My original campaign is slowly moving towards a climatic stage, and a lot of the action will take place in Wendar and the Northern Wildlands. Your material and the discussion in MMB will be useful then. Until now Wendar has remained sketchy IMC, despite the fact that one player has a dominion there. Perhaps the reason is that as an international crimelord he doesn't have time for provincial matters :) It would be nice if someone created a coherent text from the discussion on Thorfinn's map.

Ignoring the MMB would be telling Wizards we don't care about Mystara anymore. Something I don't think this group wants to suggest. So let's keep both active. > > It would be nice to find a way to merge them, but forums can handle a lot more traffic than mailing lists. I've seen lists that get so much different traffic, that they have to split the list into two subtopics and create two lists. I'd advocate some way of joining both, but if everything on the board came to our emails, we might be getting flooded. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2005 13:23:01 -0500 From: Pat Taylor Subject: a module Here is a module i created for my characters to go through.....it was designed with them in mind but some work could fix it to fit anywhere.....it was in 4 parts so i will give an overview and if anyone is interested i'll post details an overview Saga of the Shark Lord Part 1: The darker darkness The party is returning with one member to her home...she had been out on her sheering.....her father is a landed noble in southwestern Karamekios, near the Black Eagle Barony. Rumor has reached the baron of a treasure horde on these lands. He sends some thugs of the Iron Ring to strong arm the villiagers and this Traldaran Lord. Unknown to the girl or the baron....the lord is really a vampyr. Not evil per say...he has his peasants good will at heart, but not someone to triffle with. Now the party discovers the truth and must face their own prejudices and ally with the lord to protect the people from the Iron Ring. To complicate matters a Thyatian mercinary troop is hired to help the ring. This troop is led by a wizard who is uncle to another party member. a member who was sold by this uncle into the gladiator arean as a slave while a child. The final twist- unbeknownst to the iron ring, thyatians, or the noble is the fact that the Devil fish have been using shark kin to infiltrate the villiage as a beach head. the mission is to establish a secret base to gather food and sacrafices. Now more prejudices and past anger must be set aside to confront the new threat. Part 2 Blood surf After discovering the shark kin are behind disapearances....they must be traced to a small islet off the coast. there clues are found to lead to the deep and the devilfish lands. Part 3 Deal with the Devil Now that the true threat is found, the party and noble must seek aid from the Baron....convincing the baron of the real threat....not killing his evil henchmen....surviving fort doom..... Part 4 The Deep Now the party along with Bargle and the Thyatian wizard and some of his troops adventure out to the deep undersea to find the Devilfish lands and rescue the captives and end the theat....Not really going to the deep lands just and outpost.....convincing the merfolk to aid them and assalt the devifish lair....rescue the captives and of course survive Bargle the Imfamous...... let me know what you think of these or if you would like the details thanks, neal ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2005 07:50:24 +0100 From: Jon Cole Subject: New Monsters (perhaps) Has anyone done anything wrt a 3.5 monster template for gribblies from the Dimension of Nightmares? As none of the standard ones quite seem to do the concept justice :-) Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Gander" To: Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 1:28 AM Subject: Re: [MYSTARA] is list alive? > On Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:28:18 -0300, Vinicius R. de Moraes - USP Solar > wrote: > > >Why don't we try to dicipline ourseleves and use only THIS list?
