Huh. Never heard of this. I wonder if the book might lend itself to being converted to an actual adventure?

Do you own this one, Havard?

EDIT: Ah, nevermind. How much did you pay for this rare gem?

$6.95 on ebay. :)

I will write an analysis and share here when time permits, but it may take a while before I get around to it.

I was doing some more research on the Fantasy Forest Adventure Book Series from TSR in , when I came across the following:

At least three books in the series are set in the same setting: #2: Ruins of Rangar (Mike Carr), #3 : Shadowcastle (Michael Gray), #4: Keep of the Ancient King (Mike Carr). All three books feature Sir Gregor the Good Knight. Since two of the three books were written by Mike Carr, I am wondering if he was using Blackmoor as inspiration for these adventures...

Can you please expand on this, once you read all the gamebooks mentioned, with ease?

I am curious, as well. I just noticed this. Sir Gregor certainly attracted my interest.
