>Now there was a campaign!!!  I've bought every Blackmoor thing I could lay
my 
hands on;  the original D&D supplement, Dave Arneson's First Fantasy
Campaign 
by Judges Guild and the reworked Expert D&D modules based on that material 
(the DA series I believe).  Those are the only modules I didn't sell (other

than Expedition to the Barrier Peaks).  Blackmoor is a huge inspiration to 
me.  I think that was as close to "true originality" (whatever that is) the

genre ever got.  The image of the Egg figures very strongly in my campaign 
background; there are a multiplicity of eggs, both symbolic and otherwise, 
woven in.  Of course this leads me to the one obvious question, never 
answered in any of the Blackmoor material I ever had access to, what in
hell 
was The Egg of Coot actually or rather what was it supposed to be
originally? 
 If you or anyone else actually knows I am totally dying to find out.  I
had 
thought that perhaps it was the sentient core of some abandoned AI
"computer" 
but I never really knew.  Can anyone help??

Sorry to stray so far off the TFT subject,

Not at all, I think TFT is kind of the embodiment of that kind of
orignality and fun. It seems very appropriate to a geezer list like this
one!

Another campaign you might like was from the Dungeoneer's Compendium issues
1-6. Each of the magazines had an adventure that the compendium wove
together to a truly unique campaign.

I dont know what the Egg of Coot is, but I'll bet I know someone that
does......
