[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9132662, member: 18182"] While Bruce is a stand up dude and designer, I have a hard time believing that the WotC folks were insulting to him. Depends on who specifically he talked to, I guess. Lawyer vs designer, perhaps? Mystara continued as a D&D setting long after Gary was ousted from TSR, although it was of course eventually canceled. I also have a hard time believing Mystara got the axe due to any association with Gygax and his friends at TSR. We've had revivals of just about every setting over the years except for Mystara, including Greyhawk. Personally, I grew up on Mystara and have a lot of love for it. But it's the least popular of the settings and has a lot of problematic aspects to it. It's hard to revive without significant reinvention. For those fans who continue to love the setting, hopefully WotC will just open it up on the DM's Guild sooner rather than later, although I won't hold my breath. [/QUOTE]
