It's historical mishmash and there's a few people to get angry when you use real world proxies. I just want to see The Guild opened up for the settings they aren't going to use.I call it for the exploration setting because if you follow the suggested path line set out in the various books, it almost always ends up carve out a section of land and get a title of nobility. Then almost every nation has large amounts of unsettled and Untamed lands conveniently located for the players.You're going to have to address certain books because they have aged badly for a variety of reasons. The continuity is an Unholy Mess.  And Mystara got hit by the TSR nuke phase harder than most with the end of the Cold War vibe after wrath getting a lot of well-deserved criticism.  After they switched at the second edition they didn't know what to do with it.But I do think that they are under estimating the popularity. It is well-known because of the video game is also well-known abroad because of the foreign language translations which were much more numerous than first edition books.  TSR seriously mismanaged it in its dying days and the setting has never truly recovered</blockquote>
