I don't know if it's a "must have," due to its scarcity and expense. You could do well without it, but if you find a copy at a price you are willing to pay, grab it. Thank you, for the advice. Is there any pdf being sold yet? |

Is there any pdf being sold yet? Sold? No. A websearch will reveal to you a fan made copy of the 1980 print of the FFC that most folks have. Legally the FFC is probably in a bit of a limbo as the rights to the publication itself belonged to Arneson and presumably is now the property of his heirs. However the names and places are trademarks of Wotc. Arneson had no issues with with the free distribution of the FFC pdf, so you need not be concerned on that front should you seek it out. The 1980 reprint is pretty good for the most part, though the print is smaller, and there are a handful of places where sentences or other info are dropped and a couple typos. |

For me, the FFC is inspiration of how we played back in the day (in case I forget). Sometimes I get caught up in modern-day campaigns and want to shift my mind back to a more simplistic time, and the FFC is perfect for that. I'm not sure that there is a single specific thing that I use, but more like the feel of the book and of the setting.

I just get inspired by reading through it, as it is a snapshot of things in the Blackmoor campaign and it gives you a sense of how a campaign can progress through time. It also IMO is a good read for players as it can open their minds to the possibilities on their end of things. |

Just borrowing ideas and inspiration. Same. I expect to borrow more ideas from it but have a backlog of gaming books from which I'm drawing inspiration. I need more time! >< |
