Jon Peterson's Book and Scans

[Havard]

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.

Very observant!

(You know, jenkins character really needs fleshed out).

Definitely. I'd like to see more development on both him and Glendower. Baron Ungulian seems to have taken over Jenkins' lands after the latter became a Vampire, but there is certainly much to be explored here!

The baron of blackmoor is beholden to inspecter general Snider. So presumably his position is Thonian.

Interesting! Obviously this is a different person from "the Sniders" referred to elsewhere in the FFC (Brother Richard and Bozero).

There's also the reported earthquake, which would explain allthe collapsed passages/rubble on the 1st level of blackmoor dungeon.

Wonder if it caused other troubles as well? :twisted:

The date is interesting since it presumably indicates the date of the founding of the Great Kingdom.

Well, of course the date is really just a fun twist on 1971, but yeah calendars usually start at some significant event. Dave Ross' fan timeline uses the founding of the Empire as its starting point, basing it on the DA1 reference that "the Empire was founded ca 1000 years ago". Of course, one may wonder if that sentence from DA1 was indeed taken from Arneson's notes?

Anyway, the Ross timeline was appropriated by ZGG and I am way too lazy to recalculate all of the dates.

Edit: BTW, my latest blog articlehas some more comments on Jon Peterson's book.
