[ZGG Repost] Greg Svenson not an original Blackmoor Player?

Havard:
I noticed Greg's name is missing from the list of original players of Blackmoor in the HC edition of the Sourcebook. I'm assuming that is a glitch? In any case, what does "original Blackmoor player" mean? During which years did these people play in Blackmoor?

Just curious Smile

gsvenson:
I am on the list of "original Blackmoor players" in the PDF version and, I assume, the softcover version of the Sourcebook. My understanding is that it was a glitch.

I can't tell you how the list was decided upon or what is meant by "original Blackmoor players", but I moved away from the Twin Cities area in the Fall of '74 (I transfered from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis to Mankato State University in southern Minnesota for the Fall semester that year) and I recognize all but three of the names on the list as members of our gaming group from that time or earlier. So, all of the players I recognize would have been players before D&D was published by TSR (which also happened during the Fall of '74). The other three players might have played in sessions that I was not present for, I don't know (their characters are written up in the DA1 "Adventures in Blackmoor" module though, so they must have been involved in the "early" days, too)...

This was a mistake that we corrected in the newer version of the campaign book. Both Dave and I looked long and hard at that list and I think that somehow we saw Svenny's name there even though it wasn't. Greg's the man and definitely an original player. I was very happy to join the list of honorary players this time around, but that's only because Dave allowed me to. )
