Hi I'm new here, so I hope I'm asking this in the right place... I've played D&D on an off over the years, ever since 1979 actually, and recently started planning a new campaign using the 3rd edition rules and some books from Dave Arneson's Blackmoor (2004-2006) that I happened to pick up used. Anyway, I've been gathering various resources here and there, and I noticed a discrepancy in the maps. It looks like the big map in Dave Arneson's Blackmoor scales distances at about half of what I've found on some other maps, meaning in some versions of the map it might be 100 miles from point A to point B, whereas in DAB, it might be about 50 miles. Is one of these a typo? Is the newer scale the official version now? Maybe it doesn't matter which version I choose, but I figured I should go with the consensus, if there is one.

Thanks,
Corey

Hi!
In the First Fantasy Campaign (Judges Guild, 1980), the book I go by as the "Great Tome" in my campaign, the scale is 1 hex = 10 miles.
In DA1 Adventures in Blackmoor the colour maps have a scale of 1 hex = 24 miles. :shock:
As for later books on Blackmoor, I don't know as well.
You'll have to pick a scale for your own campaign an adhere to it.

Thanks! Great answers!

Good question by the way. Dave L is the man to ask about maps around these parts :)
