[QUOTE="oknazevad, post: 7763305, member: 6778182"] There's three versions of Blackmoor. Arneson's full, standalone version was last seen as a third-party published 4e setting book. Arneson licensed back the rights and teamed with a company called Zeitgeist Games to produce a 3e version, and later a 4e version as the last thing he worked on before passing away. Those are actually available on the full DriveThruRPG site, but not the DMsGuild storefront for it. There was also the version published as a four-part "DA" module series by TSR for Basic D&D, which officially made that version of Blackmoor the ancient, pre-cataclysm era of Mystara. That series of modules is available through the DMsGuild. Lastly there's the region of Blackmoor in the northern part of the Flanness on Oerth, in the Greyhawk setting. That was really just a shoutout to the "other campaign" as it were in the earliest days of the games development. After all, it was a somewhat distant, cold, wintry land. Just as Minnesota (Arneson's home) appears to the rest of the Midwest, including Wisconsin, where Gygax lived. Jakondor was a strange little mini setting that was released during the late 2e era, consisting only of a trio of books detailing a setting consisting of an island continent where there's a continuous conflict between a wizard society and an alliance of barbarian tribes. Jeff Grubb apparently created the concept circa 1994, though it wasn't published for a couple more years. WOTC definitely owns it now. [/QUOTE]
