[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 6407426, member: 34958"] [SIZE=3][SIZE=2] I just wanted to add that Tim Kask told me that he deserves greater writing credit for Blackmoor than he gets. Supposedly Blume and Gygax came to him smirking and holding several wooden baskets filled with loose single page notes. They said they had a job for him, and told him that the piled notes were everything that Arneson had given them on Blackmoor and that as editor it was Kask's job to put it all together in time for the quickly approaching publishing deadline (I think it was a week or two away). Anyway, this was on top of Kask's other editorial duties. Tim Kask said the notes were so incoherent or conflicting in places that he did away with much of it and wrote entire passages on his own. I think Kask liked Arneson fine as an ideas kind of guy, but at the same time Arneson's lack of organization and manner of working drove Tim Kask nearly insane. On the other hand, although he pulled a lot of long hours, Kask liked to take recreational pleasures while he worked, but you'll have to ask him about that yourself.[/size][/size] [/QUOTE]
