Adventures in Fantasy as a Blackmoor Setting Resource?

[aldarron]

The things I am looking into now are:
1) Bleakwood Mini-setting (this goes without saying).
2) References to Religion and Cosmology

Yes, mostly completly. The calendar is probably the only exception for me. It seems more in line with Richard Snider and the Perilous lands than Blackmoor and in any case clashes with the much more well developed Blackmoor calendar.

3) Alignments: Alignments seem to be more like Elric-eque forces in AiF than in D&D.

Not sure exactly what you have in mind here, but the alignment of magic, spells, and artifacts in AiF seems to fit right in with Blackmoor.

4) Monsters: Monsters sometimes say more about the setting than just that the monsters are there.

I have become much more cautious about this. It strikes me quite strongly that only a few of the monsters show Arneson's hand - most notably the dragon entry. The majority of the monsters look like the research and writing of Richard Snider, very much in the vein of his Perilous lands setting, meaning the alternate mythological earth approach, rather than the wild fantasy styling of Blackmoor. They're all fair game, of course, but I would avoid changing any details from OD&D based on an AiF description.

5) Artifacts: What are their origins, who used them etc?

Mostly

6) The Faerry Races

Well, mostly not for the reasons given under monsters above.
