Under Fiction, you could add “The Gnome Cache”, an unfinished serialized story that ran in The Dragon issues 1 through 3 and 4 through 7. The chapters appearing in The Dragon #s 6 and 7 have mentions of Blackmoor village and Blackmoor castle. Issue 7’s chapter also ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, as hopping men and toads enter the scene. Are they worshippers of Wastri, or the Temple of the Frog, or both? One can only surmise, as no further chapters were written. A real pity.
Although at the time these chapters were written, Greyhawk was pre-publication and somewhat different than what would become the published Greyhawk of the Folio and boxed sets in 1980 and 1983, respectively, so I am not sure if this would be of any use to someone as “canon” Blackmoor in the Greyhawk setting. I found it very interesting myself, so YMMV.
