On a couple threads the question has come up "which Blackmoor". So I thought I'd ask and see what our forum members like best.
Although Its no secret, its only fair that I answer my own question first. My preference is for Original Blackmoor, with judicious cherry picking from later works, particularly the ZGG line. My reasons are simple, its the only one that is actually its own original world and not a Blackmoor shoehorned as an afterthought into a world imagined by someone other than Arneson. But I well understand folks who love thier world, be it Greyhawk, Mystara, whatever and want Blackmoor to be a part of it.
