[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8488739, member: 18"] The first Mystara thing I came across was the Shadow Elves thing, with cool underground elves being poisoned by what is basically a nuclear reactor and it was kind of badass/amazing plus I loved the Shadow Elves themselves. So my bro and I picked up more Mystara stuff. And it was like that meme with the kid grinning and then his jaw drops and he looks upset. Because wooooow most of Mystara was not up to that quality level, it seemed to be basically "Stereotypical presentation of Earth culture with animal-people!" or "Stereotypical presentation of Earth culture with demihumans or humans!" and so on, just like, endlessly. All these stereotyped cultures from different periods just sitting right next to each other with some dodgy races assigned to them. We were what, 12-14? And we thought it was dumb as hell. It doesn't look any smarter from 43. But I'll always have the Shadow Elves! [/QUOTE]
