He was kind and walked with me and told me a bit of Blackmoor's Egg of Coot and of Captain Harchar. He seemed like a very nice and creative guy and I'm glad to have met him.MtbDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308561716045085035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-39412014376982548322022-10-03T14:10:25.435-04:002022-10-03T14:10:25.435-04:00I wonder whether the exploits of Harchar mentioned...I wonder whether the exploits of Harchar mentioned in Flamesong came from actual game play.Bonnaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667671409170609819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-51276659811026242782022-10-02T07:35:04.879-04:002022-10-02T07:35:04.879-04:00Thank you, Dave!Thank you, Dave!Etrimynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412524174369676893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-63236805510036176302022-10-02T05:49:47.588-04:002022-10-02T05:49:47.588-04:00Well put, & thanks for articulating the point....Well put, & thanks for articulating the point.

The more I hear about Dave's game the more I feel that the relationship between Blackmoor and D&D is similar to that between D&D and solo gamebooks (eg Fighting Fantasy) or referee-less boardgames (eg Warhammer Quest) - all very good games but each a little more reductive and restrictive than its predecessor.Krhysdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584640780539225554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-19261874320065097042022-10-02T05:23:01.061-04:002022-10-02T05:23:01.061-04:00As a 13yo in the UK in the mid 80s it was hard to ...As a 13yo in the UK in the mid 80s it was hard to know what contribution Dave Arneson had made, despite the fact that his name was there in my 2nd-hand Moldvay Basic book.<br /><br />Coming back to the hobby in 2017, I was surprised to find out who this guy actually was and the extensive contribution he made.<br /><br />A cheer for Dave Arneson!Jacob72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268402292420473229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-65511926017457120712022-10-02T01:49:14.920-04:002022-10-02T01:49:14.920-04:00Happy Birthday, Mr. Arneson and thank you!Happy Birthday, Mr. Arneson and thank you!John E.
