Blackmoor For All Editions And Generations! (Blackmoor Week 2022 - Day 3)

[Havard]

I have my own edition preference, but I'm not opposed to playing several different versions of D&D. However, for Blackmoor to survive, it will need to be adapted for 5E/One D&D and for any future updates to the game, so I'm glad to see efforts to make that happen. When there is a conversion already available for players and DMs, it makes learning and using a setting so much easier, whereas the lack of a conversion usually means the setting will gradually fade in gamer awareness and popularity. As the gaming audience ages and the game itself evolves, keeping Blackmoor current, through some form of adaptation or conversion, will be essential to its long-term preservation.

In honor of Dave Arneson, I want to thank Håvard, the original Blackmoor group members, and everyone who has done their part to promote Blackmoor and encourage the sharing of setting content, history, adventures, conversions, and more.

Same here. My favorite edition is BECMI, but I will play any edition, especially with cool people around the table. I've been running 5E a lot recently because most of my players like this edition. However, I also tend to tweak any edition so that it feels a bit more old school than as written. 

I also think fans of later editions will be more willing to try older editions if we start by playing their edition of choice. 

The most important thing is to have fun!
