We present to you with our deepest of symptathy the announcement that Dave Arneson has passed away at age 61 on April 7th after a bout with cancer. Dave Arneson, for those who didn’t know, was one of the co-creators of Dungeons & Dragons, the roleplaying board game that put RPGs on the map.

This horrible news comes to us in an email that was released by Mr. Arneson’s family that assures us he was with his family and in a peaceful state of mind when he passed away.

From everyone here at DigitalBattle, rest in peice Dave Arneson, roleplaying won’t be the same without you.
