Likewise for the characters of Rob Kuntz, David Megarry Greg Svenson  and others among the early developers and players of D&D.</p><p>Perhaps surprisingly though, finding a player character sheet by D&D's co-creator Dave Arneson is not an easy exercise. Sure you can find NPC's and pre-gens Mr Arneson rolled up, but that's about it.</p><p>I'm not saying there aren't any which have yet to see the light of day, but at present none are publicly available or even privately circulated to my knowledge. Except maybe one.</p><p> Boot Hill has a list of Fictional Non-Player Characters and their stats. In the second edition (1979) the character creators are anonymous, but by the third edition player names had been attributed to each, and the character of Ben Cartwheel, Rancher is attributed to Arneson.</p><p> Here are the stats:</p><p>  Ben Cartwheel (Dave Arneson)</p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoTableGrid" style="border-collapse: collapse;

We also don't know if he actually played the character. I asked David Megarry, who also has a character attributed to him in Boot Hill, and he said that, at least in his case, he didn't remember making the character and thought maybe Brian Blume had made it for him.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">All I can say for certain is that this Ben Cartwheel character was attributed to Arneson and may or may not have been made by him. The name is certainly right in Arneson's wheelhouse, so I think the odds are good that it really was Arneson's player character. In any case, unless you are familiar with Boot Hill the stats probably don't mean much to you, but if you are like me, you immediately wonder if they will convert to D&D. Luckily there is a conversion guide published in the 1e AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Most of the stats don't in fact convert to anythin in D&D because they are derived from Speed (spd) and Bravery. Per the AD&D conversion guide we are told the Strength score stays the same and a method is given for converting Speed (spd) into Dexterity. We also are told to determine the character level by adding 2 to the EXP score and that Rancher would translate to a Fighter. The DMG suggests the Bravery scores can be derived from the wisdom score when converting an AD&D character to Boot Hill but not the reverse - there is no D&D Bravery equivalent. However Arneson's Bravery score is quite high in Boot Hill - the near equivalent of rolling a 17 on 3d6 - and I think we should convert the Bravery score to something, but Wisdom is probably not the best choice - perhaps Constitution or maybe Charisma. Lets go with Constitution for now and see what we have so far for Ben Cartwheel D&D Fighter:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoTableGrid" style="border-collapse: collapse;

AD&D suggests the player simply roll for these. That’s a bit of a problem now, but we could potentially steal these score from an NPC Arneson had already created, preferably of similar class and level. Such an NPC can be found in the Pregens he rolled up for the Origins convention in 1977. In fact there is a character that lines up well  - #5, a tenth level lord with the following Stats: Str: 14 Int: 12 Wis: 13 Con: 16  Dex: 12 Chr: 17</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Conveniently, this character matches exactly Ben Cartwheel's Strength and Dexterity scores, so this is a good match to fill in the blanks. We could translate the Bravery score of 17 to Charisma, but I like the idea of swapping the stats and giving Ben a 16 Charisma and 17 Constitution so Ben is a little less of a clone of character #5. Also, one of the roles of Bravery in Boot Hill is giving the character a "steady hand" in a gunfight, and that seems more in line with Constitution to me. Here is the result:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Ben Cartwheel                                                                       Level  12 Fighter, Hit Points 60                                                    Str: 14 Int: 12 Wis: 13 Con: 17  Dex: 12 Chr: 16                   </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-infso'> <p class='post-info'><span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-stats-of-dave-arneson-player.html#comment-form' onclick=''>1 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1823242297'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3138202318040749770&postID=2231411040862933519&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' src='http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></p> </div> </div> <div class='post-titlsse'> <a name='546985205369182219'></a> <div class='post-title'> <h2> <a href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/2024/12/who-made-blackmoor-history-of-setting.html'>Who Made Blackmoor?

Blackmoor foundations shows the eastern half of this map on page 32.</p><p>1c) Planned Blackmoor (1971) - For this earliest phase of Blackmoor we primarily have the March '71 letter to Rob Kuntz briefly describing the setting and a couple maps from the Fletcher collection shown on pages 12 and 14 of Blackmoor Foundations.</p><p>Altogether this gives us the following places:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"> - Region of Keston/Keiston</p><p style="text-align: left;">- Region of Williamsfort (centered on the town we now know as Blackmoor - the name is re-located later)</p><p style="text-align: left;">- Region of Jenkinsland</p><p style="text-align: left;">- Region of Swampland/Swampwood </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;">- Land/City of the Red Coven (northwest)</p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"> - Land of the Skandaharians (north off map) </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;">- Region/Forest of the Eraks (east)</p><p style="text-align: left;">- Region of the Picts (west)</p><p style="text-align: left;">- Region of the Palatinate (Great Kingdom?) (southeast)</p></blockquote><p>2) Played Blackmoor (1972 - 1976)</p><p>After Arneson sent in the initial letter describing Blackmoor, Gary Gygax became the first person to monkey with Arneson's vision for the setting. He made a single change that greatly impacted the geography and development.</p><p>Arneson intended Blackmoor to reflect the geopositioning of the Netherlands, with oceans to the west. As such he located Blackmoor on the Far Ocean (Dramidje) in or near to the area that would become Ekbir on the map of the world of Greyhawk.  However, Gygax decided to move it eastward, closer to the Great Kingdom in an area known as the Great Bay. </p><p>This change flipped the coastline so that the ocean was now in the east. To accommodate this change Arneson drew a new map, frequently known as "the sketch map" of which we now have several similar versions (Foundations: pp 8 - 10).</p><p>It was also at this time that the isometric map seems to have been produced, probably to accompany the Return to Black Moors story. (Foundations 24 - 29)</p><p>From these sources we can add the following places and features.</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>- City of Maus</p><p>- Town of Blackmoor</p><p>- Town of Glendower</p><p>- Great Swamp of Mil</p><p>- Black Marsh</p><p>- Loch Gloomen/Lake Gloomey</p><p>-  Frog town/island</p><p>- Forest of the Elves (formerly Eraks)</p><p>- Bramwald</p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">- Regent of the Mines </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>- Wizard Mountains</p><p>- Witchwood Mountains</p><p>- Glomma River</p><p>- Arafasta gorge</p><p>- Lake of the Heavens</p><p>- Peshwan</p><p>- Region of Hyth</p><p>- North Watch Tower</p><p>- Wizards Wood</p><p>- Temple of Id</p><p>- Tower of Tears/Booh</p><p>- City of Tonisborg</p><p>- Sage's Tower</p><p>- Black Hills</p><p>- Dragon Hills</p><p>- Town of Tillburgh</p><p>- Duchy of Ten Heroes</p><p>- Duchy of the Peaks</p><p>- City of the Gods</p><p>- City of Father Dragon</p><p>- Desert (southwest)</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>3) Wilderlands Blackmoor (1977)</p><p>When Arneson left TSR he struck a deal with Bob Bledsaw to pull Blackmoor into Beldsaw's Wilderlands setting.</p><p>For this Arneson scrapped the "Sketch Map" version of Blackmoor and went back to his original, Holland based map, with one exception: he kept the orientation of the ocean to the east. Bledsaw then produced a new version of the map which formed the basis of every map since.</p><p>Only a few geographic features were added at this point. These are:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p>- Barrier Swamp</p><p>- The Stormkiller Mountains (as yet un-named however)</p><p>- The Peaks of Booh (as yet un-named however)</p><p>- The Haven Peaks (as yet un-named however)</p><p>- The Valley of the Ancients </p></blockquote><p>This last place is a location on the Wilderlands Map, not a Blackmoor place per se, but it is where Blackmoor was tacked on to the Wilderlands map and served as a replacement for the "Desert" area of Blackmoor where the City of the Gods was located.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>4) Blackmoor Chronicles Blackmoor</p><p>The Blackmoor Chronicles materials refers to the maps and manuscript prepared by Arneson and his Adventure Games Inc. staff for planned publication initially, then later for publication by Mayfair games, then later again for TSR. This also includes Garbage Pits of Despair  published in Different worlds magazine.</p><p>Unfortunately, our resources from this era have serious gaps. For example we have a writeup Arneson prepared for the character of Robert the Bald which formed the basis - much altered - of what is seen in DA1. Arneson wrote an unknown number of these, but I have only seen this one, because Robert Meyer saved the letter Arneson sent him with the write-up in it. Anyway from the Blackmoor Chronicles material we have:</p><p>- Powers Pass</p><p>- Keep of Robert the Bald</p><p>- Desert of the Gods</p><p>- Stonebrook</p><p>- Feinstein</p><p>- Dinsbury</p><p>I'd also bet that Kenville was in some of this material, but I haven't seen any proof. I'm betting it was because it shows up as a location on earlier maps but has no name, and I presume it to have been named for artist Ken Fletcher. The same might be true of the city of Eraks, and a few other places like Starmorgan and Starport - maybe.</p><p><br /></p><p>5) TSR Blackmoor (1986 - 1989)</p><p>Now we come to the shocker. Notice that up until this point I have provided a few short lists, but I'm not even going to try to make a list for this iteration of Blackmoor. That's because it would consist of a hundred or more entries. David Ritchie was given the job of fleshing out the setting and that is exactly what he did. It is not an exaggeration to say the Ritchie added hundreds of names. Not only did he provide names for every and any geographic feature, but many places were given new "improved" names too.</p><p>These arn't just little villages or mountains either.  Many of the familiar and iconic places in Blackmoor show up in TSR material for the first time ever and appear to have been invented by Ritchie, including Jackport, Octagern, Kerman Peaks, Thonia, Karsh, Misauga river, Boggy Bottom, the Redwood Forest, Ringlo Hall, etc. </p><p>In fact by far the majority of places on the map were named and added during this era. Truthfully the TSR version of Blackmoor was its own setting, quite distinct from the Twin Cities Blackmoor. </p><p>6) Zeitgeist Blackmoor</p><p>Arneson certainly had the opportunity to make changes to the setting when He and Dustin Klingman published Blackmoor setting books again under Zeitgeist. However the decision was made to not throw out the established TSR material, but rather to tweak it at the edges so as not to divide the fan base. As such Zeitgeist added nothing of consequence to the map. A few new locations, such as Croc's Nest, do show up, but these are generally minor towns, etc. A dozen or so more places are also mentioned in the semi-canon MMRPG material, but again, these are not mapped locations.</p><p>So there you have it. Geographically and politically as it is known by most people today, Blackmoor is largely a creation of TSR, but several others have had their hand in it too, over the years and eras.</p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-infso'> <p class='post-info'><span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/2024/12/who-made-blackmoor-history-of-setting.html#comment-form' onclick=''>2 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1823242297'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3138202318040749770&postID=546985205369182219&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' src='http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></p> </div> </div> <div class='post-titlsse'> <a name='6427717371962215962'></a> <div class='post-title'> <h2> <a href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-mystery-of-first-blackmoor-map.html'>The Mystery of the First Blackmoor Map</a> </h2> Author: DHBoggs / Labels: <a href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/search/label/Blackmoor%20Origins' rel='tag'>Blackmoor Origins</a>, <a href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/search/label/Greyhawk' rel='tag'>Greyhawk</a>, <a href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/search/label/Maps' rel='tag'>Maps</a>, <a href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/search/label/Western%20Oerik' rel='tag'>Western Oerik</a> </div> <div class='post-entry'> <p><p> In this <a href="https://boggswood.blogspot.com/2021/05/how-big-is-blackmoor.html">POST</a> from a few years ago, I was concerned with the issue of scale and distance in Blackmoor in the course of which I attempted to determine the intended scale of the "original Northern Marches" - the March 1971 map of Blackmoor - by fitting it onto a map of the Netherlands. For those unaware, the reason for doing so is that in the FFC, Arneson said his Blackmoor map was modeled on a map of Holland. Of course, there have been several attempts by different folks over the years, trying to figure out how Blackmoor might fit on a map of the Netherlands. For the most part it was assumed, by me certainly and I think others, that Arneson's "old Dutch map" on which he based his map of Blackmoor was a 19th or 18th century one.</p><p>It was purely on a whim, mostly because I wanted an accurate scalebar, that I choose to look for an older 20th century example to use instead, and so I settled on a colorful Rand McNally Atlas map of the Netherlands from the 1930's.</p><p>I now think this map I had more or less stumbled on is the very map that Arneson actually used, and I have come to this conclusion in the light of new material from the Fletcher collection.</p><p>There were several outstanding maps among the material Ken Fletcher had collected and handed over to Griff Morgan at last years Arnecon, now published in the <i>Blackmoor Foundations</i> book.</p><p>Two of these in particular caught my eye, as being truly Foundational.  I wasn't sure if these two maps on separate sheets, one vertical and one landscape in orientation, were part of the same drawing or would go together but shortly after I mentioned they might be related (and that one of the maps had been scanned upside down, the other sideways) Michael Calleia   <a href="http://chanceand.com/">http://chanceand.com/</a>  demonstrated not only were they related but they fit together seamlessly, like this:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbDYCYEr2yu-ET9tSo5z07-99aoC5R-g96A-Kp9GK5APWgUScbDwbur5kA3R5XQIa2GAWPrsX_WHHDMPg3aaA8tqNIi3jxvvBneJeOI2vCmq54LPQ2HVlfQmcWyVqI4MnmNKwCA5dpsXyvpIZXH7uQX8AbJOrpHk3IbafnOot9T-vgFO7fMmPPxY5n1BI/s550/Screenshot%202024-08-23%20201406.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="388" data-original-width="550" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbDYCYEr2yu-ET9tSo5z07-99aoC5R-g96A-Kp9GK5APWgUScbDwbur5kA3R5XQIa2GAWPrsX_WHHDMPg3aaA8tqNIi3jxvvBneJeOI2vCmq54LPQ2HVlfQmcWyVqI4MnmNKwCA5dpsXyvpIZXH7uQX8AbJOrpHk3IbafnOot9T-vgFO7fMmPPxY5n1BI/s320/Screenshot%202024-08-23%20201406.png" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>What you are looking at is, almost certainly, the original "proto Blackmoor" map. For the rest of this post I will refer to this map as the "Ur" map for convenience. Of course, this isn't a Blackmoor map at all, but a map of central Holland, drawn by Arneson, most likely on a light table or using a projector or some such.  You would be forgiven if you don't see an immediate resemblance to Blackmoor as you know it, especially considering how "busy" the Arneson map is.  However if you look closely you can clearly see Glendower peninsula with it's funny little finger of land at the northern tip, and that curving western coastline noticeable in Arneson's March of 1971 Blackmoor map but turned to dry land in all later versions. To show you what I mean, here is the same map superimposed on the Rand McNally Netherlands map.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJctdFtSnz4Tt8_ApfWHDDN5GCWZjVVtBod02_cFlys6WJVYYq2k6-tQbPqq2Db-tVJHn0WgCAzCExrnE2a9fC4LyBJyad3O3ePNjeAij3u14YlOne1YhCpyK_iqccFSAnb_Qd0a2HUgyJqYjdnjVMdcZ6bP3XH83DNQj60SJVIwFrtpz0IeF-0Z5Szy4/s495/Screenshot%202024-08-23%20202346.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="481" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJctdFtSnz4Tt8_ApfWHDDN5GCWZjVVtBod02_cFlys6WJVYYq2k6-tQbPqq2Db-tVJHn0WgCAzCExrnE2a9fC4LyBJyad3O3ePNjeAij3u14YlOne1YhCpyK_iqccFSAnb_Qd0a2HUgyJqYjdnjVMdcZ6bP3XH83DNQj60SJVIwFrtpz0IeF-0Z5Szy4/s320/Screenshot%202024-08-23%20202346.png" width="311" /></a></div><br /><p>And here it is again ghosted:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiP_4cDufBJGAGpUY3AYCfbuWHczLHEtotQUDI32Yzo51894lGQaE-TCdsjZHCdBTfS4tsLEp2Z2hqQsHxIvsImBsYShxez0izZoBdxErEDHcoQxC1pIiuE15qIK4Yxs0wX8cPmk56SplnmcPLHb3Et66kBnRMChHBe8GKcATqyeToScSmQZYrCGaKn6M/s494/Screenshot%202024-08-23%20202758.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiP_4cDufBJGAGpUY3AYCfbuWHczLHEtotQUDI32Yzo51894lGQaE-TCdsjZHCdBTfS4tsLEp2Z2hqQsHxIvsImBsYShxez0izZoBdxErEDHcoQxC1pIiuE15qIK4Yxs0wX8cPmk56SplnmcPLHb3Et66kBnRMChHBe8GKcATqyeToScSmQZYrCGaKn6M/s320/Screenshot%202024-08-23%20202758.png" width="311" /></a></div><br /><p>And here it is with the March 1971 "Northern Marches" map of Blackmoor, that heretofore was our oldest know map (note I colored in the water on this version to add clarity):</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomSIkxKaSDucS1UXAsvHT9qQMa2QojO-zELRwRaQT5Ho92oMlzOyrhH2FyK5qviocfQGj6JtkQVCv3ohi-iZfeLOuN2UVYrXp8c1dc2nVrB43LRYPp78FwK2h28kzNhhM03Zga9Ap3OO9WuhyphenhyphenNbrHh7A4mVzFL_2ZXKyUKoMp9KfNAnGgrxJ7MMmPCpI/s476/Screenshot%202024-08-24%20075740.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="295" data-original-width="476" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiomSIkxKaSDucS1UXAsvHT9qQMa2QojO-zELRwRaQT5Ho92oMlzOyrhH2FyK5qviocfQGj6JtkQVCv3ohi-iZfeLOuN2UVYrXp8c1dc2nVrB43LRYPp78FwK2h28kzNhhM03Zga9Ap3OO9WuhyphenhyphenNbrHh7A4mVzFL_2ZXKyUKoMp9KfNAnGgrxJ7MMmPCpI/s320/Screenshot%202024-08-24%20075740.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>I don't know why the "Ur" map was created. Arneson's Corner of the Table Top newsletter does mention a planned Napoleonics campaign in the Netherlands and it seems quite possible that is what the map was originally made for, before becoming repurposed as a basis for Blackmoor, but at this point I'm only speculating. If that were the case it seems a bit odd to use a twentieth century map for an early nineteenth century campaign, but maybe that was all Arneson had access to and perhaps the inaccuracies seen here and there, the occasional odd line, and the non-matching settlements are a result of imperfect tracing conditions compensated for with creative license. In any case, what this series of map images hopefully demonstrates is that the "Ur map" was traced off of the Rand McNally map, and the 1971 Northern Marches map was then traced off of a portion of that. The Rand McNally map is sure to be the model as can be seen most clearly in the Markermeer/Ljssemeer / Blackmoor Bay region of the Ur map.</p><p>Note in particular the red outlined areas with red diagonal lines marked NE, and NW in what is now the Ljssemeer lake region of the Netherlands. These lined areas only appear on Rand McNally maps and I have only found it on maps in atlases with print dates ranging from 1936 to 1941. The one I used was dated 1937.  The red slashed areas represent a land reclamation project begun in 1932, never fully completed and later changed, so you won't see these areas marked on earlier maps at all or in the same shape on later maps of the Netherlands.</p><p>However, looking at the Ur map, we see that Arneson traced the red diagonal area marked NE nearly exactly as if it were land:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZLBL3Jq-xXfROxkOleRQDb4hf7Q9Is91UCcUrvnCRz_6Wb8YED8zlFEK8OeK2zIisQfJF6-qCYhLLsr1IfhyphenhyphenXjwKvKTUKLucopqLYERhHBdFXsHZudXOLd3dMhcdJEkOATNjCq1MG0ZOZNj-aHg02Uxovd9gZu8Y6akdE5RHuN-2f43Be8EYOUWsznw/s670/Screenshot%202024-08-24%20072109.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="372" data-original-width="670" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZLBL3Jq-xXfROxkOleRQDb4hf7Q9Is91UCcUrvnCRz_6Wb8YED8zlFEK8OeK2zIisQfJF6-qCYhLLsr1IfhyphenhyphenXjwKvKTUKLucopqLYERhHBdFXsHZudXOLd3dMhcdJEkOATNjCq1MG0ZOZNj-aHg02Uxovd9gZu8Y6akdE5RHuN-2f43Be8EYOUWsznw/s320/Screenshot%202024-08-24%20072109.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Identifying these maps is a breakthrough, but only a start.  I notice for example, that many of the roads, rivers and borders in the Rand McNally map line up with lines on the Ur map that could be roads or rivers, but many of the other features such as lakes, forests, mountains and swamp seem to be filled in by Arneson without much regard for the real topography of the Netherlands. Settlements also seem to have been placed by Arneson without regard to the location of actual Ducth towns.</p><p>One humorous exception I noted is that there is a city marked on Blackmoor maps at the corresponding location of Amsterdam on the Netherlands map, and that city is none other than the Coots Nest of the Egg of Coot! </p><p>We are only scratching the surface here, but for this post I want to bring in one more observation of particular interest to Greyhawk fans. One the many fascinating bits of information Jon Peterson related in the <i>Dungeons & Dragons - the Making of Original D&D 1970-1977</i> book sprang to mind as I looked at this map of Blackmoor on Holland. On page 18 Jon offhandedly mentioned that "Arneson was allocated the Northern Marches; he originally planned for this realm to occupy the northwest corner of the map below the Far Ocean, but Gygax placed it at the innermost cove of the Great Bay instead." </p><p>According to Rob Kuntz, who was in charge of the newsletter at the time, Arneson was involved with preparing the images due to Gary Gygax having lost access to the necessary equipment. In this case he would have had the opportunity to pick his spot before the map was published. If one looks at the Great Kingdom map and at the Blackmoor map it is easy to see what Arneson was thinking.  Here is the "official" map as it appeared in the Domesday book Newsletter in 1971:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg8wqH8OdMQmZHAGTta6gJ7inABnZE_dQ0tL4Nt2rVlqpqIGTF9DsbQ9iJ7M6Uj9ppOVK5KopfPDZpO_n-BG9UPvL6HdoOwbC8wHAYbGO-j8qOXOK9w7FNbgRXemjzTYb3CSslWReq2h5E1bcoqJjMTun60hdhHJURuzb5r-9DiIZuqqQdn0YFkAgAvTM/s895/DB9%20Great%20Kingdom%20Map.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="895" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg8wqH8OdMQmZHAGTta6gJ7inABnZE_dQ0tL4Nt2rVlqpqIGTF9DsbQ9iJ7M6Uj9ppOVK5KopfPDZpO_n-BG9UPvL6HdoOwbC8wHAYbGO-j8qOXOK9w7FNbgRXemjzTYb3CSslWReq2h5E1bcoqJjMTun60hdhHJURuzb5r-9DiIZuqqQdn0YFkAgAvTM/s320/DB9%20Great%20Kingdom%20Map.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>In fact, we can drop the Netherlands map right into that section like so.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EfSJo3Hyd4gK_j9Hl6eS8empz76f7XM0RaisQVeRL4nr_jVOj3HrKXtLPIh_-5EutthxCcF6_3oT2Y7Kaq3NFHzhvwQDY4Fg6zp__f5UfN1nWoScr5Pg_DxHvh_x5mCLfC7QdRkSpCYqfyh_4z5J8tt_xNWQ24rstuBWdU4fxNeItQiQA-G18_X4uPk/s712/Screenshot%202024-08-26%20192736.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="712" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EfSJo3Hyd4gK_j9Hl6eS8empz76f7XM0RaisQVeRL4nr_jVOj3HrKXtLPIh_-5EutthxCcF6_3oT2Y7Kaq3NFHzhvwQDY4Fg6zp__f5UfN1nWoScr5Pg_DxHvh_x5mCLfC7QdRkSpCYqfyh_4z5J8tt_xNWQ24rstuBWdU4fxNeItQiQA-G18_X4uPk/s320/Screenshot%202024-08-26%20192736.png" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p>In place ghosted:<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76Xeo6_Ky0BHJd4B6-KSYixaFc8rLW6PJKuSEvKJvuu2sNSceQGzIvCqFt2bVsK-ddVsfQrc_4s6lVLVLq050Wdl1cPmBROqIEjk4xeqvmbvOeaFE_ci9poqgLnyUE1ZPtAKnA1K95L3R-26AMEyPmgTETBy0nIJv9f0vt70Ll5sWuGvtUxXO4wpA6ks/s731/Screenshot%202024-08-26%20190838.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="731" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76Xeo6_Ky0BHJd4B6-KSYixaFc8rLW6PJKuSEvKJvuu2sNSceQGzIvCqFt2bVsK-ddVsfQrc_4s6lVLVLq050Wdl1cPmBROqIEjk4xeqvmbvOeaFE_ci9poqgLnyUE1ZPtAKnA1K95L3R-26AMEyPmgTETBy0nIJv9f0vt70Ll5sWuGvtUxXO4wpA6ks/s320/Screenshot%202024-08-26%20190838.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><p>That region of the Greyhawk map is now occupied by Ekbir.

We are NOT told the hull point value of these ship.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">One might think you could go to OD&D and look that up, but you'd be wrong. Firstly most of the ships (not all) listed in OD&D are different from those in the FFC, but worse, the OD&D rules don't give hull point values either.  </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In the 3lbb's, almost as an afterthought under the Missiles heading of the Naval section (Vol III:28-30) is this:</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Large ships have from 18-24 points of possible damage before sinking, small ships have from 9-15, and a boat but 3 points. "</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">So if we wanted to use the other ships in the FFC in a game, or you really just wanted to get more specific with the OD&D ship types, or you are adding a new type of your own, what hull points should a given ship have?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Initially I thought this would be an obvious calculation. In the price list, Arneson tells us that ten logs cost 1 gold piece.  Knowing the costs of the ships already and that 600 logs = 1 hull point should allow us to calculate the hull points, right?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Nope.  Not at all.  To begin, it is unclear if that log cost is for green, aged, or seasoned logs, which will affect how long it takes to build the ship and how many can be built in a year, which must exceed at least 24 points. Regardless of that problem the math doesn't work out for the Hull Point ranges we were expecting from OD&D.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the FFC ship prices range from 5000gp to 40000 gp. For example, in the FFC a Longboat cost 24,000 gp.  Theoretically then at a cost of 1gp per ten logs it should take 2400 logs.  At 1 hull point per 600 logs that is a measly 4 hull points!  Cheaper ships, like a small Galley have even less.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Okay we have to assume the log price was for cheap lumber and firewood - not the quality logs needed for ships.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Luckily, Arneson gave us another clue.  In the pricelist a simple boat only costs 400 gp and in parentheses "(120 logs)".  Bingo. That gives us the cost conversion figure we need.  If 120 logs = 400gp expense, then 600 logs = 2000 gp worth of ship cost. (600/120 = 5; 5 x 400 = 2000).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Going back to our Longship at a cost of 24,000 gp, it will have a hull point value of 12 and that makes way more sense.  The most expensive ship in the FFC, a large galley at 40000 gp has 20 hull points.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now, this system does require an awful lot of logs to build a ship, way more than is historically accurate, but we can assume that "log cost" is also factoring in other construction expenses and isn't a true log count.  I'm not sure many Gamemasters are going to be tracking logs and forests etc. anyway, but if you were to do that, I'd recommend dividing by a factor of 10 ("600 logs" equals 60 actual logs). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In any case it is now possible to calculate the cost of any given ship by its hull points, or conversely to calculate the OD&D hull points of a ship by its cost.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1 Hull Point = 2000 gp. </span></p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-infso'> <p class='post-info'><span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/2024/07/arnesons-ships-shipbuilding-and-hull.html#comment-form' onclick=''>1 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1823242297'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3138202318040749770&postID=6538901580408331839&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' src='http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></p> </div> </div> <div class='post-titlsse'> <a name='8147930248439674458'></a> <div class='post-title'> <h2> <a href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/2024/07/is-making-of-original-dungeons-and.html'>Is The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons 1970 - 1977 worth getting?</a> </h2> Author: DHBoggs / </div> <div class='post-entry'> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Released as part of Wizards of the Coast's promotion of the 50th anniversary of the publishing of D&D, <i>The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons 1970 - 1977</i> has hit the shelves and begun arriving in pre-ordered copies.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I have heard a number of folks express reservations because of the price or the content, and thought it might be worthwhile to lend my thoughts to the matter since I have the book.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The answer to the question of worth for you, is going to depend on your expectations and your interests.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">If you were expecting a glossy corporate history prepared without the involvement of any actual Historians, lionizing the corporate founding father while giving the obligatory acknowledgements of modern social progress, you will find expectations met.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">If you were expecting a book brimming with early documents, both published and previously unpublished, and with succinct but often thought provoking commentary you will also find your expectations met.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">In other words, the book is meeting everyone's expectations.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I'll expand on the critique first. <i>The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons</i> is not a scholarly work, but it is a work for the scholarly minded, both amateur and professional, to pour through and ponder over. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">True, the book exposes no cracks in the usual Pater Families image of Gary Gygax and also true Arneson is presented in accord with the usual grubby-handed lout trope. It is best to keep in mind the long-standing "Papa Gygax" and gollum-like Arneson narratives are well suited to the story Hasbro wants to tell about the past of its popular property. There should be no surprise that <i>The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons </i><span>doesn't challenge these tropes</span><i> </i>in what is essentially a coffee table book, not meant to ask probing questions.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">For example, a brief letter from Arneson to Scott Rich published in <i>Great Plains Game Player's Newsletter #9</i> is mentioned but unfortunately not included. In this 2 paragraph letter Areneson covers only two things - Dungeon stocking and Hit Point generation - that he had wanted done differently in D&D and failed to convey to Gygax convincingly, but the commentary overdraws the un-shown letter as an example of Arneson lacking any interest in supporting D&D - an odd conclusion given that he was running public demos of the game shortly after publication. The loutish Arneson trope perhaps comes through more strongly in the noticeably unbalanced treatment found in the section on Supplement II Blackmoor. The commentary strings together hearsay from persons notably unkindly disposed toward the man with the singular rebuttal that one of these assertions *might* be "uncharitable". The commentary also raises the expectation that of a copy marked by Gygax with notations will inform who the true author was. The choice to present this particular marked version in this 50th anniversary book is itself interesting (and appreciated, frankly), but in looking at the actual text we see only a few sections in the first 13 pages are so marked, and the new information to be gleaned there, is that apparently both Rob and Terry Kuntz contributed some of the monsters, seemingly some of those we formerly presumed were Steve Marsh's.  As we learn from a new-to me quote from Steve Marsh that many of his submitted monsters were missing or "simplified". </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The earliest texts are not presented in chronological order, but rather in groups. This choice of materials and the order in which they are presented strongly insinuates the primacy of the Gygaxian chain of creation, from writing about Dragons to the production of CHAINMAIL, but we do get a decent amount of Blackmoor material interrupting the chain, some of it very hard to come by, and the commentary here is interesting. I could continue with examples of the Gygax as Pater Families trope, but I'm not interested in beating this horse and I think you got the point. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Regardless of the implications of the selected content and order, it is material that is great to see in its original and all collected together. While I have tossed out a fair bit of criticism, including that of reductionist tropes found in the commentary, in fact one of the beauties of this book are the little nuggets here and there in the text of information not widely known. Jon Peterson, the principal author of the text, has access to a wealth of written material, some of it very closely guarded, and his commentary often reflects the deep knowledge he has of the extant documentation.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">It is inevitable that researchers will have differing perspectives on past events and people - that's not a reason to avoid discussion, and in this case, not a reason for avoiding this book. There is a great deal of information, and ideas and I certainly don't want to leave the impression that it's all flawed - far from it - and it is all important data.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Anyone interested in the growth of the game is going to find a treasure trove, both in the rare and wonderful (to quote Smaug) documents printed, and in the contextual information presented in the commentary.  I suppose what I'm saying is that <i>The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons 1970 - 1977 </i>if treated as a<i> Resource and not a Bible</i> is wonderful.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">And speaking of wonderful, let me say a few things about the physical book. I don't know what may have been foreshadowed concerning the book because I only watched the one WotC video, but I have to say the quality of the book was a really pleasant surprise. The first surprise upon pulling off the shrink wrap was to discover a flyer over the back cover that has on its reverse a full size reprint of an original blank OD&D character sheet - sweet!  The book is thick and heavy due to the use of heavyweight semi-gloss paper. The layout is crisp and easy to read. It is smith-sewn and separated by pleasantly muted edge coloring into five sections, which are also divided by four colored ribbons - again sweet!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Jon Peterson is to be greatly thanked for the very existence of this book. I believe it was his idea from the start, and he certainly worked closely with Hasbro to make it a reality.  Regardless of what I might have liked to have seen done differently, <i>The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons</i> is a fantastic work full of ur documents long sought after by those interested in understanding the development of the game.  </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons 1970 - 1977 </i>guides the reader to also investigate <i>The First Fantasy Campaign</i> booklet published by Judges Guild in 1977. Of course I agree, but</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">would insist that anyone purchasing </span><i style="font-size: large;">The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons</i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">should also acquire </span><i style="font-size: large;"><b>Blackmoor Foundations</b></i><span style="font-size: large;"> as a necessary companion book. Having both will give one a much more complete and rounded understanding of the early days of the game. I might also humbly suggest, less insistently, </span><i style="font-size: large;">The Lost Dungeons of Tonisborg</i><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">So there you have it. Hopefully I have conveyed a frank but insightful critique of a book I generally think is a must-have. I should mention that my name does appear in the book, and in <i>Blackmoor Foundations</i> just as well, should that influence your purchasing decision at all, but I did not have any communication or opportunities to review <i>The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons 1970 - 1977 </i>prior to publication. YMMV.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-infso'> <p class='post-info'><span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/2024/07/is-making-of-original-dungeons-and.html#comment-form' onclick=''>4 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1823242297'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3138202318040749770&postID=8147930248439674458&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' src='http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </p> <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></p> </div> </div>  </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-older-link'> <a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2024-07-01T07:17:00-04:00' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Posts'>Older Posts</a> </span> </div> <div class='clear'></div> <div class='blog-feeds'> <div class='feed-links'> Subscribe to: <a class='feed-link' href='http://boggswood.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Posts (Atom)</a> </div> </div> </div><div class='widget Profile' data-version='1' id='Profile1'> <h2>About Me</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02170439175265397893'><img alt='My photo' class='profile-img' height='67' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSODR6UAfK7DhMEUm4bX6UEviRjIPq_K6NnmkWf1lpKkBddwEpT9UOH3ZQYJ6BoH7dCFELMoLxXrBZtHHL6B7LY3nUHzgb0omY4ngL6jJ1YIYysAdR6AOotK6Xh2JTA/s113/me2017.jpg' width='80'/></a> <dl class='profile-datablock'> <dt class='profile-data'> <a class='profile-name-link g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02170439175265397893' rel='author' style='background-image: url(//www.blogger.com/img/logo-16.png);'> DHBoggs </a> </dt> <dd class='profile-textblock'>Game Archaeologist/Anthropologist, Scholar, Historic Preservation Analyst, and a rural American father of three.</dd> </dl> <a class='profile-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02170439175265397893' rel='author'>View my complete profile</a> <div class='clear'></div> </div> </div><div class='widget Attribution' data-version='1' id='Attribution1'> <div class='widget-content' style='text-align: center;'> Powered by <a href='https://www.blogger.com' target='_blank'>Blogger</a>. </div> <div class='clear'></div> </div><div class='widget Navbar' data-version='1' id='Navbar1'><script type="text/javascript"> function setAttributeOnload(object, attribute, val) { if(window.addEventListener) { window.addEventListener('load', function(){ object[attribute] = val;
