Its a bit of extra work, but it would be handy if the class info were included when known....

Some more wild speculations:

Chuck Munson: Controlled Ramsgate. This is the missing fief of "the New Lands". This could mean Philo Hobytyn is based on him. If so, Ritchie simply changed the curse from Orange Mists to the curse Philo has.

David Megarry: Miklos Haruska? If Greg is right about Megarry playing a rogue then it could be. This would in effect have meant that Megarry controlled Vestfold?

Jim Abler: Tamis Azkanikin - The Green Man. He is an evil wizard.

Jim Laferrie: Jallapierre? Could Jallapierre's name be formed by the letter's in Jim's?

Malia Weinhagen: Alwyn Moreland? Moreland is a mage in DA1, but a bard in the D20 version. Malia is said to have played a Thief/Monk. Not too many female characters to choose from.

Ken Fletcher: Fletcher William? KF played a Ranger. Fletcher is grounds keeper at the university. The Fletcher name seems like too much of a coincidence not to be true?

Edit: Fixed Ken Fletcher's name after comment by Greg.

Hiya guys.
Nearly 40 years have passed. I had a couple of meals with David while he visited a con here in Seattle. I chided him on revising my name in Blackmoors last publication, but appreciated the sentiment. I helped create a game con Dragonflight that has run here for over 33 years.

I did not see Steve Rocheford listed (Temple of the Frog).

As noted in the Judge's Guild publication... released at GenCon Lake Geneva Playboy Club so long ago (10th GenCon?)... I held a post in the Duchy of Ten, however frequently I was mashed by the hordes.

Mr Monson, it is great to see you here! I was never quite clear on how to read the passage in the FFC detailing your fate in the Blackmoor game. Thank you so much for the clarification. The Ran of Ah Foo is listed as the ruler of the Duchy of Ten. Did he play a role in the game that you took part in or did he appear later? Did you see the Duchy of Ten as a typical medieval kingdom, or of some exotic, perhaps oriental culture? Who were the nomads of Ten?

I have lots of more questions that I want to ask you, but hopefully you will find time to answer these first
