Let's improve the Blackmoor Wikipedia article!

[Big Mac]

==d20 System==
{{Unreferenced section|date=May 2009}}
After the ''Basic D&D'' game and its Mystara setting were discontinued, [[Zeitgeist Games]], where Arneson worked prior to his death, produced an updated [[d20 System]] version of Blackmoor, ''Dave Arneson's Blackmoor Campaign Setting'', published by [[Goodman Games]], [http://www.goodman-games.com www.goodman-games.com], in 2004.[http://www.goodman-games.com/pastnews.html 3rd Edition Publishing Announcement] '6/27/04 - Blackmoor is off to the printer and on track for a Gen Con release! If you want to be one of the first to get your hands on this beauty, be sure to place your preorder now!' Goodman Games 'Past News' page, retrieved January 2010 Goodman and Zeitgeist also produced a Blackmoor d20 adventure module, ''Dave Arneson's Blackmoor: The Redwood Scar'' (2004) and sourcebook, ''Dave Arneson's Blackmoor: The Wizards Cabal'' (2005). In 2006 Zeigteist Games started publishing new books on their own. The 2006 release calendar includes a softcover reprint (with added content) of ''Dave Arneson's Blackmoor Campaign Setting'', a hardcover version of the ''Dungeons of Castle Blackmoor'', ''Player's Guide to Blackmoor'', and the adventure 'Temple of the Frog'' (which had a sneak preview event at [[Gen Con]] 2007).

This section is "at risk" of deletion. It has been tagged as lacking sources of information. You need to split up the specific facts in this paragraph (for the purpose of challenging this "unreferenced" tag and then ensure that you identify a "reliable source" for every fact.

Some have already got citations, so you need to break this up - sentence by sentence - and then track down websites that have the same information on them.

I personally think that Havard's Blackmoor blog is a reliable source of information, as he writes factual articles about Blackmoor's history and provides links to other sites to back up his claims. That is the sort of thing that Wikipedia "needs". (Although it is possible that the delitionists may attempt to challenge the reliability of his site.)

==Dave Arneson's Blackmoor: The MMRPG==
There is also an ongoing [[MMRPG|Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game (MMRPG)]] campaign, [http://mmrpg.zeitgeistgames.com mmrpg.zeitgeistgames.com], organized by Zeitgeist games, which is similar in form to the [[Living Campaigns]] organized by the [[RPGA]].[http://mmrpg.zeitgeistgames.com/ What is Dave Arneson's Blackmoor: The MMRPG?] Dave Arneon's Blackmoor the MMRPG homepage, retrieved January 2010 The version of the campaign for D&D 3.5 ended in February 2009 at [[Megacon]] with a version of the campaign for D&D 4th Edition expected to launch at [[Gen Con]] 2009.

I've never liked the term MMRPG, as that is taken (by non-Blackmoor fans) to be something like World of Warcraft. In fact, if you surf over to the linked article that has nothing to do with "Living Campaigns"

A list of their released adventures can be found [http://mmrpg.zeitgeistgames.com/index.ph...play&pid=3 here]. The episodes for the MMRPG are available for free to play at home and at [[Gaming convention]]s such as [[Gen Con]] and [[Megacon]].

I'm not so sure that this is useful to a casual reader. I think it would be more valuable to tell people that "Dave Arneson's Blackmoor: The MMRPG released X adventures that could be run at conventions or used for home play." (This should obviously be backed up with a reference - which I would suggest you put that link into.)

[[Megacon]] is Blackmoor's home convention, where the new season is kicked off each year.

Is this actually relevant? Is Megacon still going? Where is/was it held? What year did it start? Where is the Megacon website? Did anything interesting happen in the years that Megacon was run?

==4th Edition==
In 2008 [[Code Monkey Publishing]] announced that it had reached a deal with [[Zeitgeist Games]] to be the publisher of Blackmoor in the new Wizards of the Coast 4th Edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons''. The currently announced plans for Blackmoor in 4th Edition include a reprinting of the 3.5 Blackmoor core book using 4th edition mechanics and a series of three books set after a time jump of unknown length [http://mmrpg.zeitgeistgames.com/index.ph...cle&sid=22 4th Edition Publishing Announcement].

This article says nothing about this being a flash in the pan. Wikipedia is not a way to "spin" Blackmoor. Readers of Wikipedia need to know that the 4e Blackmoor line faltered. (And this needs to be done from a neutral point of view. Nothing is "good" or "bad" on Wikipedia.)

Again, Havard could help here. He has picked up some Age of the Wolf artwork and got feedback from people working on it. I think that it would be really interesting to show how the big plans for Blackmoor went wrong, from the point of view of the artists that Havard has spoken to.
