Comments: If any site netbook, this one is it. consolidate the various expansions by game mechanics and topic; forEx:
B/E/C/M/I & Cy/WotIm:
Ä Classes and Races
Ä Rules Additions
Ä Monsters
AD&D:
Ä Classes, Kits, Races
Ä Monsters
Ä Rules
Setting:
yada, yada, yada... Basically, for each dotted (Ä) line, compile the materials, and include whose ideas were compiled. Then run it through a PDF maker of some kind (Ghostscript is free from aladdin software), and make compiled stuff available. (Making PDF's is easy and can be done with free downloadable stuff. It also means nicer formatting is available. And, by compiling, it makes it easier to find things specific to a given game system.)
I only use The Cyclopaedia in my games on mystara, plus all the gazetters except the 5 shires (which I can't find....) There are some great ideas which may be useful... but I can't figure out what's Cyclopaedia, what's AD&D2, and what's other except for a very few files.
Nice to see it isn't dead, now if only they'd put all the gazeteers on a CD...

Comments: I am most impressed by the magitude of imformation you provide. It's going to take weeks, if not months, to sort through it all... oh well, at least it's entertaining.
I take it you've been doing this for a very long time! Must be a GURU of Mystara. I grew up playing D&D and had at one time very gazzateer, so I knew this land before it was adapted into the AD&D world. I like the improvements but haven't used anything new in any games I've played.
I have only just recently started playing again and have created my own world for a play by e-mail game called Thunder Canyon. Which is using an old D&D game called Thunder RIFT. Speaking of which, do you have knowledge of it... I have limited resources as this product line never completely went to market because TSR went out of business soon after. Any info would be appreciated!?!?
The PBeM I play is located at... http://members.xoom.com/IamMisko/Thunder_Canyon/index.htm
I like to offer you something special. I'm putting together a new site encompassing many RPGs from over the net. Check it out and I would LOVE to include you on the list! Go to... http://members.amethyst-alliance.com/arena/index.htm
Let me know what you think. It's been a pleasure sort thru your site and will be back! All the best to you and keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Michael

Possible improvements: Try to fix up the indexing of the files
Comments: I know it's pretty boring, but it would be really good if you could build some more indexes, as the material is so much that listing all spells under a single header, for example, makes things quite difficult to find.
Luckily, only a few sections suffer from this problem.

Comments: I would like to be able to download the files, especially the Almanacs, preferably in a .doc or .rtf format. The site is nice and the colors you have chosen make it easy to read but I still prefer to have the information in a format that I can read offline and edit for my own use. See the birthright homepage for what i would like in downloads.

Comments: Your site is a good reference for material and ideas. I think it could be organized a little better - perhaps a better series of heirarchal menus or something ("what the hell do I look like/ An interior decorator/)
I have been away from gaming for a long time, so it's nice to see it's still alive and well. Add me to your mailing list (I didn't see a link for that).

Possible improvements: Do some sort of snazzy html stuff
Comments: Please remove the fixed size of the fonts on your pages; they 're set to 14-20 points and that's way too big for reading unless you have a 23 inch monitor. Let the user set how big s/he wants the font to be. A few snazzy scans of mystaran monsters and/or NPCs would add a lot to the pages too. And a complete map of the world showing country outlines and names is essential to explain this world to newcomers such as myself. Your site is very good because it has a lot of excellent content. but it needs to be spruced up a bit to make it more presentable. Thanks!

Comments: This has to be one of the most complete and well presented sites for Mystara I have ever come across, in over six months of searching. Kepp this page up and expand it if you can - though it's already great. Thanks for writing it.

Comments: Hi,
Some good stuff you got here - about time I got around to looking. Such plans we had for starflung, glad it's being put to good use by someone! Seriously, very good resource page, if difficult to find exactly what you're looking for - but nothing a little browsing doesn't fix! Off to read some Web of Intrigue stuff for my new Aranean PC... Glad to see you got a link to my feeble attempt at a page :) Keep up the good work!
Amanda PS. Sorry about the 10 seconds thing but User Friendly is quite good this week! :)

Comments: I'm very glad to see someone supporting the Mystara world. I started on D&D (Basic and Expert sets) and AD&D back in the early 80's, and I've got a lot of old modules and adventures that reference this world.
Unfortunately, it's not a comprehensive set of modules. What I'd like to see you put up, if you can (legally, I know, depends on TSR/WotC copyrights), are the official maps that have long been out of print, as I don't have access to them. Makes running anything in the Mystara world kinda tough =)
Thanks for a great page!

Comments: Your site is a great wealth of information on Mystara and a refreshing alternative to the fancy-graphics, no-content nature of so many other D&D sites. You have earned a three-star rating at Effie Rover's Great Wyrm!
Please feel free to post my comments along with my web address if you like.
Cheers, Effie

Comments: Just popped in to rip the site again!
You need to add another answer line to the "How did you arrive" question. One which reads, "I just clicked the link in my favourites/bookmarks etc.". >G<
