Hehe, it's the setting for Lon Chaney jr's Wolfman movie, and the connection was very much intentional,
since Glendon shares an etymological connection to another iconic Blackmoor name that I will exploit for the game.

I also took some stuff from Chalke's novel, which is why I didn't mention it so far.
Like, the weird cosmological setup we are working with - not the veil, but all the vision-like moments,
and most prominently, the chessboard scene from I, 2.

BTW, the Jack Chalker wiki entry got an enormous overhaul, as did part of the novels from the Well series.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_L._Chalker



The books themselves have little enough to do with Blackmoor (I just reread the first one), but the overall science-fantasy angle,
and the use of two key terms (Markovian civilization, and, of course, "The Well of Souls") might make them worth a look.

Be warned, though, that this is fairly surrealist fantasy. Not very well written, and full of ideas readers today are not used to.
