Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whizbang Dustyboots" data-source="post: 9095974" data-attributes="member: 11760">re: MystaraI'm a big Mystara fan from way back when (my contributions to the old MML and the Vaults of Pandius are still among the top results when I vanity Google myself). But there is zero chance anyone would republish the Hollow World or Savage Coast or large parts of the Voyages of the Princess Ark today, since they would have to be rewritten from scratch to not be an absolute trash fire for how various cultures and real world peoples are treated.It's weird to me that everyone takes it as an article of faith that Dark Sun -- in which the slavers are the bad guys -- can't ever be revisited, but tons of people keep pushing for WotC to publish a setting that is explicitly a zoo created by immortals that they've stocked with real-life peoples of color.If they ever revisit Mystara, which I would bet against, it'll be Karameikos, Glantri or maaaaybe Darokin or the Five Shires. And they will absolutely be retconning the heck out of everything beyond their borders and probably a few things inside the borders, too. (Karameikos has a forward-thinking-for-its-time plot about indigenous humanoids being displaced by human settlers that will need to be handled like a live hand grenade.)They will be a lot better off just mouthing some nice platitudes about the setting and leaving it in the same vault as Jakandor.</blockquote>
