I believe Blackmoor was the first campaign setting for D&D to be played in, and published. Dave was using Blackmoor before D&D for miniature battles in his Chainmail fantasy setting, and then just added the D&D elements as they were developed. The first dungeon adventure in the history of the game occured when Dave took a group of his players and a body of men-at-arms (a party of 30 or so) into the dungeons below Blackmoor castle. The only survivor, The Great Svenny, is still a figure in the Blackmoor campaign. Blackmoor was published before Greyhawk as the first fantasy campaign by judges guild. Blackmoor and Greyhawk were both named after the main dungeons where most of the early gaming took place, just small pieces of the greater worlds.</p></blockquote><p></p>
