Dave Arneson Game Day 2021 is Tomorrow! (Blackmoor Week 2021 Thursday)

 


We  are almost there! More than 50 years ago, Dave Arneson posted his original announcement of the first Blackmoor Game, featuring a poker game under a troll's bridge.  Our friends at the Antipodean D20 have already started celebrating, but that's because they are in Australia, and apparently that means they are living in the future! Of course, we have been doing Blackmoor Week all week this year as usual. Tomorrow, Dave Arneson would have been 74 years old. Like many other game designers and prominent gamers, we lost him much too soon. 


After his passing in 2008, people started celebrating Dave Arneson Game Day. We also have Gary Gygax Game Day of course, but two days to celebrate our hobby is twice as good as having one. Since 2015 we started coordinating some of the activities for this day over at The Comeback Inn. 


While you wait for the big day tomorrow, here are some of the highlights from last year's Dave Arneson Game day, including instructions on how to get the freebies that were released last year. 


Are you ready for the big day tomorrow? Do you have any plans? Anything in gaming counts, as long as you keep Dave Arneson's spirit of focusing on having fun and enjoying the game tomorrow!

Would Arneson Have Liked You to Try New Editions? (Blackmoor Week Monday)

Image
Today, rumours which have since been debunked , circulated that a new edition of D&D were in the works . This made me think about the edition wars. Back in the early 2000s, much of the activity in D&D forums was about young gamers trash talking early editions and older gamers bashing D&D 3E which was the new edition of the day. Looking back, this was a huge waste of time for everyone and a completely pointless activity.  Some people are still engaging in this activity, but it hardly gets the kind of reaction it got back then, so its either juts ignored or left in some echo chamber groups where people just agree with each other's grumpiness, but soon get bored even of that. If you once "fought in the edition wars", I hope that you think back to those days with embarassment and do not wear it like a badge. Its not.  I am nothing special when it comes to RPGs, but I have been playing since the 80s. I have played every edition of D&D and a wide range of other

Dave Arneson Game Day 2021

  Today is Dave Arneson Game Day! As usual we celebrate this day on Dave's birthday, October 1st as a celebration of Dave's legacy as the D&D co-creator. This year, Dave would have turned 74 years old. This also marks 50 years since the official announcement of Blackmoor! Its been great seeing people joining in for Blackmoor Week. Every year it has been an amazing celebration of gaming, like it has been every year since we started doing this. I hope that Dave is sitting on a cloud somewhere and that this makes him smile. I met Dave only once and exchanged a few messages with him later on. But my impression from those interactions and from what others who knew him better have told me, is that what was most important to him was that we all had fun with the game he helped create.  For a long time, Dave Arneson was just a name to me that I saw on the credits of various D&D products I had collected. When I began talking to people online, especially in old school circles I fo

Classic Blackmoor Fan Maps Revisited at the Atlas of Mystara Website (Blackmoor Week Wednesday)

Image
  My friend Thorfinn Tait has become an incredible talent when it comes to fantasy game maps. Perhaps best known for his design and cartography work on Bruce Heard's Calidar Setting, Thorfinn is a long time Mystara fan whose D&D maps can be found on the Atlas of Mystara website and his patreon page .  Recently, he has also begun a series exploring the history of fan maps. The project mostly focuses on Mystara maps, but as part of this year's Blackmoor Week, today's map is an early fan map of Blackmoor created by the excellent Thibault Sarlaat. Thibault was a real pioneer in D&D fan digital map making and produced a large collection of digital maps in the early 2000s. Check out the full version of his Blackmoor map here .  Many other fan maps of Blackmoor have been created over the years. Many of them are available on my website, the Blackmoor Archives. -Havard
