[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 1918812, member: 8461"] Actually, the product titled [I]Greyhawk[/I] preceded the release of the product [I]Blackmoor[/I] by a few months. Hence why [I]Greyhawk[/I] is titled [URL=http://www.acaeum.com/DDIndexes/SetPages/SetScans/Supp1eleven.html]"Supplement I"[/URL] and [I]Blackmoor[/I] is titled [URL=http://www.acaeum.com/DDIndexes/SetPages/SetScans/Supp2.html]"Supplement II"[/URL]. In terms of setting information, the Blackmoor on Oerth is in no way, shape, or form related to the one on Mystara, speaking in-game. While each world has a location named Blackmoor, and even a location called the City of the Gods, the two have no in-game shared history. As other people have said, Dave Arneson's [I]Blackmoor[/I] was put into the world of Mystara. The Blackmoor on Oerth was put there as an homage by Gygax to Arneson's [I]Blackmoor[/I] (though many people believe he was sort of poking fun at it also, since [I]Greyhawk[/I]'s Blackmoor's capital is Dantredun, which is an anagram of "redundant"...which seems to say that that's what Blackmoor was compared to [I]Greyhawk[/I]).
