You can get it from lulu.com. Mr Boggs has written extensively about the pre-D&D work of Dave Arneson in Dragons at Dawn. FYI First Fantasy Campaign can be located floating around the net in pdf format.ghostofmarxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459993621982295715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-84154532570758745062012-07-09T22:07:18.409-07:002012-07-09T22:07:18.409-07:00@ Hedge: Totally agree with the "3E-isms;&quo...@ Hedge: Totally agree with the "3E-isms;" I find it hard to believe an old gamer like Arneson would actually have run his annual Blackmoor campaign with the 3E engine; my guess is the conversion was mainly the province of the other designers in the credits. Though I could well be wrong: Arneson was a game designer/tinkerer since long before I got into the hobby and he may well have converted his entire campaign world to the new system. I've been known to do similar things with other systems.<br /><br />@ Steamtunnel: Dude, you don't have to tell me...understand that I am a creature of great (and sluggish) inertia which often ends up biting me in the ass. I did eventually pick up said vitamins from Bartells, but by then it was too little, too late.<br /><br />@ IG: Yeah, I just heard about the First Fantasy Campaign a few days ago, but it's a hard one to get ahold of. I AM very interested in seeing it (since JG stuff didn't always adhere strictly to RAW), though my interest is more in Arneson's SYSTEM than his SETTING.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-32542452368482663902012-07-09T09:17:13.277-07:002012-07-09T09:17:13.277-07:00JB: not sure about the D20 Blackmoor stuff, but I&...JB: not sure about the D20 Blackmoor stuff, but I'm guessing you'd really be interested in Arneson's First Fantasy Campaign, released way back when by Judges Guild. It's kind of a nonsensical jumble of stuff, a la Arduin, but very interesting as an historical document.The Iron Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839364742884404019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-71231082497705580032012-07-09T09:04:19.441-07:002012-07-09T09:04:19.441-07:00Dude, how many times a week do you walk within 20 ...Dude, how many times a week do you walk within 20 yards of the Walgreens across from the Safeway? I think it goes Baranoff, Something, Pillagers Pub, Street, Wallgreens. Really, no excuse on the vitamins! Heck I live on the other side of 99 and we got us some Ibuprofrin there on Friday cause I was sick from Last Saturday, to pretty much this Saturday night. And I still kind of have a cough. Don't come to Greenwood folks- tis the plauge.Steamtunnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02597332921872904036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-49034951284066558482012-07-09T08:55:38.393-07:002012-07-09T08:55:38.393-07:00When my first kid was born, I was sick just about ...When my first kid was born, I was sick just about every other month. <br /><br />Anyway, I got this book back when it was released. Even though I was playing 3e at the time, the book had too many 3e-ism. By that point I just couldn't stomach the thought of pouring through yet another alternate class. As such I barely glanced through the book. I'd like to get hold of a copy of First Fantasy Campaign though as I'm very interested in how Arneson's early game worked compared to what got printed.Hedgehobbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606283586332210195noreply@blogger.com
