Dave was seeking a reconciliation with him about 15 years ago. I spent months trying to convince Tim to give up his hatred to no avail...
Overall the guest list looks a bit odd as presented. I would have at least listed Wesely and the Blackmoor Bunch (assuming that is who they are) first and then the other gentlemen who are more associated with D&D in general further down.
But if it helps promote Dave's legacy I suppose the con itself could be a good thing

I got a call from one of the original Blackmoor players. They were not asked or consulted about going or running games. As near as I can make out, at this distance, Malia is also not involved or has been consulted; I think it's very telling that the event's web advertisements feature a strongly-worded disclaimer stating that 'DaveCon' is NOT connected to the Arneson Estate.
This is a mess already, and it's just getting worse by the hour here.
