The Quest for a Simple Yet Fun Table-Top RPG Continues!

[Havard]

I recently found a .pdf of something called "Dave Arneson's Black Moor" by Zeitgeist Games in 2005. I haven't managed to figure out how to play it with a group yet, but have read some of it and it looks promising. In the preface, Arneson basically said he wanted to make an easy to understand game where players all worked together to tell their own high fantasy story with the characters they controlled being the heroes of it. It's funny that in the intro he describes the way that even that nacent pre-Blackmoor game got a bit complex thanks to his wargaming buddies. He says "...the same Napoleonic guys that had hassled me before about the assorted minutia came around with tomes on medieval weapons! "So, Dave, what can this device do?" I thought I had escaped all that stuff..."

How are things coming along Dukethepcdr? Did you ever find a system and group to play with?
