Dave Arneson's "Island of the Wolf"

[Havard]

Got some interesting input on this topic from Aldarron over at Finarvyn's forum:

I think, and this is only my impression, the "isle of the wolf" though unpublished, is part of that font of story material that Dave would relate to the writers working on the DAB line. I have suspected that Isle of the Wolf may have formed the basis of the wolf wood.

That is not a bad theory. If it is true, it proves that Dave had more of an influence over the ZGG Blackmoor line than some would suggest.

I could see the Wolf Wood description working well for an island with that title. Makes me wonder what came first. Did Dave originally create the Wolf Wood that way and then try to turn it into an island adventure, before reverting it to its original Blackmoor form?
