[QUOTE="Blackmoor_Film, post: 7760720, member: 6968402"] To the OP, The influence is actually the reverse of what you would assume. Wesely's: Braunstein was a Napoleonic era game that had guns and swords and it began around xmas of 1968. It is the first RPG ever. not to be confused with Korns: Modern Warfare in miniature which is a war game with RPG elements. Several iterations of that game were set in the 50's/60's as a South American country called Anaban (banana). These were run by both Wesely and Arneson. The first Fantasy game being Arneson's Blackmoor. It is first announced in his fanzine called Corner of the Table Top in 1971. That very same issue has a play report of an RPG set in the wild west called Brown Stone Texas. We do not have an exact dating on when Brown Stone began, but if you read the report, you find that it is extensive and may cover more than one play session. Here is a image of that report: [URL]https://www.facebook.com/blackmoorsecrets/photos/a.1177543648971815/1184339771625536/?type=3&theater[/URL] Click the image and it will expand. You can use the side arrows to navigate through it as there are several pages. The Blackmoor Bunch also had an RPG set in the future that began in the summer of 1972. It was know as stellar 7 and as Star Empire and was created by John Snider. [/QUOTE]
