For Immediate Release
Zeitgeist Games, Inc. Announces the Launch of Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The MMRPG
Oviedo, Florida – February 1, 2005 – Zeitgeist Games, Inc. announced today that the launch of the brand new Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The MMRPG campaign will take place at MEGACON (www.megaconvention.com ) in Orlando, Florida on February 25th -27th.
Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The MMRPG is designed to allow players to participate alongside each other in the rich fantasy world of Blackmoor that Dave Arneson created over 30 years ago. The campaign allows players to travel all over the world attending conventions and gamedays that are running Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor events. Since the rules for the campaign are the same everywhere in the world, players can quickly jump right into the action just about anywhere people are playing without having to worry about house rules.
MMRPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game and was created to elicit connections to some shared design and play styles inspired by online computer games as well as distinguish Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The MMRPG from other campaigns with similar structures. Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The MMRPG holds player input and enjoyment as the critical components of a successful campaign. “Since the beginning of fantasy role playing games, it was the players who fleshed out characters, bringing them to life.” said Dungeons & Dragon co-creator Dave Arneson. “Even to this day, my original players are still adding and contributing to the world of Blackmoor. The MMRPG campaign will continue that tradition. Blackmoor is and always has been for the players.”
Players who begin play at MEGACON will be able to participate in the premier of the first four events created for the MMRPG campaign as well as attend a meet and greet session with the Zeitgeist Games Crew including the venerable Dave Arneson himself. Additional events will be premiered at a wide range of conventions and gamedays including Origins, GenCon: Indy, DragonCon and many more!
The MMRPG will be organized and administered by an experienced group of coordinators and advisors that draw from a wide range of backgrounds. The campaign is currently organized and produced by the following individuals:
Dave Arneson and Dustin Clingman, Executive Producers
Daniel S. Donnelly, Campaign Ambassador
Brad Ruby, Campaign Coordinator
Dawn Coakley, Plotline Coordinator
Stewart Larsen, Convention Coordinator
Joe Cirillo, Metagaming Organization Coordinator
