Aren't the lands of Blackmoor in Greyhawk supposed to be THE Lands of Blackmoor?

I don't think so. The original Blackmoor was a standalone setting, as I understand it (i.e., Blackmoor was Dave's house setting, as Greyhawk was Gary's). There was a region of Greyhawk later named Blackmoor but it was never detailed and, given that Arneson's Blackmoor went on to be explicitly tied to The Known World/Mystara, I consider it unlikely that they were one and the same.

I think there should be more of it today

I don't.

 

[Plane Sailing]

I don't.

Please try to avoid pointless contrary posts like this one.

If you are glad that it doesn't happen now, you should either make a thoughtful post describing the reasons why you are glad it isn't prevalent now, or keep quiet.

Thanks.

I used to agree with you Jhaelen, but now that I DM a fair amount OD&D these days, I'd tend to disagree.

It's weird. I really dislike this kind of thing in my AD&D, but I'm all about the Sci-Fantasy in my OD&D and BD&D.

Greyhawk doesn't have much in the way of high technology save for in Expedition and White Plum Mountain

Was that from the obscure AD&D Candyland supplement?

Hear, hear.

D&D's at its best when it's a little bit weird.

Best served with generous portions of Clark Ashton Smith and Erol Otus.
