After long battle with cancer, Dungeons & Dragons co-creator, Dave Arnesson, 61, has passed away. Best known for his work on original Dungeons & Dragons with Gary Gygax (who passed last year), he was true giant of the our small hobby. My condolences for his family and gaming buddies. :|

Hypnotically inclined.

    UPDATE: The Escapist has learned that reports of D&D co-creator Dave Arneson's death were incorrect.

    He is, in fact, alive and being cared for in a hospice. James Maliszewski at Grognardia says: "I am both glad to hear that Dave is not dead, as I was led to believe, and rather mortified at my having posted this information before it had been confirmed by a second source. I had no reason to doubt my original source, given his close proximity to Dave, but apparently I should have."
