Echohawk — thanks for putting this wonderful guide together. While I've seen many over the years, this is the first that includes release months for almost every product. I find this especially useful, because I haven't been able to source the release months for many of the early D&D releases...

5 out of 5 rating for Calidar -- Dreams of Aerie Not just an adventure, but a sandbox mini-setting full of memorable characters, which can serve as a base to carry the PCs around the world after the adventure has run its course. There's enough here to keep the players busy for quite a while...

5 out of 5 rating for CC1 -- Calidar "Beyond the Skies" Beyond the Skies has turned out to be a treasure trove of information on all the nations of the Great Caldera, providing histories and a secret society for every nation as well as extensively detailing the pantheons and the gods...

CST1 Under the Vault was included in the first Kickstarter as a PDF. It contained sixteen short stories introducing the setting, as well as leading up to the main story of CAL1 In Stranger Skies. It also had a lexicon of Kragdûras (dwarvish), with Kragdûras-English and English-Kragdûras lists...

5 out of 5 rating for Calidar, In Stranger Skies The spiritual successor of the Voyage of the Princess Ark series and Mystara.

Hello. My name is Thorfinn Tait, and I'm the cartographer working for Bruce Heard on his World of Calidar project. Some of you may know me from my previous work in the Mystara community. I'd like to share some of my work-in-progress maps with you. First up is the central area of the world...

I'm at a loss as to how curved glass would make a phone better too. Clearly there are tons of things that it would be good in, but an iPhone? Why?

Oh, not more silly lawsuits. Hollywood accountants, you disappoint me again. Not that my expectations were high in the first place...

I find kids are really easy to shop for - it's the adults who are hard.

I agree with the point about mash-ups - in my (limited) experience, a lot of people enjoy mixing and matching their favourite parts from all sorts of sources/editions/games. That is also a defining factor of the OSR, isn't it?

As a fan of the old settings - Mystara in particular - we were based at the Wizards boards for a while. But around 2008, they suddenly and without warning decided to merge all of the Old Worlds boards into a single board - at which point Mystara community member Ashtagon created The Piazza, and...

The Kickstarter is live - and funded! It's on to the stretch goals now. If you have any interest in Calidar, please check it out at Bruce's link.

Sorry, that last post was about the story, of course.

I love all the little descriptive parts about Inner Draconia. Someday, I hope to have a lot of fun working out how on earth to map it.
