Steve Lortz' Quactica and Blackmoor

[Havard]

Of course, I know about Duck Tower, it in itself being a ripoff of one of my beloved Midkemia modules, I think.

Midkemia? Or do you mean Judges Guild's Dark Tower (also by Jaquays)? Ripoff seems a bit inaccurate.

But that wasn't what we were talking about then; what it was, I don't recall.

As to Aesopia, well, yeah, it breathes Glorantha.

Nah, there are only a few Glorantha references. Ducks exist in Glorantha, but they are a minor race there, not really a big part of the setting except as a fan favorite/pet hate.

Not a bad thing, by any means, but probably not much Blackmoor.

True, there is very little specifically connecting this setting to Blackmoor. What is more interesting is the similarity in humorous elements. Blackmoor is obviously a much more serious setting, but humour exists there too, most noticably in the FFC.

Ever got the chance to interview Lortz?

Not yet

I wonder if BM ever had a Moria-like dungeon under Mt Uberstar that we never explored...

"Regent of the Mines" most certainly referred to a Dungeon
