April fool, of course -- look at the address of the HW pic: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/aprilfool_hollowworld_med.jpg But it was quite obvious anyway. Note that the HW seems to fall in the same league as the D&D-branded pop-corn and the invisible stalker mini... o tempora, o mores!

Note that the HW seems to fall in the same league as the D&D-branded pop-corn and the invisible stalker mini... o tempora, o mores! Most people's reaction would probably be "what's that"? Which is good, since they now have a chance to find out more about that most excellent setting and the rest of Mystara. Any attention is good attention right? Håvard

It's bad enough when your favourite campaign setting is out of print and out of favour, but to see part of it flaunted as worth little more than the brunt of an april fools prank kind of hurts. I wonder - would they do the same thing to another OOP setting - say Planescape or Dark Sun? Sure, the prank will introduce Hollow World and Mystara to some people who've never heard of them and they might even poke around some to find out more, and that's great. But was that really worth having the spirts of Mystara fans raised up and then subsequently crushed? On a more positive note - I think it was last year's April fools joke that was an add for the "soon to be released" book "Dungeons and Dragons for Dummys". The real joke, however, was that Wizards really did plan to release a book by that name before the year was out (and it's a pretty good book too - I've skimmed it and it has excellent ideas and tips that even a die-hard gamer could benefit from). So... who knows what fate has in store for the Hollow World. :evillaugh

Personally I prefer to think the former, though we should have known that it was an April Fool's joke straight away - Milenian pikemen indeed, they're Milenian spearmen. And surely any real new product would hopefully have a news flash containing more exciting news than one of the cultures is called Milenian and that they have spearmen (or pikemen or whatever).

#8 ripvanwormer Apr 02, 2006 20:36:56	I wonder - would they do the same thing to another OOP setting - say Planescape or Dark Sun? The joke about the modron miniatures felt like the same thing, but for Planescape.
