Oh boy - this has the same cover art from the print cover of my Weird Enclave of Blackmoor: a guidebook for Gryehawk? The content pdf is hosted here on Canonfire in the Mysterious Places section.

I wrote up a blog post on the topic I thought I should share here. Spoiler, I put it on the Gulf of Ghayar. It's a good fit and really the only place it can go imho. Here is the link

So I don't know - but I wonder if we aren't about to find out.

Not too long ago "Bob the World Builder" released a Youtube video called "The VECNA Conspiracy of D&D 5.5e" in which he pointed o ...

Imagine the Baklunish building a military fort on its border. ... A tent city becomes a shanty town. More fortifications are added. Shrines to Fharlanghn are erected. The shanty town becomes a t ...

Well, keep in mind that in the Fals Gap it would have been right in the path of the Oeridian migrations, and very likely would have become a majority Oeridian city at that point, regardless of who fou ...

Wow, fascinating and confusing.

I think to make sense of all that a timeline is needed. When did Gaxxmoor disappear?

Its also a little confusing where that background comes from - but it appear ...

Here is a quote from Gary Gygax on the location of Gaxmoor in the Flanaess:

Rel Devan - or really anything in the south east-ish Flanaess.

is a really great suggestion! I think it fits really well there. Sterich does seem to have a similar Eastern Europe vibe as the adven ...

The Peak of the Nightlord is an adventure in "The Slayers Guide to Undead" by Gary Gygax and Jon Creffield.

I'm looking for ideas on where in the Flanaess would be a good place to put it so that th ...

Thanks Jason and Rasgon!

Anybody know the text source for the Relentless Horde? Nothing online has any citations and I can't tell fandom from canon.

Just came across this quote from Gary on the location of Gaxmoor in the Flanaess:

"I believe that the best place for the area to be is somewhere on the borderlands of the Great Kingdom, exact locat ...

Oh! Gaxmoor. Surely that should be on the map?

Interesting take, and not too far from what I do, though of course I also incorporate much of Dave Arneson's material as backstory. One thing to keep in mind is that Blackmoor is not heavily populate ...

Didn't know Mike Carr has a new adventure coming out. That's super awesome!

That's very useful. I would point out though that Greyhawk Adventures uses a clone of Classic D&D rules not OD&D (original 1974) rules.

Thanks for the shout-out to my blog Twiceborn. Smile

I would point out that the TSR Blackmoor adventure Temple of the Frog is already on the map. City of the Gods isn't though, and should be. ( ...

On the location of B1, I see it was placed in the Pale, and that is one of the three locations possible mentioned in the module, (Ratik, The Pale, Tehn) but it really makes the le ...

Near the Adri forest.

Okay, but there is no powerful elven presence there nor much in the way of a confederation of orcs. You could create such things but it's already in place in Elredd - easier ...

Maybe, but not sure where you have in mind. It would have to be a human dominant place, but also close to substantial and longstanding groups of elves and orcs.

Terrific. If I were to wish for something (and I realize it is greedy of me) it would be to have a function that would allow you to click on the adventure Icon somewhere and get a short summary of wh ...

The problem with setting it in the Pomarj is that the adventure is near to a sleepy, and very human fishing village (Awad) that wouldn't exist as described in the Pomarj, but I agree that the general ...

I love this. Its Awesome.

I didn't see B1 In Search of the Unknown - suggested to be in Tehn or the Pale or Ratik, but I think Just about everybody prefers Ratik.
