I’ve just got home from my weekly 1st Edition game. Sad news.

I hosted a small band of D and D players, while living in CA. in the early 80’s. It was quite enlightening.

RIP Dave.

Ah man, still have that original book. I was going to play today, but wasn’t prepared enough.

Shame, he really sparked my imagination with his illustrations.

I remember him mainly from his comic Wormy in Dragon magazine. He just stopped drawing it and his royalty checks were returned uncashed. I would love to know the story about why he just threw in the towel on his career. Rumors circulated from arguments with TSR to religious conversion to mental breakdown or even death back then.
