After reading over Dave Arneson's Blackmoor, I could find nothing in the book that related to the phase of the moon. Or for that matter any information about how many moons that there are in the night sky.
Does anyone know?

Thanks - Very Happy
Rob

Havard:
I'd assume one, since there hasn't been any mention. If your Blackmoor is part of Mystara, like mine, there would be two moons, though since one is invisible it rarely affects the way of things.

Does Greyhawk have more than one moon BTW?

Falconer:
Greyhawk has two. "The Great Moon (Luna) waxes and wanes in fixed cycles of 28 days each, upon which our months are based; while the Handmaiden (Celene, the small aquamarine satellite) follows a path which shows Her in full beauty but four times each year, thus showing us the time for our Festivals. When both Mistress and Handmaiden are full, things of great portent are likely to occur, depending upon the positions of the five wandering stars in the Lairs, naturally. For complete details of Astrology, I recommend the reader to such texts as Selvor the Elder's Secrets of ye Skye Revealed or Yestro Bilnigd's Astrology, Divinity, and Mankind." Regards.

Thanks Guys,
I was setting Blackmoor in its own separate world. That way I will not have to worry about any references to other game worlds. So I will assume 1 moon unless otherwise specified by the higher powers (Dave or Duston.). Using a 28 day cycle of the moon.

Thanks
Rob
