For those who don't know Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax were the force behind what we love and enjoy so much. Here is a press release that states Dave died at 11pm on April 7th...Roll a D20 and mourn. Both Dave and Gary...may you rest in peace.

Did he take exalted feats? Maybe he could come back as a risen martyr...

I came across Dave Arneson's name while writing a paper back in 1979 (am I the oldest guy on this forum - probably). Dave was key to the whole roleplaying world. I think someone would have eventually developed the rules and the single player perspective on things, but we roleplayed our characters and worried about their background and motivations because of Dave Arneson. A great loss, but an amazing legacy too.
