GAZ14 -- Why Blackmoor?

[Finarvyn]

Okay, so this is probably a dumb question and I have a copy of GAZ14: The Atruaghin Clans Basic D&D module around somewhere, but why is it that GAZ14 shows up as a Blackmoor product when I do a search on e-bay?

The other GAZ products don't seem to show up, so there must be something in the description that triggers the search.

What am I missing?

That's odd. Can't think of any particular reason why this gazetteer should be associated all that strongly with Blackmoor. Most gazetteers reference Blackmoor, but Glantri, Shadowelves, Brokenlands, Alfheim and Ethengar are probably the gazzies with the strongest links to BM. Not so much the others.

No reason that I can see.

The early roots section in the DM's guide mention the GRoF, but nothing distinct survives from that period.

Maybe a seller typed "Blackmoor" as a keyword, and ebay doesn't know any different?

Glad to see that it wasn't just me.

The thing is, I've seen several of these pop up on Blackmoor searches, and I don't know that it's always the same seller. That is part of what puzzled me.

I have a similar thing happen when I search for "Amber Diceless" and a wargames magazine called "Panzerfaust" (or something like that) comes up as an Amber and Zelazny reference. I contacted the guy who does the magazine and he never heard of Amber Diceless. As best as I can determine, Troll & Toad has it in their listing and so for some reason other people have picked up on it but there isn't any Amber content inside.

Maybe GAZ14 is like that.
