After some conflicting reports about Dave's health and death, now it has truly come to pass.
I dare say it is a sad day for everyone in the RPG hobby and industry, and I feel it's appropos to reiterate my thoughts from the anniversary of Gary Gygax's death that I posted in March.
Like Gary's passing, even though I never met Dave in real life, his work has touched my life in significant ways, and I will always be grateful.Sorry to see you go, Dave.
