Chainmail

The article incorrectly states that Chainmail rules were used in the Blackmoor campaign. Players from that game explicitly state that the system they used was not derived from Chainmail in the 2019 documentary, Secrets of Blackmoor. I’m not familiar enough with wiki rules the make the edit or citation myself, but I wanted to bring that to the attention of the next editor to work on this page. Hutton 01:59 7 August 2021 (EST)

First Fantasy Campaign

Should there be an inclusion of Arneson's pseudo supplement/outline of Blackmoor that Judges Guild published back in the day? I believe it contains material that still hasn't been re-presented in any other source. 65.27.14.162 05:35, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit tag

I noticed the copyedit tag on this article, and I'm wondering why? Perhaps I'm just missing subtle things, but I'm not seeing any blatent mistakes in spelling or grammar, and the article seems to be clearly worded and understandable, even for someone without a D&D background (like me). I'm tempted to remove the copyedit tag, but I could be missing something so I'll leave it for now. If someone could explain why this article needs copyediting though, it would be helpful to others.

Looks like this particular tag has gone now, but I have noticed a number of people who tag articles as problematic without actually bothering to state the problem on the talk page. While I have to assume they are acting in good faith, they are not making it easy for people to verify their claim that an article is faulty. (Very often the person who identifies a problem could probably fix it in less time it takes another editor to guess what an unexplained tag means.) I would say that if a tag looks wrong and there is no explanation for it, that you should just go ahead and remove it. Just add a polite comment on the talk page asking for someone to explain themselves if they want to put it back. Big Mac (talk) 19:12, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article woefully out of date...

4th edition has come and gone, and still no fresh word on the status of Blackmoor? Can someone with current information update? --75.186.75.4 (talk) 00:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is the status? Can you find a reliable source that is reporting on it? 50.141.204.194 (talk) 01:44, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
