Blackmoor Conflict Lines

[Havard]

The truth is, I never quite understood why the d20 version pushed so much into that direction; from all we know, the Cabal was never, at least not in the way that ZGG presented it, the center of Arneson's own games. Now, that BM is much richer, is absolutely clear, but, yeah, got to say, the d20 books very much give that impression, IIRC.

Well there could be several reasons for this, but OTOH the focus does seem to shift in the later books. Once they got to Temple of the Frog, City of the Gods, Riders of Hak etc you had a more balanced presentation of Blackmoor as a whole. Unfortunately due to problems with publishing it took a really long time before these books were made available to the general public. So the perception of an inaccurate focus could be a result of that.
