Hope you find it worth reading and want to supply me with some good idea!

Yours,

Sep 21, 2005 9:48:10 I've never played in Blackmoor before (and hopefully someday that will change) but it seems you have a good campaign set out before you. As for suggestions, I don't really have any, but I think with a good base plan like you have you will find all kinds of interesting additions as you guys play and the campaign develops its own personality.

I hope my campaign will be half as good as you say.

For BM, I absolutely recommend you to glimpse at the setting, if you're a bit into d20. The newly released books, while not perfect, are very interesting. Check Havards site for some more info.

I don't really play that setting in connection with th Mystara timeline, but from what I've heard, it fits perfectly. Seems that Mystara is having a comeback through the backdoor...

I have a few of the old DA modules that take place in Blackmoor, and naturally I've seen Havard's website, but I haven't had the chance to check out the new d20 Blackmoor books yet. I've heard they are quite good.

Sep 21, 2005 14:17:40 Compared to the old modules, the new DABM is definitely better, if you ask me.

It's a pretty default heroic fantasy setting with a strongly medieval background, but I was searching for something fresh in that genre for a while, and so it came to serve me marvellously.

And since the line seems to go very well, FFC fans as well as Mystarans like you can look for a lot of new, fresh and high-quality stuff!

Sep 22, 2005 2:38:48 :D A revamp of the City of Gods? - Maybe... But from what understand up to date, the big metaplot explores new terrain:

I think it will be very plausible that we see the lich lord again who caused Philo so many problems... The only in-print adventures up to date deal with an undead conspiracy, and a cabal of wizards somehow involved... Sounds really good, my gaming group is hungerung for the supposed sequels...

Sep 22, 2005 3:39:23 There's an adventure set in the Blackmoor region (of Greyhawk - no doubt) in Dungeon 126. It's called the Clockwork Fortress. It's actually a sequel to an adventure in Dungeon 115.

IIRC it doesn't go into any detail about Blackmoor though - it's just on the map

Regards,
Gary

I shoudl read the PAizo mags more frequently... Maybe I'll buy this issues... But first find out if it's compatible... ;) Thank you for the hint!

What do you think of the adventure? - Worth spending money for?

I think so. Here's the blurb

The Clockwork Fortress
by Wolfang Baur
A mechanical man discovers his ancestral fortress has fallen to a lunatic derro, but something worse than mad derro haunts the Clockwork Fortress' gears. A D&D adventure for 8th-level characters.

You can get a web enhancement here which incldes a map of the area.

Regards,
Gary
