And indeed, there's much buzz online about it -- but where's a good place to start?
Well, in addition to somehow wrangling a copy of the Rules Cyclopedia (RC) and grabbing a couple of the classic modules (B2, X1, X2, etc.), the logical place to start is the Gazetteers.
The Age of Ravens blog has an excellent series of reviews on the Gazetters:
GAZ5: The Elves of Alfheim
GAZ6: The Dwarves of Rockhome
GAZ7: The Northern Reaches
GAZ8: The Five Shires
GAZ9: The Minrothad Guilds
Dreams in the Lich House also posted a bunch of interesting links on Mystara, including:
- Bruce Heard's aggregated Facebook interview on Bruce's own blog
- A Post on Glantri
- An Ode to Mystara
Interestingly, someone raised the issue of a Mystara Megadungeon. There are comments that many were mentioned in the Gazetteers and source material, but none actually was fully detailed.
Interesting idea for a project, but which one?
Anyway, we shouldn't worry about stocking it, as the blog Stocking the Dungeon has several ideas for that. However, another big draw are, of course, the statted out versions of the D&D cartoon characters as ready-made NPCs in Mystara:
Can't wait for the Acrobat and the Cavalier.
