Dave has gone to meet the great dungeon master in the Sky

Tags:
Reading the BBC website today I noticed an obituary notice for Dave Arneson. Less well known (certainly to me) than Gary E. Gygax but apparently just as responsible for my youthful misspendings Arneson co-created D and D.

I played D and D a little but mostly Runequest.

Anyhoo thanks Dave for the hours of fun until I discovered girls (or they me) :-)

12 - Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
