Off to play in a D&D game today, set in Blackmoor...

[Havard]

Enjoy that!

I did, thank you; great game, and great players.

I was genuinely astonished that the famous 'city' map of Blackmoor Castle by Dave, showing the castle and environs, appears nowhere in the D20 books. I'm going to have to make a copy of it for the GM. I'm still astonished that Gertie's island - 'lizard Rock', if I recall, is simply gone from the map.

Ah, well; we had fun, anyway!

Thanks for letting us know about your game Chirine! It is cool that you get to play Blackmoor again. Those guys are lucky to have you in the group. I wonder if the absence of the city map has to do with copyright issues, but I would not think so since the dungeon maps appear in both the FFC and the d20 line.

They did add some things in the d20 line that probably was not from Arneson. On the other hand, the d20 line is set 30 years after the situation as detailed in the FFC so perhaps that could also account for some changes? Much of the 30 year leap also appeared in the DA modules from the 1980s and I think Dave had more of a hand in developing those modules (except DA4), even though he did have a co-author on that project (Ritchie).

Anyway, let us know how this game continues!

Oh, and tell us about your character!
