Sad passings to gamers/RPers
16 years ago
I'm a geek, I know it, I play D&D.
Well, today, Dave Arneson, the co-creator of D&D passed away at the age of 62... he was the 'unsung' hero of D&D, as he created the first game 'world' setting, Blackmoor, and came up with the idea of the classic 'dungeon crawl'.
So, if you're an RP'er of any kind, most of what you may have played was spawned by this guy's original idea (even if it's not D&D, but just the concept). And for me, that's been 21 years or so of entertainment, fun, creativity and friendship that I've gotten to share with others.
God rest you, Dave, and thanks.
