Can't believe I didnt notice that Garbage Pits was missing from Echohawk's list. Well spotted! :) -Havard

I'd love to get my hands on that game. I know that Snider placed Blackmoor in his Star Empires campaign, but I dont know if any references actually made it to the published version. Probably. It arrived on Blackmoor after a misjump, but it does seem to have been an exploratory vessel. Havard

As a DM I have actually usually gone the other way, trying to make the players do as much work as possible, leaving me to deal with plot twists, NPCs etc. Havard

Yeah, the I gets in the way. It ought to have been an F ;) Does Star Empires have an entity called the Galactic Federation? I know Star Empires was part of the inspiration for it, but I was wondering if the connection went beyond that. Sure, but you only find the things you are looking for...

No problem! You might also want to check out the downloads section on my site: Mystara's Ancient Past - Blackmoor I can see that :) The main connection is that this space ship is also called The Beagle, just like the one in Blackmoor. My theory is that Foul Weather takes place several years...

Its controversial, but I have also hypothesized that the adventure Foul Weather is tied to Blackmoor: d20 Modern adventure: Foul Weather More free Blackmoor Downloads: The Comeback Inn - Dave Arneson's Blackmoor - View topic - Blackmoor Downloads The Blackmoor blog: Havards Blackmoor Blog -Havard

So happy to see my favorite setting here :) -Havard

Started out with Mentzer's BECMI Boxed Sets. We pretty soon decided we wanted to try as many different RPGs (and editions) as possible. BECMI remains my favorite edition of D&D though. :) -Havard

Nice map! I hope to see the Piazza getting its own little island there some day... :) -Havard

Ideally, I would include these modules on both settings lists. However we are just talking about a few modules. Even in the B series, most of the modules are explicitly placed in the Known World. -Havard

I'm enjoying these threads Echohawk! I hope you will get to my favorite settings eventually as well: Mystara Blackmoor The Savage Coast (Red Steel) Thunder Rift :) -Havard

See if you can tweak them all into the same campaign. There are many examples of successful movies which started out with multiple scripts which ended up being combined into one really good one. -Havard

This is fairly reminiscent of how Dave Arneson used to run his games -Havard

That is great news. That site has been a very useful resource. It would be great to see it back and maybe even updated? :) -Havard

Yeah, that is a good one Darjr :)

Here's my take: 1. OD&D/Holmes <-> AD&D 1E 2. BX/BECMI/RC <-> AD&D 2E 3. D&D 3E/3.5 4. D&D 4E/Essentials Yep, its pretty boring, but it takes into account that the Clasic line and the Advanced line ran parallell until the advent of 3E. -Havard

Mystara and Blackmoor :) Havard

Cool :) Any stuff about your campaign available online? Have you checked out the Mystara 4E Conversion project? And the Mystara 4E Monsterous Compendium I? -Havard

Great thread! Those are good points and I also like Dragonhelm's ideas of focusing on the Skyship aspect of Mystara as well as the Hollow World. Something that has not been mentioned yet is the concept of Immortality and its implications for the setting. The fact that nearly every deity on...

Dave Arneson's original Blackmoor Campaign featured Lord Fang, a former ruler of Blackmoor who had been turned into a Vampire. Sir Jenkins, lord of the neighbouring dominion was also turned into a Vampire. It is unclear whether Lord Fang was responsible for this. These were villains, but due to...
