Blackmoor is a supplementary rulebook (product designation TSR 2004) of the original edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game written by Dave Arneson (with a foreword by Gary Gygax).

Contents

Blackmoor is the second supplement to the original D&D rules, and includes rules for underwater adventures and hit location.Blackmoor also introduced the monk and assassin character classes.

The booklet was named after Dave Arneson's original role-playing campaign world, Blackmoor. It has additional rules, monsters, treasures, and included the first role-playing game adventure ever published, The Temple of the Frog. Despite the name, the supplement included almost no information on Arneson's version of the world.

Blackmoor added two new character classes to the game: the assassin, a sub-class of the thief; and the monk, a "monastic martial arts" sub-class of the cleric, intended to be a hybrid of the fighter and thief classes. The book also introduced a hit location system, wherein each individual body part of a character or monster was assigned its own hit points. The odds of hitting any specific body part changed depending on the character's height and weapon reach, and if any individual body part was brought down to zero hit points, the creature would be crippled or killed.

Supplement (publishing)

A supplement is a publication that has a role secondary to that of another preceding or concurrent publication.

A follow-on publication complements its predecessor, either by bringing it up to date (e.g. the Index Catalogue), or by otherwise enhancing the predecessor's coverage of a particular topic or subject matter, as in the Tosefta. Supplements are particularly used in gaming hobbies.

A newspaper supplement, often a weekly section of its parent, usually has a tabloid or Sunday magazine format and covers wide-ranging and less time-critical subjects, as in The American Weekly, the 2004 version of Life, and Parade. Newspaper supplements became common in France and Germany in the mid to late 19th century—they were called feuilleton in French. In Chinese, they are called fukan.

Advertising supplements periodically accompany corresponding newspapers and are prepared by the paper's advertising staff instead of its editorial staff. It is common for them to cover topics such as real estate and automobiles on behalf of the paper's frequent advertisers.
