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

[Bard The Bowman]

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.

Aldarron, aka DH Boggs and Dan LOL. Thanks! I kind of figured it was part of Blackmoor set next to the Oerth and Greyhawk campaign Gygax created since they played in each other's worlds back in the early 70's. Now it makes sense why its part of Mystara. I definately am interested in getting into Greyhawk also at some point. I heard its an awesome campaign, and I have seen a TON of modules for it. I have it downloaded and plan on hopefully getting some use out of the timeline and references. =) Also, it seems you're the author also of The Lost Dungeons of Tonnisborg? Or am I mistaken and its a joint thing maybe? I don't know much about but I have seen the book browsing online and it looks awesome! Something I would love to run sometime when I am higher in level. Let me know more about this please. Thanks for getting back. Whats the ALT and EL iirc in the MMRPG sessions? I saw that and was so lost of what it meant. You and Harvard have helped me get up to speed a bit more with "Blackmoor" campaign. I do appreciate your time. Btw, do you know if the 4th Edition players manual something of the wolf was ever created? I can't seem to find the pdf on drivethru or anywhere online. Just curious if you guys knew. I am trying to collect all the pdf's made of 3.5 and 4th Ed.
