Oh sure it does. What I mean is that Dave was a heck of a nice guy by all accounts and he definetely saw Blackmoor and even RPGs as a group project. I think it's very rare for him to reject anything published, so I don't have any qualms about being pickier than Arneson was about Blackmoor. Actually, I'm even pickier still because I don't care to include the sci fi elements (laser guns and robots) in the campaign I'm imagining. So I think its perfectly alright to have a narrower vision than Dave. For me, its about picking and choosing from the later material for what fits the flavour of the earliest Blackmoor world and preferably has the most Arnesonian input, but not neccessarily so, if it fleshes out a very "in character" part of the story. I realize it all sounds vague and arbitrary,well, I suppose it is.
