It is possible that the Blacklocks were among the "''Houses of other Fathers''" who sent troops to help [[Durin's folk]] in the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]].<ref>{{App|A3}}</ref>

'''1982-97: ''[[Middle-earth Role Playing]]'':'''
: The unnamed Dwarven tribes were given invented names in an early supplement.<ref>{{ICE|8004}}</ref> While these were published before the publication of Tolkien's late note on the name of the Dwarven houses of the East, it has been suggested that the Blacklocks could correspond to '''Drúin's Tribe''' (as portrayed in ''[[Middle-earth Role Playing|MERP]]'').<ref>[[Thomas Morwinsky]], "A Brief History of the Dwarven Mansions", in ''[[Other Minds]]'' issue 4 (July 2008)</ref>

'''2002-5: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game]]'':'''
: The House corresponding to the Blacklocks is called '''Var's Folk''', said to wander the lands of the East and South. Their beards are "''black as coal and thick as wire, often left tangled ad unkempt''".<ref>{{D|M}}</ref>
