Hey,

Question's in the title: Just how many of the many, many clone/homage projects that were announced over the years really saw the light of day/were more than vaporware?

There is, obviously, Rob Conley's Blackmarsh/Wild North/Southland setting, which I recall that we partially reviewed here, but didn't find the thread to. :) (Short version: In the beginning, I wasn't specifically thrilled, but over time, this one has really grown on me. I'll never run it, but I have repeatedly recommended it to people that are new to BM, but not willing to invest in a lot of OOP books or PDFs.)

But outside of that, what's there? - I am not thinking about what was announced, or what was previewed, I am saying, what really saw publication? Dan Boggs' "Dragons of Dawn" was certainly an "Arnesonian" product, but it didn't feature a setting by its own, IIRC.

"Vaporware" here is not meant as an insult to the respective writers - I myself am guilty of that, here and there. ...And if you ask me when my own stuff will see the light of day, then I'll answer - "right after I finish editing the files for 'The Road'". :oops: :wink: But let's be real, here, too: If you released a three-page preview in 2010, and in 2018, the book/booklet/other project isn't out yet... Then it might just be that it'll never come out.

---

So, in sum, long story short: What's out there, folks? As always, I am a tad bit out of the loop, and would enjoy to learn some news! :)

Yours,

Rafe

Blackmarsh, but also I would consider Greyhawk Blackmoor to be a Blackmoor knock-off. It clearly borrows ideas from the "real" Blackmoor. Maybe it being a mirror world would be a better description.

There's also various Frog Cult adventures that seem like Blackmoor in all but name. Fane of the Toad is one that comes to mind, IIRC.

I can mention a few at the drop of a hat:
*Beyond the Towers, by W. Jason Peck, published by WotC (it includes swamps and ziggurats)
*Challenge of the Frog Idol, by Dyson Logos
*The Croaking Fane, by Michael Curtis, published by Goodman Games

I can also tell you in advance that next Blackmoor Living World adventure will be about this theme as well ;)

Just a passing mention about the fact that there is a (Old School) RPG publisher that is called Frog God Games! ;)

Also, what's the name of Golarion's Blackmoor inspired realm?
