Hello all new here I need some ideas for a new OD&D Blackmoor campaign

[aldarron]

Harvard,

Whats the weird enclave of Blackmoor PDF? It was created by Aldarron it looks like. Is that for using the campaign in Oerth? Vs Skothar? I am using mine 2000 years before the Known World was founded in Skothar so will this not apply to me? Or maybe you don't know anyting about this? Or is there still info I can use in it regardless such as history?

Thx,
Bard the Bowman

Hi Bard - so yes, I'm most definitely D. H. Boggs. lol.  Weird Enclave is primarily for Greyhawk players. Blackmoor began life in 1971 as a place on the Castle and Crusade world map along with another place called Greyhawk. After Arneson left TSR he placed a version of Blackmoor on the City State of the Invincible Overlord map by judges guild. In the 1980s  TSR struck a deal with Arneson to publish some of his adventures and the DA series of modules was born. Because they wanted to used them in the Basic D&D, TSR decided to make Blackmoor part of the Mystara setting even though a version of Blackmoor remained part of the world of Greyhawk. So there are at least three official settings for Blackmoor, if not more.

Anywho, I wrote Weird Enclave so Greyhawk players could draw on and use much of the Blackmoor material. 

I'd encourage you to download it even if you aren't interested in Greyhawk because its free and you might get some use out of the timeline or some of the references.
