A summary of Dave Arneson Game Day 2018! -Havard

I think we can all be fans of both D&D creators :) Did you ever play with anyone from Arneson's group up there in the Twin Cities? :) -Havard

Official Comeback Inn Thread has been posted. This thread will collect everything people are doing for today. -Havard

Excellent work Yaz! Those PDFs are gorgeous! :) -Havard

Looking forward to that! :) -Havard

Dave Arneson Game Day first appeared sometime after Dave Arneson passed away in 2009. While others were more involved in its creation, it has been co-opted by the people over at the Comeback Inn and other places where fans of Blackmoor and Dave Arneson gather. Although it less ambitious than...

Thanks for the plug! It has been great working with Greg on this project. We have several other projects in the works working with many of Dave Arneson's original Blackmoor players. Everything is free and non-profit of course. -Havard

Mystara had its own version of the fairy world. In PC1 - Tall Tales of the Wee Folk, it was referred to as the Feywood. I have made a map of it here. Elves OTOH are said to be the creation of the Immortal Ordana, although the Dragonlord Trilogy suggested yet another creation story for the elves...

True. However, many things from the BECMI rules are closely woven into the setting. Removing all of those features would leave you with the rather bland version of the setting that appeared in its 2E form. In the case of the dwarves, the setting specifies that the dwarven resitance to magic is...

I am happy to hear that! Thank you! :) I agree. While traditionalist Mystara DM's might feel like removing those races (and that would be ok), that's not how I would handle it in a published version. Too much "no, you can't do that" will just turn people off and that's not what a publisher...

I think its great seeing Mystara as part of the conversation again. I see many people in this thread talking about what Mystara is, but I think it might also be useful to talk about how Mystara should be presented to a modern audience. Mystara in its original form (BECMI) was incredibly...

I saw. I think this is a good move. I am really looking forward to Empyrea, but I can wait until they get it right :) -Havard

I am a backer and will back the new one. I like how Aquaria ties with some of Frank's previous work such as the BECMI series. Also I think Aquaria's relationship to technology, druids, elemental planar connections and the idea of a young nation of human settlers surrounded by more powerful...

Watching this with great interest! :) -Havard

I am excited about this! I am been eager to learn more about this world ever since I started reading more detailed information about it on the Empyrea/Aquaria Forum at the Piazza. -Havard

Today, October 1st, is Dave Arneson's Birthday. Here's my tribute to the co-creator of D&D: http://blackmoormystara.blogspot.no/2017/10/dave-arneson-game-day-2017-is-today.html -Havard PS: Mods, sorry if this is not the right forum for this post. Feel free to move it. :)

Thank you Celebrim! :) -Havard
