Hey all!

I;ve been digging into the history of D&D and naturally that brought me here! Really excited to read up on the roots of D&D and see what people still playing in this setting are up to!

Greetings everyone,

My name is Carlos and I'm one of the DMs from the Blackmoor convention days when Dave Arenson was alive. I'm going to have a lot of people play this game again who haven't ever heard of it and I still have a lot of My original.

Hello everyone!

I'm James Mishler, otherwise known as Mystaros on the Mystara boards and sites. I also published some licensed Wilderlands products years ago in partnership with Bob Bledsaw (the first of that name).

Long time Blackmoor fan, first time poster. Thanks for the add, Havard!

In my recent quest to rediscover the roots of my own love for gaming, I have rediscovered Blackmoor through my copy of FFC and my copies of the DA series from TSR.

In a classic case of gamer distraction, I have moved on from working on my Wilderlands campaign (which is on extended hiatus, anyway), to working on building a Blackmoor campaign.

I am building it up from the elements outlined in the FFC, with elements from the DA series, but going in similar but different directions.

I do not have the ZGG products; do they provide insights into Dave's original works not available in the other materials, or are they essentially a conversion of the original materials to 3rd and 4th edition?

What fan-based materials do you feel are the most useful and interesting to consider?

What is the policy for posting one's own fan materials, such as write-ups and maps?

Thank you, and good gaming!

You are the most welcome here, Sir! All the best!

To answer your question, Zeitgeist Games material in general is not a conversion of other material, but it is mostly new stuff (apart from the main settings books, we are talking of almost one hundred one-off adventures).
How much of that is a genuine insight or expansion of Dave Arneson's true ideas for Blackmoor is a topic for high level scholars as he directly authored only small part of that material, but, as far as I understood, Dave Arneson supervised quite strictly the early productions and then less and less, depending on his health, unfortunately. :(

Said that, I am running a campaign based on Zeitgeist Games MMRPG (all short adventures, sometimes connected in longer story arcs), adding DA stuff piecemeal, just to have longer adventures every now and then, and so far my players and I are having great fun. I hope you will have great fun too. 8)
