TheMystic Wrote:Dave really believed that Blackmoor was a distinct place, but that it had so much room for so many different interpretations of what it was. I've really come to see that view to mean that Blackmoor was a sandbox to play in. Yes, there were consistencies in terms of the Kingdom, main NPCs and places - but there was room enough for dinosaurs, pirates, evil nazis, gunpowder, magic and steampunk.
It's easy to dismiss that diversity and to see it as a liability from a narrative point of view. People do get invested in their worlds and want the stories to matter and make sense - but there is plenty of room in Blackmoor for your stories too. I think Dave really wanted everyone to understand that.

Loved that Dustin. That should be a banner somewhere.
