Where to start? And where to go from there?

[Havard]

Oh, I know OS wasn't the basis of Blackmoor (but didn't I read somewhere that Dave Arneson had his players go out and adventure using the OS board?). But I'm not using the real Blackmoor map, just adapting the locations and peoples and fitting them into my version of the OS map. You see, what I'm trying to do is create a setting reminiscent of Blackmoor, but not one that my players will immediately recognise and learn all about. :wink:

Sounds like an interesting project

From what I understand (via Greg), Dave had a small map of the Blackmoor region available (as seein in the FFC), but once the heroes decided to explore the lands outside that map, he began using the OS map. If they moved beyond the borders of the OS map, there would be an identical tile there etc.

Not sure if that is something you would consider for your setting...
