We knew at the beginning that any license was only temporary and we had hoped to be able to use some of that new material on future projects outside of Blackmoor.
Hmm. This is interesting. Did ZG make any new material that (for any reason) didn't get into the product line?
I've heard of Age of the Wolf. Is that a ZG thing or a CMP thing?
TheMystic Wrote:Dave was also very keen on the idea of there being many permutations of Blackmoor. Consider that the guys time traveled to fight Nazis and then into prehistory to combat dinosaurs. Blackmoor really could mean alot of things depending on the night or the DMs mood.
Ive spoken (over at The Piazza) about different copies of Blackmoor for different worlds (with Mystara having "M-Blackmoor", Greyhawk having "G-Blackmoor" and Wilderlands having "W-Blackmoor"). But this seems like a different concept. Did Dave have any ideas of how the "grandfather paradox"* might come into play, or was that hand-waved away.
* = The "alternate Krynns" from MWP's Legends of the Twins dealt with changes in the Dragonlance timeline. I thought that some of them were fairly intersting.
