passed away on 07 April, 2009 at the age of 61.
While not as famous as his Co-creator, the late Gary Gygax, who died just over a year ago, Arneson is credited for changing the world of gaming. He converted the wargaming standard from one player controlling an entire Army to controlling a single character at a time.
A touching tribute to Arneson can be found here, in the Order of the Stick, and another one by John Kovalic (Illustrator of Munchkin).
Gaming will never be the same b/c of Gygax and Arneson, nor will it be the same without them.
Rest in Peace, Dave. And thanks so much for everything.
