Thanks for thinking about us Joe . After GTS we have a bunch in the hopper so I am glad they are keeping it internal

We have a hopper?!?! Now I can stop holding it!

Okay, I have to ask. Will the product be focusing on the medieval fantasy setting of Blackmoor, or do we have options to play in different time settings (renaissance, colonialism, modern, futuristics) leading up to its destruction (post-holocaust)?

Are we going to see any modules, like for the City of the Gods, or the Temple of the Frog?

Blackmoor will have three eras of play: fantasy, "post-fantasy", and sci-fantasy. Each will be covered in full-flavored detail and go hand-in-hand with each other.

Many fans have been asking for Zeitgeist Games to produce a "Return to..." series of adventures based on the original four. I don't think any of you will be disappointed with the module line that will be coming down the pipe. But, right now we are focusing on giving you the best quality base campaign you have ever seen. We are also trying to build on the past success of Blackmoor by providing new ground-breaking material. So, "Return to..." may have you chomping at the bit for GenCon Indy this year, "Welcome to..." will knock the gnolls clear outta your garters!

I have two questions:

The first is world maps. Will we get the same type of high quality maps as the ones from the Judges Guild era? I.e. numbered hexes, good paper, separate maps for the DM and the player?

The second... Do you plan to release the whole, unabridged Blackmoor dungeons? And if yes, when can I grab it?

Finally: fight on!

The map is certainly a high priority right now. I certainly loved the Judges Guild Map and I look at it all the time. Right now I don't imagine that there would be a pullout map from the Campaign Sourcebook, but there certainly could be in future works.

The actual map right now is in production and I may be able to post some screens of it as we get closer to the release date.

As for Blackmoor Dungeons, it's around and we are certainly considering it. We want to evaluate the response from the first book. Right now it's not specificilly on the list to publish but there is no reason we can't. I am sure people would love to see that hidden gem.

Quite a long time ago (OD&D and 1st Ed AD&D) Blackmoor made it's appearance. Judges Guild produced some quality stuff to support TSR's first ever campaign setting (Blackmoor), written by Dave Arneson.

The old TSR sourcebook and modules are:

TSR2004 - Supplement II: Blackmoor (1975)
TSR9172 - DA 1: Adventures in Blackmoor (1986)
TSR9175 - DA 2: Temple of the Frog (1986)
TSR9191 - DA 3: City of the Gods (1987)
TSR9205 - DA 4: The Duchy of Ten (1987)

There is a ton and a half of other products out there that mention it (I know Dustin has the entire list).
