[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 8245419, member: 61182"] It doesn't mean anything of the sort. This 2nd Edition AD&D manuscript got sent to Vaults of Pandius (the official Mystara fansite) in 2017 and they have been working for four years on getting approval, from WotC to get this released, as well as tidying it up and making sure that Jeff Grubb is happy with how it looks. There is no sudden 5th Edition or DMs Guild-related decision on this by WotC. The only reason it was kept secret was that Vaults of Pandius wanted it to be a surprise for fans. But when someone who discovered that Jeff Grubb sent the manuscript to Vaults of Pandius, started to make a call for people to bombard WotC customer services with complaints (when they had already authorised Vaults of Pandius to publish this and the editing work was already underway) Shawn probably had to announce that he already had the rights to publish it. It occupies a similar space to things like the unpublished [I]Ivid the Undying[/I] manuscript that was released to Greyhawk fans a long time ago. Ray Winston is the person to watch, to find out if Mystara is going to get official 5th Edition D&D treatment. He is the one that promised that [URL='https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=25266']Wizards of the Coast were working on bringing back three classic D&D settings[/URL]. And since then, he has said that they have not limited the returning settings to three settings. (That's just the ones they are actively working on.) And there are not that many settings to come back. So if 5e sticks around, we might get a book for most of the classic settings. [/QUOTE]
