Let's improve the Blackmoor Wikipedia article!

That work would then build a reliable "secondary source" that could supply citation sources for all the weak points in the Wikipedia article.

In fact, I think you could write on demand. You could, for example, do an article that lists every Blackmoor product and gives a backround about when it was published. That would be the perfect way to create a "secondary source" that can be used to support the notability of all of those books (not that I'd want each of them to get a Wikipedia article).

Something else that I have been neglecting this last very busy month, but it will also return! Smile

I've been busy for ages now, and have noticed your inability to catch me up at The Piazza! Tongue

Maybe that could be a multi-part thing.

There have been several "waves" of Blackmoor. The first was obviously Dave Arneson's private campaign (which Svenny could tell you some stuff about).

Then you have the first products, where people only really see a hint of what Dave Arneson did. The obvious question there is, how much Blackmoor is in that stuff...and how much is omitted.

Then you have the Blackmoor references in Mystara stuff...and Greyhawk stuff. The question there is how true is that atuff to Dave Arneson's original game?

Later you have the 3e stuff. The question there is: is it Blackmoor? Or is it maybe Mystara's version of Blackmoor? Or is it something new?

Then you have the MMORPG. What is that? It is based on the 3e stuff, but what direction does it take the game in? Is it more Arneson-esk or less so?

4e. Is it any different to 3e (rules aside)?

Age of the Wolf. If this had been 3e, would it have been finished in time?

I think there are a lot of interesting questions that could be asked about every edition of Blackmoor.
