Years ago, Rafe and I were talking about how a core problem with both the DA series and the D20 line is that placing the campaign after Uther is in control of Blackmoor means that the idea of the adventuring in the Blackmoor Dungeon becomes a bit absurd. If the Dungeon is so full of danger, why would the king keep his residency right above it? And, if the King has the dungeon under control, why bother do venture down there?
OTOH, I never felt too comfortable running games directly during the Original Campaign either as I felt like I was stepping on the toes of the original players. The time immediately following the First Fantasy Campaign could be quite interesting. It is possible that Dave Arneson ran games set in this era, but at least these adventures are less documented. I think a campaign revolving around helping Uther to gain control over Blackmoor while fighting off enemies both from within and from without could be alot of fun, and certainly a challenge!
What do the rest of you think? Ideas for an Adventure Path involving Uther's Ascent to the Throne?
