There's no saving throw against cancer

A year ago we lost Gary Gygax, one of the co-creators of the immortal classic Dungeons & Dragons. Today we learn that Dave Arneson lost the battle that no roll of the dice can win. I think that it's only fitting that I've just started my son's first D&D campaign. I hereby dedicate this dungeon crawl to the masters who freed our minds to battle kobolds and fight dragons.

Hoist your d20's to the true Heros. May you find all the platinum pieces, barrels of ale and buxom wenches in chainmail in the hereafter.
