The before Thonia world of Blackmoor

[Havard]

Is the "one on Greyhawk", the adventure where Gary DM'ed for the group?

Svenny was an NPC in Gary's adventure, but yes. I found out about it after the fact from Dave A.

Interesting that he would use your character as an NPC! Was Dave a player in this game? Do you know anything about what kind of characters Dave would play, if he didnt DM exclusively?

Sadly, while I remember them happening, no real details after 35-39 years. That portal in the Comeback Inn was always there, even if we didn't know it.

Understandable of course! Good point about the Comeback Inn though.

...Richard Snider also ended up in a WW2 battle with the Japanese. There was a rusty Japanese tankette outside the Freehold in the old days that was moved to Newgate sometime after Svenny became baron there (no fuel or ammo left, sorry).

Fascinating! It is so interesting to hear about these experiments you were doing with the game back then. These days I would probably link such devices to the Valley of the Ancients or perhaps other similar sites.

Tarns/Rocs:

Yes, but the peaks might be a better location for them (in my opinion). I think of the Peshwa as American indians or maybe Mongols/Tartars. With the dragon hills in their vacinity they might be more likely to be found riding dragons than Rocs.

I guess you are right. As Aldarron is saying that fits well with the general idea of the Peaks as well. Perhaps the loss of the Tarns to Blackmoorians could be linked to the Afridhi blocking trade with the Peaks?
