[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9467755, member: 7029930"] Yes and I'd say by far. [LIST] [*]The setting alone is comprised of a large variety of cultural people each with vastly different histories and political allegiances with one another. [*]There is a dark history where magical experimentation was done on specific races. [*]Forbidden races, forbidden classes with different punishments for each. [*]Notable NPC Undead, Lupins, Dragons and an Immortal exist within the setting. [*]The capital features an immensely detailed writeup of a Venice-like setting with canals + gondolas with magic on full display in the day to day lives of the common folk [*]It's a magocracy with a caste system for those with lesser skills in the art. [*]Highly political setting with all the pros and cons [*]Pages and pages of guilds and societies to explore and utilise [*]7 Secret Crafts of Magic that overlay the Wizard class or Elf (BECM) [*]A detailed magical test in order to graduate (reminiscent of Raistlin in the Tower of High Sorcery) [*]Surrounded by foreign enemy nations [*]The setting boasts the Nucleus of Spheres, the Radiance etc which storyline has the ability to wipe out ALL magic in the world (i.e. affecting all gazetteers, all magical creatures etc) [*]It possesses an active Immortal NPC [*]It introduces a philosophy rather than a religion [/LIST] ...etc There is just so much more to explore here than any of the other Gazetteers (except perhaps Alphatia/Thyatis but those boast immense land masses and people). It's written well, fleshing out a lot of detail, dripping with love from its creator. It shows. Honestly if you're a fan of Mystara this is a MUST get. [/QUOTE]
