A little over a year ago I posted my thoughts on the death of Gary Gygax, and it was that posting which spurred me back into updating RPGGamer.org.
        Sadly today I've just read the news that Dave Arneson passed away on Tuesday the 7th of April after a two year battle with cancer.
        D&D has now lost both of its fathers, and I have to admit that I never realised until I was reading his bibliography that one of my favorite Shadowrun adventures DNA/DOA was also by him.
        I'd love to write loads more, about how Arneson actually was core in many of the key areas of developing D&D, such as the players only playing one character, and the tolkienesque fantasy background, but I think really all I want to say at the moment is that we've lost another of the founders of our hobby, and he'll be sadly missed.
