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

[chirine ba kal]

As a newcomer to Blackmoor (I just learn about the setting two years ago, reading Havard's blog; and I play in its 4th edition incarnation), I like to read the experiences of people who had the opportunity to play with Dave Arnesson. So, this topic is really interesting to me.

And I'm interested in those earlier maps, as well

Welcome aboard! Lots of good people here, who can answer your questions. Maps are available on line, and I'm sure you can get pointers from our kind hosts!
