Mystara stuff in Dragon

Apr 06, 2004 12:21:49 The april issue of Dragon (#318?) has information from the Hollow World's Malpheggi Swamp. It includes rules for playing Malpheggi Lizardmen and new rules for a dinosaur cult of Ka.

Also an earlier issue (#315?) had lots of Mystara stuff, including the Defilers of Ka plus Savage Coast, Cynicidea and Blackmoor info.

I for one am happy to see that Mystara has not been forgotten and I am really hoping to see more such material in Dragon in the future.

Has anyone else read the articles? Opinions?

Any chance you could post the info here? That might be asking a bit much.

Apr 06, 2004 17:37:30 I've seen #315 and I admit I thought it was cool to see new Mystara material. However I doubt I'll ever use any of that material IMCs. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either.

As for #318 I haven't seen it. Sounds interesting though.

Apr 06, 2004 20:41:48 It is great to see material in dragon, however, I was dissapointed in the topics they chose to present. I'm not sure how they came to the decision, possibly because they had previous material that they could rehash and convert. There wasn't anything particularly 'new' about the articles.

If dragon were to issue further articles on Mystara I would like to see them in the form that would not only satisfy the current following but maybe attract those who don't know much about the setting.

Very True. I should have said "it's good to see Mystara material in current publication". Ya... that's it.

Most young gamers have no clue about Mystara, et al, so it's nice to see these articles, even if all it does is arouse curiousity.

If I recall correctly, the general consensus was that the Red Steel article was the only one worth reading.

I hope the stuff in #318 is better. I will have to take a peek at it the first chance I get.
