RIP – David Arneson (1947-2009)

The site you’re reading started out being called Fantasybookspot.com, so our roots are pretty self-evident. After some fiasco about confirmation earlier in the week, it seems that Mr. Arneson has passed away. Arenson is credited as the co-creator (along with Gary Gygax – who also recently passed) Dungeons & Dragons. I wasn’t a big gamer, but beyond P&P D&D kindled fundamental interest and spirit we have seen go on through several generations of video games.

BSC would would like to offer our condolences to Mr. Arneson’s family and friends. Here is in information to send cards or attend the public visitation.

The Arneson family would like to thank everyone for their support over the last few days, and for the support the entire community has shown Dave over the years.

We are in the process of making final arrangements and will provide additional details as we work them out. We will continue to receive cards and letters in Dave’s honor. We are planning to hold a public visitation so that anyone wishing to say their goodbye in person has the opportunity to do so.

Cards and letters can continue to be sent:

Visitation will be on April 20th
Time: yet to be determined
