[QUOTE="havard, post: 5000559, member: 20941"] Good question Allen, Dave stated that he owns the First Fantasy Campaign and all its contents, including the original maps. The status of Supplement 2 is unclear though WotC has clearly tolerated the existence of that pdf on Dave's website for years. I'm thinking this does not extend to the DA modules, though what happens to the shared contents between the DA series and the FFC is unclear. What I am sure WotC owns is the "Blackmoor" brand and the rights to publish a setting with that title. They also released a Return to the Temple of the Frog module as a free download on their website a few years back. ZGG/Dustin Clingman apparently owns some of the elements added to Blackmoor in the 3E era, including classes, feats, the Docra Race and the character Skelfer Ard. ZGG/CMP apparently have plans to use these elements in some of their future projects. I will try to get a better overview written up on my blog later on, but I think the above is pretty accurate. I dont have any inside information though. CMP were (understandably) pretty adamant about not discussing any such details with me, when I asked a few months ago. What this holds for the future of Blackmoor is hard to say. I guess WotC could publish a module or two based on the Blackmoor locations. It might fit with their Points of Light philosophy...
