[QUOTE="Dahak, post: 154575, member: 784"] Umm for the last time... Hackmaster's Garweeze Wurld is NOT the Mystara setting. I guess another history lesson is in order. :rolleyes: Modules B1 & B2 (the Dungeons & Dragons versions) predate the Mystara Setting by nearly three years. "Mystara" (which wasn't even called that then) was introduced in the 1981 D&D Expert Set and Module X1, Isle of Dread. B1 and B2 were written at a time when Basic Dungeons & Dragons (the 78 version) was a lead in to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. Therefore any implied setting would have been the same world as modules G1, G2, etc. (i.e. Greyhawk/Oerth). When the Expert Set was revised in 1983, modules B1 and B2 were assigned a place in the D&D Known World. When the supermodule B1-9 was released, those adventures were rewritten for the Known World setting. Of course much later, the setting for B2 was used in AD&D 2nd Edition in a Greyhawk "Return to" module, and now has been redone as a Hackmaster module as well. So, modules B1 and B2 exist in three settings: Greyhawk, Mystara, and Garweeze Wurld, which is a testimony to the generic slant of the original batch of TSR modules. [/QUOTE]
