Dave Arneson, R.I.P.


Gaming has suffered the loss of another of its patron saints. On April 7th, Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, passed away after suffering from ill health for several years. He suffered a stroke in 2002 and was soon after diagnosed with cancer. He finally lost his battle with cancer, surrounded by his family in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gamers everywhere owe him a certain debt of gratitude for his work. He will be sorely missed.
