Does everyone still look at this city map as "the" Blackmoor City map? I have read that Blackmoor became much larger with more of a population. So I wasn't sure if everyone thought of it as much larger now or not. I just wondered what the fan consensus was about that?
Not sure about the consensus, but here are my thoughts:
The FFC details events that for the most part took place in the years around 990-1000 of the Thonian Calendar. The DA modules take place ca 25 years later and the d20 material 5 years after the DA modules again.
Some of the material in the FFC takes place when Blackmoor Town is occupied by the Egg of Coot and later when Sir Fang controls the Castle.
I have always believed that in the 30 years following the events of the FFC the city grew, especially as King Uther declared independence and made Blackmoor his capital (previously being ruled from Vestfold).
In my campaign the area mapped in the FFC is considered "Old Town" with a second city wall surrounding the first one, adding a number of temples and shrines to the Gods from the d20 books, Blackmoor University has been constructed above the Wizard Pit (as per DA1) etc.
David Ritchie was working on a map for the unpublished DA5 City of Blackmoor which would have incorporated similar features.
By the Thonian Year 2000 (or thereabout), Blackmoor had likely grown to a massive metropolis connecting Booh and Vestfold, powered by technomagical nuclear power plants with monorails taking you to Maus, Starmorgan or Starport.
