Dave Arneson critically ill

Finarvyn from the OD&D message board announced that he had learned that Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, was quite ill and not expected to live for much longer.

David’s cancer has unexpectedly worsened just this week, to the point that he is in the hospital. He is heavily sedated and not doing well. He is not expected to live for more than a couple days, if that long.
