Hello everyone,

I recently started a Blackmoor campaign with my gaming group, loosely based on the old DA modules and Wrath of the Immortals campaign. Only just joined the forum and haven't had a very thorough look yet and can't yet access all the content. But already very impressed with the enormous amount of info available here.

Have known Blackmoor since the late 80s when I was a teen and got some of the DA modules as a gift. Happy to see that the setting has been updated to modern times. Hope to visit the site a lot. Many thanks for keeping it up!

Regards,
Patrick

hello everyone, greetings from Tijuana.

Until very recently I only knew of blackmoor as the first campaign setting for d&d, that's it. Once I read more of the setting, I got interested, and I wish to show my players something from d&d history.

Greetings! I learned about roleplaying from the old West End Games Star Wars RPG, and began my role as a GM with friends and family. I moved on to MERPS and then AD&D 2e. I've been looking to get back into RPGs after a long hiatus, and would love to learn more about Blackmoor!

Welcome, Turambar!

The good news is, this is a pretty good place to learn about Dave Arneson's Blackmoor setting. The bad news is, there are several different iterations of the place.

It originally appeared in the Original D&D ("white box" "three booklet") as Supplement II. Gary Gygax included it in a corner of his Greyhawk campaign world. There was a falling out between Arneson and Gygax/TSR, and Arneson left TSR. The Judges Guild did a treatment of the setting ("The First Fantasy Campaign"). When Arneson returned to working with TSR, the setting was retconned into the past of the D&D game world. It did not return for an official 2nd Edition run, but was licensed back to Arneson and his game company for 3rd edition and 4th edition apparances.

Lots of lore. Lots of it conflicting due to the various iterations of the setting, which just means there are lots of pieces for a DM to work with :D

Greetings! My name is Che and I am the host of Roleplay Rescue podcast (not that this matters). I am a recent returner to the older editions of D&D and I really want to explore Blackmoor.

Hope you don’t mind me dropping in.

61 years old, married, adult kids - retirement is when I'll start gaming again. Work schedule is so screwed up it's impossible to get with a gaming group.
