A little bit of happier news - Dave's wife Marianne, son Tyler, and sister Michelle will all be coming to ARGFest this year.

Thank you for sharing David with us!

While I didn't stay with the game till the end, I seem to remember comments by Dave about aspects and artifacts of Unnatural Selection/Monster Hunters Club being based on Dave's father's experiences in East Asia.
Would anyone who was more familiar with the game remember more about that and comment on whether any of that content would be appropriate for inclusion, somehow, in Tyler's book?
Michelle might enjoy reading some of that, as well, if anyone knows where to find it.

I think it would be a treasure to include some of that material from Monster Hunter's Club in the memory book. Because not only was the story/game a Dave Production, but it's historical, and it's from family archives.

Chasing the Wish was the first ARG I ever played and I'll never forget the magic of it all.

Dave will be greatly missed and the ARG world will never be quite the same again.

Great Sadness

In too just found out about Dave's passing from Sunny's pm. I was stunned and immediately brought back to the first CTW. I was one of the women driving around NJ with Phyllis on the phone trying to meet up and get the mask that Amanda ultimately went home with. We had such a blast, strangers meeting up to go somewhere we'd never been as part of a game. For Dave to have been the delivery guy was a treat. (we actually kept a nervous eye out for mobsters showing up, we had no idea what to expect). Yes, Phyllis did sound crazed. Ah, good times. I am so sorry there won't be anymore of his games. What he created was truly special.

I just saw the news and am sitting here bawling. I wore my CTW t-shirt the other day and thought of him. I can look down on the sleeve and see where he signed Wes Keeler's signature. Now that shirt is even more special to me.

I had found this site by playing Push, Nevada as well and played CTW and loved every minute of it. SJCT, that night when he was delivering the mask... LOL That is a great memory. I wasn't the one getting the mask, but with me living so close, I wanted to be part of 'the action'. It was so much fun. We finally ended up in the bowling alley parking lot waiting for the 'delivery guy'. I remember when we were handed the mask, and he pulled off, I asked, that was Dave, right? Then we stood around taking pictures. (I will search for them, but I'm afraid they may have been lost on another comp ). And then finally meeting him in New York at one of the ARG Fests.

Here's another life Dave changed... Much love to Dave's family.

Hello all,

Also just heard about this today. Completely devastated as Dave and I had planned to work together on something we cared passionately about.

My commemoration and the story behind his website photograph here: http://futurlab.blogspot.com/2009/05/in-loving-memory-of-multiple-dave.html

Rest in peace.

I was fortunate enough to collaborate with Dave on several projects. Dave was an amazing collaborator -- no matter how chaotic things got, he was always there with his calming life force and brilliant solutions. He shared his knowledge and experience freely, and he made everything he touched better.

I'll miss Dave, but I am thankful for the time we spent working together.

Rest in peace, Dave.
