Bruce Heard also mentioned making a FR style sourcebook rather than reprints of the gazetteers as one of the things he had in mind when he was still involved in the process. Jeff Grubb's idea of pushing the timeline a few years further into the future also made sense. Wrath of the Immortals may not have been such a bad Mega-Adventure, but it doesnt really do a good job at setting up an interesting setting in its immediate aftermath. Grubb's ideas of emphasizing existing conflicts and building them up at the start of the boxed set era (like the Church War) would have helped make the Known World more interesting again, instead of basing alot of it on resloved conflicts from WotI. Having Clerical practices legaized in Glantri for instance is one of those things that make post WotI Glantri less interesting than it was 10 years earlier. I mean, whats more fun, playing a Cleric who is accepted, or one who works in secret to further his patron's cause in a country where he could risk being burned at the stake if the truth came out?I agree that the Almanacs were decent products, but there should have been many more products geared towards the players with new races, kits etc.For a 4e Mystara I would like to see it set a few decades into the future so new conflicts could be introduced, or in AC1000 keeping true to the Gazetteer era, but focusing on introducting more player options (races, feats) that build on the unique features of the setting, perhaps fully incorporating the retrofitted elements like Lupins, Rakasta, Air Ships etc.I think any new version of Mystara would cause some controversy among fans, but I would rather have high quality controversial products than vaguely uninteresting ones.Havard</blockquote>
