[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 6526740, member: 6688277"] [B]1. [/B]Mystara provides an extremely rich and beautiful tapestry of a setting including its geography, history, races, people, languages, religions, cultures and personalities which when applied within a campaign makes it fairly distinct from other D&D settings. [B]2. [/B]Besides becoming a knight/noble and/or landowner, Mystara allows one to explore setting-specific goals: (1) Becoming a GrandMaster of one of the Secret Schools of Magic in Glantri (2) Attaining Immortality with the assistance of an Immortal willing to sponsor you (3) Rising to the caste of Merchant Prince of Minrothad (4) Realising the Dream of Al-Kalim for Ylari (5) Finding the Blue Knife and uniting the Humanoid Tribes of the Known World (6+) so many more... [B] 3. [/B]The F.S.S. Beagle, The Nucleus of Spheres, The Radiance, Old Ones, The Immortals, Radiance Receptacles, Black Flame, Wrath of the Immortals, the War Machine, Merchant/Bargaining Rules, Rules for Naval Battles, Humanoid Campaign, Lycanthopic Characters (Night Howlers)...etc [B] 4. [/B]Expansions of the Known World - Undersea (the life beneath the Sea of Dread), Red Steel/Savage Coast, Serraine (a flying Gnomish City), Hollow World and even the fan based project for Mystara 2300 BC And the support structure is still there even after it was dropped as a setting around 20 years ago (the below are all free): [B]Vaults of Pandius[/B] - an online website which is updated regularly and maintained by fans across the world [B]Threshold Magazine[/B] - an ongoing collection of articles expanding on the mythos of Mystara [B]thePiazza.org.uk[/B] - a forum such as Enworld where fans of Mystara congregate and can share ideas [B]GazF series [/B]- 10 fan-made gazetteers with maps on additional areas in the World of Mystara, and these then do not include fan-made gazetteers on smaller areas like the Mini Gaz1 The Central Altan Tepes [B]Codex Immortalis I & II[/B] - Fan-made gazetteers on everything you would need to know of the religions & cults and the Immortals of Mystara. [B]Maps[/B] - thanks to the efforts of Thofinn Tait one can have top quality maps of the Known World and beyond. [B]Newbie Guide to Mystara[/B] - fan-made summary of all the Gazetteers. [/QUOTE]
