Hi, I've lurked around the Blackmoor and Mystara forums in the past, but this is my first time posting. I was curious about some Blackmoor history, and hoping to get responses from folks who know more, and maybe even from those who were there!
So, it is common knowledge that many Grayhawk NPCs in published material were originally player characters, like Mordenkainen (Gary Gygax) and Robilar (Rob Kuntz). I've also read that some Blackmoor NPCs also started as PCs. But I was wondering, are there any NPCs that originated as PCs of Dave Arneson himself? I've only read of him being the DM in Blackmoor games, did he have any recurring Player Characters that he liked to run?
