Continuing the D&D and ebook themes, Wizards of the Coast — who own and publish D&D — recently put a stop to digital sales of their games. That is to say, within a day, they told all resellers of WotC PDF’s to discontinue sales and to halt (for now at least) redownloads of already purchased productsBecause outside of Infinite Loop 1, redownloading purchased products is generally considered a ‘good thing^tm^’. Though WotC products are responsible for 20% of sales in eRPG’s, WotC cite rampant piracy as the reason for their move.

Dave Arnesen, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, alongside Gary Gygax, has died.
As I also wrote when Gygax died last year, what I’ve gotten from Dungeons & Dragons is what I surround myself with every single day. My job, my hobbies and the D&D campaign I play in every other week.
I salute you gentlemen, with the finest mead of the kingdom.
My job as a game designer, my nearly life-long hobby of roleplaying, much of my interest in writing and reading; these are rings in the water, emanating from the pebble that was Gary Gygax, starting for me, with the red book above.
I raise my +1 longsword in salute.
