I'm gutted! DmVitkyng was one of my oldest and dearest friends. I first met Darcy and his brother, Dana, 30 years ago when they answered an ad I put up at a gaming rental shop for D&D players. It was like they both were an instant fit which isn't always easy to find. We lost touch when he moved to Texas for a lady he met over the internet but in recent years he had returned and we picked up from where we left off.
I have to say - and I did tell him this - he was probably the bravest person I know. Darcy was fearless. Despite being legally blind he would do things like walk home from partying with his coven in the middle of the night, in the worst part of the city with nothing but his cane to guide him. I told him he was crazy but he just shrugged and said, 'It was no big deal.' That was the way he was with anything he set his mind to. And despite all his health problems I never heard him complain about anything.
Darcy was an amazing person, a great DM and a good friend. He was a Wiccan of the Norse tradition so I truly hope he's now in Valhalla drinking tall mugs of mead, while teaching all those vikings how to play D&D.
Luv ya Darce
