Adventures in Fantasy as a Blackmoor Setting Resource?

[finarvyn]

AiF is a great resource for Arnesonian concepts, for sure; but at the same time, it's not useful in the same way that, what, a d20 book would be useful.

I don't want to come off as argumentative, but I'm not sure what this means, exactly. Usefulness comes down to what you want to do with it, yes?

In other words, if my goal is to recreate "OD&D Blackmoor" I would best look for Dave's First Fantasy Campaign, since it clearly was written to follow along design concepts common to Chainmail and OD&D.

If my goal is to recreate "Dave's Original Blackmoor" then it seems like he liked percentile dice and other elements which didn't find their way into the design of OD&D. Adventures in Fantasy may contain more of those aspects.

The d20 Blackmoor product line was most useful to those who want the setting expanded and modernized using current game rules.

In other words, what is useful to one person may not be as useful to another with different goals in mind.

Just my two domars.
