I just wanted to highlight how The Croaking Fane adventure, by Michael Curtis and published by Goodman Games as part of the series Dungeon Crawl Classics (adventure #77, nonetheless!) is an obvious Blackmoor tribute.
The world of Dungeon Crawl Classic can be classified as a world setting, although the adventures are designed to be easily dropped in other worlds with minumum effort, so I though that perhaps this is the right section to highlight this, but, if I got it wrong, I'm sure that an efficient mod will move it to the right place.

Here
http://goodman-games.com/blog/2019/03/29...as-punjar/ we have the confirmation that the world of DCC is not
arguably a setting on its own, but it is
actually a setting on its own.

There was a boxed set called the Known Realms that detailed this world. It was written by Blackmoor Alumni Harley Stroh. I think that boxed set called the world Areth or something like this?

I just found it:

The world is called Áereth, and the gazetteer that you mentioned must be this:

The more I read about Áereth, the more I have the impression that it is very similar to a revisitation of Blackmoor/Mystara.

I'm currently running this adventure as part of my Blackmoor Living World campaign and I have to say that it can be adapted to Blackmoor on the fly with really minor modifications (the names of the inhuman deities that may be simply managed by not mentioning them explictly).

I finished running this adventure and it was a good experience - I'd recommend to everybody as part of a Blackmoor campaign. It fitted in my campaign very nicely and required just minor adaptations.

Intrigued. I'm not familiar with the title. What about it rings of Blackmoor?

It's an adventure in an ancient temple lost in the jungle, where ancient toad / frog deities are worshipped...
Do you find anything ringing of Blackmoor?
