It was very seperate from the English-speaking rpg world for a long time, so no mention in WD that I know of.

I've got a pretty good collection of the 3rd and 4th edition source books and boxes (far from complete though), but I was always just a collector and no contributor to this. Personally I'm actually much more involved in the English-speaking rpg scene than the German one.

Das Schwarze Auge was created when TSR wanted to high licensing fees for a German-version of D&D back in 1984 and became THE German rpg because they were backed by a major German boardgame company (Schmidt Spiele). It's been dominating the German rpg (with ups and downs of course) ever since.

It's game world "Aventurien" has a continuing official history since at least the late 80s, and as a consequence is the most detailed fantasy world that I know of. The amount of available (not not-available-anymore) content is just staggering.

Map of the "Blautann" - a forest famous for its witches and mythical beasts, from the German rpg "Das Schwarze Auge". It will feature prominently in next weekends rpg retreat with friends from high school. :)

Yesterday's map, slightly cleaned up.

Only 13? ;)
