[QUOTE="Estlor, post: 5593734, member: 7261"] If you're looking for a list of, "These are the must-have products for anyone wanting to make a collection of world products for Mystara," then my recommendations are the Gazetteers for Karameikos, Darokin, and Glantri and the Dawn of the Empires (Alphatia and Thyatis) boxed set. That gives you a lot of territory and plot space to operate within. If you care to set your campaign later than AC 1000, then the Poor Wizard's Almanac series is definitely what you want. Back in '08 I DMed a short-lived campaign in Karameikos during the GAZ era. It was kind of a "get Bargle" theme that relied heavily on the In Search of Adventure compilation of the basic modules as the story driver. We didn't quite get to Bargle; the PCs fought and killed Zanzer Tem, who [I]appeared[/I] to be the wizard causing all the problems, but discovered he was just one of Bargle's apprentices. We took a break and never really got back to it. The biggest problem was no one else in the group cut their teeth on BECMI so they didn't have much of a vested interest in the setting. I'm contemplating going back to it when the current campaign ends and doing a Essentials-only, old school campaign so they focus less on what feats and powers they want and more on learning about the setting.
