 RPGnet: Review of Dave Arneson's Blackmoor: The Redwood Scar
Blackmoor, as you may or may not know, was the first fantasy setting for a RPG, developed by the co-creator of DandD, Dave Arneson, while he was creating DandD (or perhaps a bit before that).
In fact, I don't own any of the Blackmoor books, not even the newest one, though I did play through one of the 80s DandD adventures, the Temple of the Frog one, and flipped through the Judge's Guild version (though that was 20 years ago, so I don't remember much).
As mentioned, while nominally set in Blackmoor, it can be used pretty much anywhere with only changing the names of the type of elves, so if you are in the need for a module, it's worth picking up.
