The co-creator of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy game and a pioneer of role-playing entertainment, Dave Arneson, died at the age of 61 after a two-year battle with cancer, the American Free Press reported.
His family said that he died peacefully in hospice care in St. Paul on Tuesday.
Its sad... the new Dungeons and Dragons is just getting worser by the year... its become almost retarded and has strayed far from its roots... what made the game good is now pretty much dead...

I agree. Which is why I still use old editions and so do most of my friends.
I disagree. The new game is just different. I haven't played the older rules in a while, but I still play 3.5 and 4.0. Having had the experience of other systems like GURPS and Palladium, I am still grateful for the comfort of the original even if they have changed the structure. The new 4.0 rules are different, but in many ways it is better than the old. My regular group likes to refer to it as having a lot less suckage. This is not to say that I don't miss my old 1st edition tables and 2nd edition sub classes. I just don't hate the new versions.
I didn't realize Arneson was sick. I would see Gygax around town sometimes when I was a kid. I never quite grasped how big D&D was (even after seeing the cartoon on Saturday mornings and the games on shelves etc.) until I had to show my license to get into a bar or buy beer at a store or something and people would say, "Lake Geneva, do you know the D&D guys." This happened multiple times, and then it finally sank in.
Prisons across the country will have a moment of silence.
