Blackmoor dungeon history

[Havard]

Arguably each different Blackmoor must have a different time line to some extent. So Blackmoor + Wilderlands is not going to have the same history as Blackmoor + Great Kingdom or Mystara + Blackmoor or Greyhawk + Blackmoor or d20 Blackmoor (that's 5 more or less published versions!) or any attempts at blendings of the above. I'm cool with whatever somebody likes but my own preference is for Blackmoor + Great Kingdom, more or less in line with the original and my sense is that the timeline should just be a Cthonic age and a Present "rise of humans" age, but I like to keep things simple anyway.

I can see not being interested in including the Wilderlands and Mystara stuff, but leaving out the DA series seems too purist to me. I also think the D20 line has too many good ideas to be ignored. While Arneson's level of involvement in the DA series and the D20 line may be debatable, it remains a fact that he was involved at some level or other. The historian in me says to use the primary sources first (ie FFC), but certainly not to ignore other sources.
