Mystara purists loudly prefer the gazetteer but the boxed set is also a very good product.Karameikos is a very standard forested region with mountains, some ruins, a villainous wizard (Bargle, who's also featured in the BD&D boxed set adventure), a few mysteries, but a lot of pretty standard D&Disms. There are goblins and a green dragon in the woods, semi-frontier towns that need help, a good-hearted duke in a castle, a few knights, etc.Both versions of Karameikos will also tease the duchy (or nation, depending)'s connections to surrounding regions and lead you toward checking out the ones you like.Alternately, there's the Known World map in Isle of Dread which also includes capsule summaries of the various nations. A warning, though, the map doesn't hint at the fact that, when Kingdom of Ierendi finally came out, they decided to make it a joke setting with Fantasy Island and Magnum, PI analogues. The other nations, as I recall, are described simply but accurately.You can go hog-wild digging into lots of other areas of the world, but I'd start with a single gazetteer, and work out from there.Let me know if you have questions about any of the specific regions that might have caught your eye.</blockquote>
