Howdy everybody!

I had a few question, which I thought I might present to the Blackmoor experts, here.

This week, I obtained one of my RPG Grail items: A copy of The First Fantasy Campaign! :D

It's a 3rd printing, in beautiful condition! Which brings up my first question. Given the large page-count differences between the 2nd and 3rd printings, is there much material missing? Or, was it just tighter presentation? Was anything important cut?

If I were going to run a Blackmoor campaign, what other material would you highly recommend procuring? I'd be running OD&D, or maybe AD&D, but stuff from later editions is fine by me, so long as it has quality setting material.

Thanks bunches!

I second D@D as a way to flesh out an understanding of what's in the FFC. Any perspectives which can illuminate the sometimes confusing material in the FFC are always a boon to an OS/Blackmoor-esque campaign.

May I ask where the word "chop" was in the text?

Another oddity is the phrase "double 1" which makes no sense, but was probably originally "dbl" (=double) from what I've heard.
