Blackmoor RPG same Blackmoor from Oerth?

[David Howery]

the Blackmoor nation in GH is rather a backwater, IIRC... nothing important ever happened there in published works, and there wasn't a whole lot of interesting history there either. The place was ignored in the GH wars and the aftermath.... was Blackmoor even mentioned in The Adventure Begins?

The founding D&D campaigns were all inter-related at a basic level in the sense that PCs would travel from one to another with regularity.

For an account of an adventure DM'd by Dave Arneson in the City of the Gods for Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz's PCs Mordenkainen and Robilar, see Oerth Journal #6 at http://www.canonfire.com/htmlnew/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=18

I always liked the DM notes at the end...followed by the Player notes that were somehow, uhm, different to what Arneson thought about the whole expedition to the City of Gods

Those are some pretty cool notes. I don't think I had ever seen that before! Thanks for the link.

De nada, Dustin. There are several very old accounts of adventures in/around Blackmoor Castle around---folks like Scott Gregg (among others) dig them up and share them via Greytalk, Canonfire!, various boards (especially the PPP and Doomsday Games boards), etc.
