Second Copy - Different Printing
From the web:
By Dave Arneson, co-author of Dungeons & Dragons. Two 17"x22" maps
(one for players, one for the Judge) showing wilderness around the
famous Blackmoor Castle, and a giant 64-page booklet detailing the
assorted baronies, citadels, leaders histories and development of the
original fantasy role-playing campaign, and the entire Blackmoor Dungeon
as judged by Arneson.
The maps are printed on high-quality brown
pebble-grain stock, designed to last a long time. Herein are many new
guidelines on lair generation, character interests and vocations
(hunting, farming, fishing, trapping, etc.), the resources and manpower
of the various feudal holdings and nomadic hordes of this landmark in
wargaming, and much more.
Carefully mapped are the twelve levels of
Blackmoor Dungeon beneath the five levels of Blackmoor Castle, the
village of Blackmoor, the home of Mello the Halfling, and the tower of
Svenson's Freehold.
This book describes various features of D&D co-creator Dave
Arneson's Blackmoor campaign, including locales, player characters, and a
(somewhat sketchy) overview of Castle Blackmoor itself.
Although fascinating for anyone with an interest in the history of
the RPG hobby (Arneson's Blackmoor game provided the impetus for Gygax's
development of the Dungeons and Dragons system), the First Fantasy
Campaign supplement is very loosely organized and may disappoint readers
who are hoping for a fully fleshed out campaign setting.
Because the FFC was published during a time of legal strife between
Gygax and Arneson, the supplement uses generic game terms and is not
considered an official Dungeons and Dragons product.
