Timeline - Bard The Bowman - 09-19-2026
Hello Harvard and Aldarron,
I am so confused on when most play on the timeline. I looked at one created by David Reid Ross and I see there is a couple places you can start it at. I want to do it when the map is current with all the towns and cities. So when is that? Its quite confusing. LOL I also play Mystara campaign (BECMI) and thats easy its 1000 AC. But with Blackmoor, I don't quite get what year I should play in or most do? I also see Harvard you wrote in Threshold #1 fanzine an article I will soon read. Looks awesome!
Cheers,
Bard

Most Blackmoor campaigns are set around the time of the DA modules or the d20 Blackmoor line:
The DA modules are set in 1025.
The D20 Blackmoor material is set in 1030
Dave Arneson's original campaign is ca 995-1000
For the Mystara timeline, 1025 corresponds to ca BC4000
