Bob and I grew up in Excelsior, Minnesota and played games together before we ever met Dave Arneson and got involved in Blackmoor. We have been e-mailing to get back in touch with each other and our lives, since we made contact here. The last time we were actually together was at my wedding in 1976.
I think that we are going to move our discussion about the original Blackmoor campaign to the Zeigeist Games MMRPG website as that seems to be the most appropriate place for the discussion, even if the web site has bugs...

 Yeah, leave me all alone here! My Jedi powers are much bigger than yours anyway... 
This site here of course is not a competence to the original BM board - more like a small little brother... |

 Thank you! I'll do my best to create enough trouble to make this site worth visiting!  |

Been looking over at that thread on the other forum. I love reading about the history and the early days of Blackmoor. From what I've read and heard over the years, I get the feeling Dave doesn't get nearly the credit he desrves for his roll in getting the ball rolling. That's not to start anything, but just an observation. I read at one time that Dave had put together a documentary about the early days of the RPG called Dragon's In The Basement. Sounds like something that would be a must buy if it were ever released.

I have strong opinions on this myself, but I don't want to start a flame war with anyone from the Gygax/TSR camp. Dave isn't allowed to talk about it as a result of the settlements from the various lawsuits with TSR over the last 30 years.

Yes, Dave put a lot of time and money into preparing Dragons in the Basement. He was hoping to get it run on PBS, Discovery or the Sci-Fi channel to cover the production costs. I will try to ask him what happened to it next time I see him.
I saw a pre-release version of it when I was visiting the Twin Cities sometime back in the mid 90's. He had interviews with most of the original players. He tried to arrange an interview with me for it but because I don't live in the Twin Cities, it never happened.

I heard that there was a viewing of it at Gencon a couple years back. I'd love to see PBS air it. If this were to ever be available for purchase online or in store, I doubt I'd be the only person in line to buy a copy.
