No, Hour of the Dragon is an original Howard, one of the first and one of the best. But, it is not as bad as it might sound... Hadrathus, the priest of Asura, provides Conan with no direct magical aid. Asuran priests are more concerned with unveiling and dealing with illusion and falsehood, and...

Player's Guide to the Wilderlands Now Out The Player's Guide to the Wilderlands should be hitting stores this week. Check out some previews on the Judges Guild site: www.judgesguild.com

Sounds intriguing! You will definitely have to let us all know how it goes... The HackWurld will be presented as of 1000 AC, the time from from the Gazetteers, before the Wrath of the Immortals. It will use both. Exactly how, however, will be a surprise... Feel free to use them a mix and...

While there is indeed a country named "Blackmoor" in Greyhawk, it is not the same "Blackmoor" that was designed and used by Dave Arneson. Gygax included the "Archbarony of Blackmoor" as a tribute to the campaign of Mr. Arneson. James

Can you say: "Teenage Ochalean Tortle Monks"? I knew you could! Mmmm... Tortles! Tortles, Lupins, Rakasta... all will be there! Though the Red Steel setting will be a "sideline region" (dealt with in passing, not in detail) these races will be included in the HM. Provided I actually have the room.

Indeed, the DA series Blackmoor was quite playable. I only wish we had seen more on Thonia and the other nearby regions. With the map being 24 miles per hex at that scale, the portion of Blackmoor that was detailed was equal to only 1/9th of that of Greyhawk, or rather, slightly less, as the GH...

Blackmoor, Greyhawk, and Mystara Originally, when first published in the "First Fantasy Campaign" (published in 1980, the same year the World of Greyhawk Gazetteer was released) Blackmoor was set in the City State world of Judges Guild. The City State maps were 5 miles her hex; thus, the...

Oy! Canon versus non-Canon. We have had so many arguments about Canon on the Mystara Mailing List since, well, day one of the list it isn't even funny. More bandwidth ahs been spent on that than anything. Let me just say that the Hacklopedia Mystarica will be Canon for the HackMaster version of...

Hacklopedia Mystarica will rock! Then again, I may be biased... I'm James Mishler, the guy writing the Hacklopedia Mystarica. I've played in Mystara since Day One, when it first was revealed in the Red Box Basic Set/Blue Box Expert Set. I've followed it through all its permutations and...

The Kalamar Quest you are thinking of would be KA2 "In Too Deep," by Brian Jelke (K&C109), published in 2000. Actually, the first appearance of the D10,000 table in a KenzerCo product (and thus, anywhere, AFAIK,) was in RB1, "Secret Temple of Adajy," by many KenzerCo folks, published in 1997...

War of the Gods I think the outside image should depict a scene from the War of the Gods, perhaps the final battle where the Overlord was about to get whacked. Show the Overlord about to get stomped by the Knight of the Gods and the Old Man, with the Confuser of Ways and the Creator of Strife...

The 2E Historical Reference Campaign Sourcebook "The Crusades" provides a lot of good information on this setting. Also, Robert E. Howard (of Conan fame) wrote a number of short stories set in the Crusades era, collected in "The Sowers of Thunder" collection... can't play in the era without...

Long before anyone ever heard of Harry Potter there was a D&D (as in, Original Dungeons & Dragons) setting called Mystara. Back before it was even known as Mystara, when it was simply The Known World, a Gazetteer was published, a certain GAZ 3: The Principalities of Glantri, by Bruce Heard...
