Dave Arneson: October 1, 1947 - April 7, 2009
We have lost another giant of gaming my friends.
Mr. Dave Arneson has left us, but this world is a much better (and
more imaginative) place for Dave having been here with us. Dave
and Gary created this game we all love so much. The above picture
was taken at the greatest hobby store I have ever been in - The
Source, in Falcon Heights, MN. My homebase store and my weekly
stop for comics and new games/minis. Dave Arneson stated this was
by far one of the best hobby stores in the world (and he has seen
quite a few in his time). Dave and I actually started a fun (but
short lived) tradition of meeting for lunch every 2-3 weeks over
the winter as he moved back to MN to be with his family last year.
His stories of the very early days of D&D and Gary starting
his favorite reclinder on fire because he fell asleep while smoking
on it were indeed fun and something I will fondly remember for the
rest of my life. Dave was a big fan of Dark Sword and our award
winning miniatures. He was even going to DM two of my gaming groups
through an adventure, but we never got around to it as one day he
was doing fine and then he took a turn for the worse and then left
this world a week or so later. He died peacefully surrounded by
family and close friends while in Hospice Care. I attended his wake
and it dawned on me while looking down upon his earthly remains
that I had almost never seen him without a smile on his face. He
looked like a regal Civil War general laying at peace in his coffin.
I imagine Dave is sure to look up Gary Gygax, Keith Parkinson, Dennis
Mize, Chuck Crane and my daughter Lillian up in heaven to get some
"old school gaming" going. Rest in peace my friend.
We will raise a glass in your honor at Gen Con Indy this year. You
have touched millions of lives and you will be missed by all of
us Dave...

Dark Sword Miniatures Inc. was founded with the single purpose
of creating extremely detailed fantasy miniatures for both miniature collectors
and gamers alike. Our pewter fantasy miniatures are in the newer 28mm
to 30mm scale which has become the industry standard. In addition, we
think you will be VERY pleased with the subject matter of our first four
fantasy miniature lines which will be based on the artwork of Larry
Elmore , Keith
Parkinson (RIP), Clyde
Caldwell & Jeff
Easley. All four artists have been gaming industry icons for the past
20 years now and their artwork needs no introduction. Plus, they are just
dang cool dudes to hang out with. In addition, Dark Sword Miniatures is
also producing premium pewter miniatures based on the works of New York
Times best selling author George R.R. Martin. Oh, did we forget to mention
that Tom Meier
, Dennis Mize (RIP), Dave
Summers, Jeff Grace, and Gael Goumon are sculpting these new fantasy
miniature lines? These cats are tough to top when it comes to sculpting
amazing miniatures that have all sorts of detail just lavished all over
them.
Bookmark this Web site and come back often because we will be constantly
updating these pages with new information and new pictures of our fantasy
miniatures - both painted and of course in pewter. Take
care and enjoy the pewter miniatures!
