Ok, so I stumbled upon Blackmoor because I was looking for games to play with my friends at GenCon. I noticed the game and did a little research. That led me here. I have read the The Official Campaign Document. The world intrigues me. I noticed many references to the Blackmoor Campaign Book. My main question is do I have to have that book to run and be involved in these games? I would prefer to not buy yet another book until I get to play it and learn my group really enjoys it. I was also wondoring about judging in Home Games. If I run these games am I qualified to sign off on my players getting the XP and item Certificates?
So just a few questions I'm sure I will have more

I'm probably not the best person to be asking about the MMRPG, but I think you can still play without the DAB Sourcebook. Having said that, I heartily recommend the book.
Ofcourse, my main reason to writing here is actually just to welcome you to the boards

Spikey:
Yes, a hearty hello and welcome to the boards! I have to be quick now as I'm not on my own machine, starting tuesday I'll be a regular again.

You are currently posting on the home game section of the list. These discussions normally deal with how folks use ZG's Blackmoor product in their home games. It has been helpful to me running my own home game.
Some of your questions deal directly with the the MMRPG. No, you don't have to buy the Blackmoor Campaign Book. At some point I imagine you will pick it up, because it is very useful, but to initiate play, it is not necessary. You'll really need it to run a home game. A cheaper option is to go and buy a pdf of the text at EnWorld.
As to how to use the MMRPG episodes. If your players want their characters to be"portable" and playable at cons and with other judges, then the episodes must be played as part of a series involveing only those episodes and the certs, etc. can only be official certs issued by the campaign. Also, if you "eat" and episode, that is, if you have to judge it without having played it, you quailify for you very own special cert, "You Ate an Episode" that rewards you and your character for that selfless act in our campaign.
Feel free to email me if you hvae any questions.
However, it has been my experience that you ca ususuall find someone to come and judge stuff for you if you ask. Feel free to use this forum to do so.
