More Sadness In The Gaming Community



One of the very early posts on this blog dealt with the death of D&D co-creator Gary Gygax. Well, the other half of the creation team, Dave Arneson, has passed away at the age of 61.

Various appropriate tributes to him are appearing on the 'net, including here and here.
