Dave… Hmm… Sigh…

David Arneson

David Arneson passed away today. I found out right when I was posting about Forrest, Ben, and Arthur.

David was the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons. He took over a position that my friend Hap used to have in the game design program at Full Sail in Florida. He was a charming and fun man. He’d recently been battling cancer and I’m glad he’s out of his pain. I hadn’t seen him in a few years, nor was I much of gamer. I just remember how supportive he was of my friends’ projects and how he was always willing to teach his life lessons to a younger generation. I’m truly sorry I wasn’t able to spend more time with him, he’ll really be missed.
