I was not going to mark this day anymore than I marked Gary's. But I did want to say a couple of things since I have been so engrossed in Blackmoor of late.
Days of death strike a more resonate chord in humans. People always talk about where they were the day Kennedy or Lennon died. I for one always remember where I was the day I had heard Marvin Gaye had been killed or Curt Cobain had died. It is natural to want to mark them.
Me. I will always remember 8/16/2008 as my Dave Arneson day. That was the day I met him and got a chance to thank him for all he had done.
So again. Thank you Dave.
Good post. :(
ReplyDeleteGen Con 2008 - playing in the Dave Arneson's Blackmoor campaign, and in comes Dave to talk to us a little and thank US for telling OUR stories in his world.
ReplyDeleteI got him to sign my books and my laptop.
It was absolutely glorious.
