Jakandor was indeed amazing.

I believe Savage Coast is considered an Odyssey setting - it is all online only, no actual book swere printed.

Not true. There were several Savage Coast books printed- aside from the Savage Coast stuff in Dragon (Voyage of the Princess Ark, where the setting originated), there were several products in the Red Steel line: Savage Baronies (a boxed set), Red Steel (boxed set), the Savage Coast Monstrous Compendium (trade paperback), and the Orc's Head Peninsula set (though to be honest, I don't recall whether Orc's Head got an actual printing or not).

They were still considered Odyssey products, as they were supposed to be self-contained campaigns that, while originating from Mystara, could be placed wherever the DM wanted, or run independent of any other campaign setting if they chose.

The Gates of Firestorm Peak, by the way, was not an Odyssey setting.

I'm afraid I disagree with Cthulhudrew. While the Red Steel boxed set and Savage Baronies were certainly products in the Red Steel line, they aren't labelled as Odyssey products and they aren't listed in the 1995 TSR Master Catalog as Odyssey products either.

I agree with this page of the TSR archive, which lists only the following Odyssey products:

• Tale of the Comet
• Jakandor, Island of War
• Jakandor, Isle of Destiny
• Jakandor, Land of Legend
• Savage Coast Campaign Book
• Savage Coast: Orc's Head
• Savage Coast Monstrous Compendium Appendix

Despite appearing in the 1996 TSR Catalog as intended print products, none of the last three ever saw print, and were released only on the TSR web site as RTF/TXT files and accompanying image files. I think Cthulhudrew is mistaken about a trade paperback release of the Monstrous Compendium.

Odd- for some reason, I thought the Odyssey and Red Steel lines were one and the same. Would have sworn I remembered Bruce talking about them in one of the Known World Grimoires, but I don't see the reference offhand. Darn memory...

I think Cthulhudrew is mistaken about a trade paperback release of the Monstrous Compendium.

Yeah- I was mixing it up with the Mystara Monstrous Compendium. D'OH!

3 settings? Amazing Engine got more support than that. I wonder why they dumped the idea so fast.
