What do Mark Twain and Dave Arneson have in common?

Answer: A lot.

For one thing, the rumors of their deaths were greatly exaggerated; Dave is still with us (as of my latest information). (Mr. Twain, obviously, is still dead. But nobody really expected otherwise.)

But both men wrote. They were both Americans. They both clearly had a great sense of humor.

Dave Arneson may not be the household name that Mark Twain is, but around my household he certainly is.

I'm glad he's still with us.
