Oh, now that’s sad.I’ve just double checked the BBC’s teletext pages, and found out that Dave Arneson — co-creator, along with Gary Gygax, of “Dungeons & Dragons” — died on Tuesday.
That’s sad to hear.
Now, I never played the defining game of the role-playing hobby, but I was familiar with it.
And think that both he, and Gygax, should have a plaque somewhere to honour what has gone on to be a major industry, in it’s various forms.
He’ll be missed by many.
In Memorium.
Dave Arneson
October 1st, 1947 — April 7th, 2009.

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
