The Pioneer

D&D co-creator Dave Arneson died last night, aged 61. Arneson was credited as co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons. He also ran the very first tabletop RPG games, starting in 1969, I believe.

I intend to have my next "Pyat's Fortress" ep, wherein I visit some of the places where D&D was written and first sold, sometime this weekend.

Why do the great die so young when John McCain and Jessie Helms just linger on? And you just know that the the RNC has Helms in some sort of suspended animation for the the time he's needed most. Granted that time is like 1870, but still.
