Blackmoor Dungeon in 3D
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 роки тому
Dave Arneson invented the dungeon delving concept. As such, his dungeon is the very first in history. Created in 1971 it had 10 levels, with sections of passages that went under the town of Blackmoor in the form of sewer tunnels. These are the solid black lines in the animation. It's difficult to explain how big dungeons can be, thus we created what may be the first 3D fly through of a D&D dung...

    Thanks to Secrets of Blackmoor, and a brief snippet Mr. Hoyt told at Davecon this year, it seems our fascinating hobby might've turned out quite different without Duane Jenkins' fun creativity! I grew up in Newport, RI, so funnily enough, we had the Barnabus Collins board game in the early 70s... And, I was just lucky enough to realize Duane whistles the Dark Shadows theme in his Blackmoor docu clip.

      Working on several fronts, some major, some minor. A minor item is adding a 50th Anniversary tag to places where Dungeon is preserved like Board Game Geek and Wiki pages. The major thing is a presentation at Gary Con next year of the history of Dungeon put on by Paul Stormberg, the proprietor of The Collector's Trove on EBAY. There might be something at Gen Con next year, but they are focused on D&D this year. Who knows? Thanks for your interest.

    Dave was awesome to game with and hang out with. I Met hin in the RIPSiG, Twincon era in the early 90s. He attended many of my game sessions, but I had no clue who the old guy was. When I found out,I fanboyed him until he told me that I should create my own game. I did in 92, and he approved "Ancient Steel " I ran off 100 copies at Kinkos, and sold them locally. He loved the rules system and said it was smooth. I sat on the game for years and did nothing with it until 2010. Today that system, is the core of My roleplaying games, by Roger Huntman.

    For years I never realized that there were gonzo elements (like robotic horses) in older D&D (I started with Red Box Basic.) Then I learned that there were futuristic and alien bits present in Blackmoor and the modules that were inspired by it. My younger self wanted my genres separate. Years later, I find it both cool and hysterical. Proto D&D was super gonzo at times!
