Dave Arneson passed away today after a long illness. He was the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, the game that changed my life and resulted in marriage (my wife plays, too), kids, many friends, and a pretty cool career (ongoing) in the creative arts for me. Unlike Gary Gygax, with whom I had a long friendship, I’d only met Dave a few times. But though I didn’t really know Dave, I honestly wouldn’t be here writing this without him. So, thanks, Dave. May you have a clear star to steer by and warm winds to speed you on this new journey. And may the destination be even sweeter than you imagined. Godspeed.

Halloween Month! Also, month of craziness as I was teaching a class (on classic horror films) and both our moms were/are having serious health issues — so our lives are in the middle of changing. […]
