[QUOTE="Talaysen, post: 28592, member: 340"] Ummm...are you aware of the fact that Mystara has an official fan site, comparable to "Secrets of the Kargatane" (which handled that setting from the moment it was suspended to the moment Arthaus took it on)? Someone *other* than KenzerCo is already authorized to update the setting; if they're not following through on that, I'd recommend taking it up with them. I'd also point out this exchange: "<<Do you really have the Mystara rights?>> "Our license does include Mystara." And this: "I don't think we are squatting on the Mystara properties. I don't know for certain, but I would guess WOTC would let anyone with enough cash go ahead and buy a d20 license to the trademark like WW did with Ravenloft. "If we were to do anything with Mystara, it would be in the same vein humorous HackMaster vein as "Robinloft" will be. So just for fun and assuming there was no chance of a d20 version, how many of you would actually buy a "Mystara" product for the HackMaster game?" This implies, to me, that KenzerCo has the rights to Mystara ONLY when it comes to HackMaster-related material, and would not stand in the way of any third party who wanted to recreate the setting under the d20 System. Really not worth fussing over. Now...if you'll excuse me...I got an e-mail to write. I distinctly told these guys I wanted to work on "Robinloft," and I hadn't heard a thing about firm plans in that regard... ;) [/QUOTE]
