Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor Joins the Goodman Games Lineup
March 17, 2003 – Goodman Games is proud to announce an agreement with Zeitgeist Games to publish Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor setting using the d20 rules system. Dave Arneson, creator of Blackmoor and co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, will guide the development team at Zeitgeist Games through the production of the book. The 224-page hardback will be available in August at a suggested retail price of $35.00.
"Blackmoor’s return will be a milestone for adventure gaming," said Mr. Arneson. "It was the first setting for D&D and it has always been the best. Now the old guard can relive their early adventures, and a new generation of gamers can experience it for the first time."
"We expect the Blackmoor world guide to set new standards for campaign settings," said Dustin Clingman, President of Zeitgeist Games and lead developer of the updated Blackmoor setting. "This is a world that has been constantly developed for almost 30 years. The roots of Dungeons & Dragons were nurtured in its soil."
"I’m proud to be involved in a project of this significance," said Joseph Goodman, President of Goodman Games. "Blackmoor’s a classic world with a very distinctive feel. It’s great to be part of its return."
The Zeitgeist Games development team includes well known writer Jeff Quinn, whose work for many prominent RPG publishers has earned him two ENnie nominations.
Dave Arneson, "the Father of Role Playing," first began development on Blackmoor in the early 1970s. He was the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons and a founding member of TSR. For more information, visit www.castleblackmoor.com.
Zeitgeist Games was founded in 2002 by Dave Arneson and Dustin Clingman. It began development on Blackmoor in late 2002 and is currently in negotiations with Wizards of the Coast to clarify the rights to Blackmoor. For more information, visit www.zeitgeistgames.com.
Goodman Games was founded in 2001 by Joseph Goodman. It is known for its original d20 supplements, including the Aerial Adventure Guide, Dungeon Crawl Classics, and Broncosaurus Rex. For more information, visit www.goodman-games.com or email goodmangames@mindspring.com.

Jeff has it right. We are going to expand the world of Blackmoor while maintaining the core vision. Dave Arneson has done an immense amount of work in carefully crafting this book to be one of the best of the year.
. After GTS we have a bunch in the hopper so I am glad they are keeping it internal
