One thing that in the Fantasy Companion fits perfectly with Blackmoor "traditions" are the rules about carousing (see page 77, in the Downtime section). I think that in this case it is not a coincidence, but it is rather a tribute to Dave Arneson, as he mentioned carousing for the first time in a fantasy ruleset (OK, he did lots of things for the first time...) and created some rules around it - not many other rulesets have section about carousing... maybe mainstream publishers for whatever reason considered carousing less palatable than other rules and topics....
