If I'm getting a new Blackmoor campaign started it wont truly be Blackmoor unless I'm involving some of the classic Blackmoor NPCs will it?

Toska Rusa, the Egg, Thorsen: These are ideal villains, easy to get into the campaign and easy to use.

King Uther, Fletcher William: These are typical employers of the PCs. I dont think they should get to meet the king untill they have made something out of themselves, but he will be there in the background while the Fetch...fetches!

Svenny: Ofcourse I'll have to bring Svenny in! I'd say Svenny is an ideal ally for the PCs, and perhaps their first friend in the Regency Council. He can be someone to inspire and make the players want to become like...ofcourse many players dont like that kind of NPC...

Mardfeld: I like Marfeld, and even more after I read Zimriel's speculations about this character. In many ways he can be used like Svenny, as a friend and mentor and ally, but ofcourse one day should become an enemy of Blackmoor..that will be a day to fear...

Any other NPCs I just have to bring in? Smile

Gsvenson:

This isn't exactly what you were asking, but here goes.

Svenny's closest companions in the early days were the Blue Rider, Mello, Brother Richard, Bozero, the Bishop and DeBelfry along with a group of people who didn't stick with it long enough to make a name for themselves.

Also, King Frederick of the orcs of the Black Hand still has a village in the dungeon under Blackmoor castle.
