Ok, guess I have to start this myself. Feel free to add things!
Here are a couple of things:
- The C&C Map as discussed in this thread.
- Arneson's dating system using the year 1071 to describe what occurred in 1971, or was it just a typo?
- Gertie's offspring! The Grey Dragon Gertrude is revealed to have offspring of many colors.
What else have you found?

Mentioned this on my comment on Jon's blog, but also noticed that Jenkins is married to Fants homely sister, not cousin as later reported in the FFC.
(You know, jenkins character really needs fleshed out).
The baron of blackmoor is beholden to inspecter general Snider. So presumably his position is Thonian.
There's also the reported earthquake, which would explain allthe collapsed passages/rubble on the 1st level of blackmoor dungeon.
The date is interesting since it presumably indicates the date of the founding of the Great Kingdom.
