Looking at the main sections of the boards, I notice that there is a section for Greyhawk & Blackmoor (Gary's world) and Mystara & Blackmoor (BECMI world) but I don't see a secition for FFC Blackmoor and/or Wilderlands Blackmoor.

Is this because there isn't much interest in a FFC-only discussion? Is this because this discussion gets hidden somewhere else? What is the thought process here?

I ask because (as many folks hereabouts probably know) my personal favorite version of Blackmoor is one of "older is better" -- by which I'm thinking that the earlier material has more interest to me than the later stuff. The FFC is one of my favorite RPG sourcebooks.

The problem has tradionally been that WL didn't bring enough traffic, IIRC. - And I say this being an advocate of the WL/FFC connection; my own campaign is set there.

I guess the thing for me isn't so much about quantity of traffic as much as keeping things seperate from one another. For example, I don't have much interest in Mystara and don't look in the Mystara section unless I get really bored. If I saw a section with FFC Blackmoor (heck, even with FFC and WL combined) I might be looking at ideas posted by others and thus generate more of my own. As it is, those ideas get scattered through "general" and I might not notice them.

Just my two coppers.

How about to begin with? :)

A Wilderlands Forum will have to wait a little longer, but feel free to start threads about it using the tag [WL] in the General Blackmoor Forum. The more threads about a certain topic people start, the sooner a forum for that topic will be created. Enjoy! :)

Looks great!

And as I think I mentioned earlier, I don't mind having the Wilderlands in the same pile as the original campaign. Since the FFC sort of covers both.... 8)

I'll be running a few JG scenarios this spring, but for Mordred, and as part of the Black Boar series, but not in Blackmoor.

IF I WOULD, then I'd likely look at the Pegasus scenario about the shipweck in the Valley of the Ancients region, though... :wink:
