BW art, Blackmoor, Dave Arenson’s campaign from before OD&D, Hidden in Shadows blog

Blackmoor, the “real” Blackmoor.

B&W art time 25:20, get it.

Definitely an evil mage of some sort. Gotta use in ours one day. 

Is that lizardman mid left? Interesting, I like these not quite pro drawings. 

AZmountaineer's vid on Blackmoor part 1 is very good, Dave Arneson stuff, he let them publish via Judge's Guild in the 1970s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1_RJ59BlgU&t=483s&pp=0gcJCU0KAYcqIYzv

Monster Locations, Interesting

  • Earth elementals in swamps? Interesting, why not, doesn't need to be rock. 
  • Baslisks (not basAlisks) are kinda all over. Spelling =  Copyright worries?
  • Giants only in one spot
  • Rocs
  • Trolls
  • Lyc. = lycanthrope I guess
  • WRights? Very common, but wRights? Is that similar to a Wight? Copyright worries?
