2020 - The Year of Blackmoor - 50th Anniversary - Day Thirty-Nine

Celebrating 2020 - The Year of Blackmoor - 50th Anniversary!

Here is a wonderful Blackmoor site courtesy of the Internet Archive. A lot of links work and sadly some others do not. But those that do work are fantastic.

Blackmoor Home of the Ancients

Ye Olde Comeback Inn

There are lots of resources on this page, one is the Gazetteer of Blackmoor v2.3. Of which the author says:

I (David Ross) "wrote" the gazetteer... in a very, very technical sense. My aim was to clarify what was really the work of Dave Arneson (1970-1987) and, to a much lesser extent, Dave Ritchie (1986-7); I saw my role as an editor. This ZIP has 13 files (12 RTF's, one XLS) of the history and geography of the world's oldest Role-Playing fantasy world. You will still need the DA series in order to play; there are no warez'ed maps or modules here.

The download link for this does work.
