Zeitgeist Games announces the Blackmoor line of d20 products.

Orlando, Fl - August, 30, 2002 Zeitgeist Games today announced the production of their Blackmoor line of gaming products. The line is based on the original Blackmoor campaign of Dave Arneson. Arneson is the co-creator of the original Dungeons & Dragons role playing system. The famous Blackmoor campaign was the nexus and inspiration for the combination of role playing with miniatures and served as a foundation for what the RPG industry has become today.

Dave Arneson, creator of Blackmoor and co-founder of Zeitgeist Games commented on the announcement of the Blackmoor line by adding “For too long the game industry has been mired in mediocrity, Blackmoor will burn a new path in creativity and ingenuity as it did when it served as the origin of role playing games.”

Dustin Clingman, co- founder of Zeitgeist Games commented on the announcement by saying “The return to Blackmoor is sure to be an exciting trek for veteran Role players as well as a new generation of players who are just beginning to see the kind of fun a traditional role-playing game can be.”

The Blackmoor line will begin with the world sourcebook for the d20 system and will be followed by a number of additional materials including modules and miniatures. Much of the original source material has been brought back including some of the more infamous villains of Blackmoor’s past.

People like John Tynes, Jonathan Tweet, and Robin Laws might have a little reason to be offended by that "mired in mediocrity" comment...
 

I don't want to sound negative at all but I've found that no matter how powerful nostalgia is, if the mechanics faill to back it up, it'll be worthless.

Please oh great gods of gaming insure that the authors have an editor worthy of the Prestige Class "D20 Mecahnic".
 

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but the nostalgia makes this totally SWEET for me. DA1, Blackmoor, remains for me the height of perfection as far as percent of and quality of fluff. No, I didn't like high-tech stuff. Yes, that was heavily-edited Arneson, but I've always been fascinated by Blackmoor.

This will be the first - and probably only - setting I will buy for the fluff.

D1?!? Blasphemer!

You gotta go check out the original Temple of the Frog in the Blackmoor supplement for OD&D. Now that is classic Arneson. Or the Judges Guild First Fantasy Campaign supplement (which is Dave's map of Blackmoor and his campaign notes).

Don't have the JG supplement (believe me, I have tried to get it) but do have the original Blackmoor book w/Temple of the Frog.

Still liked Adventures in Blackmoor better - but then, it was my first intro to Arneson's work.
