What is the "feel" of Blackmoor?

From my own point of view, look hardest at the earlier materials; the 'real Dave' tends to get a little lost in the later D20 material, as Dave did a lot less writing as he got older.

Thanks for this. I think I always felt this intuitively and got that impression from conversations with Dave, but it's nice to have confirmation from one who played with him a lot.
