Blackmoor reading list

[Havard]

I forgot about Michael Moorcock, we were reading his books, too. This is what we were reading, not necessarily what we used in the games. We were all familiar with Greek mythology. Dispite the links to sci-fi more than 95% of our Blackmoor games were more typical D&D adventures. The sci-fi elements were what was unique about Blackmoor that the TSR staff wanted to publish in the late '80s.

I was hoping you would pop in here Greg. Good point about the sci fi elements being rare rather than every day stuff. I would say Tolkien combined with the the Napoleonics/Braunstein games seems to have been the main influences in that respect.
