[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8696077, member: 7026594"] Disagree. I think this is a categorical error. The Mentzer Expert set is a rules set with a couple of pages of example setting info. This is vastly different from a book or boxed set whose primary focus is detailing a specific setting. Which is what all of Ben's charts have been talking about, and the conversation we're having. I agree that 2-4 should all be included to get a Mystara total. I do not think it's reasonable to include any of the B/X or BECMI core sets toward that. The tiny amounts of setting info in there do not make those rules sets into setting books. I'm sympathetic to the idea of including the RC, though, since it's got a whole chapter on Mystara. I'd love to see more detailed and complete numbers too. Obviously if we want a full picture of, say, Dragonlance, we'd need sales numbers for the modules, as those were the core original way the setting was presented for the game, prior to the later hardcover Dragonlance Adventures book.
