What’s sad is that this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Mr. Arneson. But I thank you for letting us know of his legacy.

I got my roleplaying start back in 1982 or 83(the middle school years). I had probably read G. Gygax’s name on some products, but wasn’t too familiar with him. Needless to say, I knew nothing of Dave Arneson. During my roleplaying revival in the mid-90’s, I became more familiar with him, and his accomplishments. Also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Arneson at least twice during the last four GenCon’s. He was a true gentlemen. I will treasure my hardcover core books signed by both Dave and Gary. Dave, thanks for being apart of something that brought a bunch of kids from my generation, the Star Wars generation, together. We didn’t join cults, commit suicide, or break the law. Instead, we gathered at the table quite often(and still do), and forged friendships that transcended the game itself. I’ll honor you, and Gary everytime I roll the dice.

Well said. Thanks Dave for D&D. I hope you’ll be able to DM up there.

Thank you, Ken.

And thank you, Dave, for bringing the magic and changing our lives.
