They’re really cool! They’ve got the feel of metal dice but without the weight. I also always roll them on a leather dice tray so they won’t damage my table or get dinged up. 😁

Agreed!

Thank you for watching!

It’s such an amazing setting! I’m still using it in my own games as well. 😁

Thanks! It’s a really cool place. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you so very much! I have always felt, as you do, that the well developed setting made my job as a DM easier. It is such a thoroughly designed world and I love it. Thanks for helping me tell others how great it is.

Thank you for watching and your kind words. Love your enthusiasm! I still feel that this world and rules were amazing and special.

I think it was easier for the writers to not be too strict on making sure an NPC would level the same as a PC. Either that or they just made an honest mistake that wasn't caught in editing.

Yes! I certainly do apologize for the lack of content lately. My family and I have had a very busy summer this year and I haven’t had a lot of time.😢 I do have 2 videos in the works and hope to get one up next week. Thank you for asking. It’s nice to know people enjoy my work.

@@raisegamefully No problem, we all have life things to do. :)

The history was compiled from several sources over the years. The simplest way to find out may be on Pandius.com -the Mystara website. Back in the day, the future past 1000AC was detailed in books called The Poor Wizard’s Almanacs (great reads,btw). And yes, Alfheim was conquered by the Shadow Elves who renamed it after a city from their own history.

Thanks for checking it out! So glad people are still into Mystara. It’s an amazing setting with a great fan base.

Yep, me too. I just finished reading the story. Was also delighted to find a fellow user of Dream by Wombo. I'd like to check out your other stuff if you have any?

Thank you so much! This is my first published story and as you know it’s just part one of the story. I hope there’s enough interest to keep it going. I decided to go with Dream because it made nice black and whites, which I felt was true to the original Gazetteer series.

Thanks for watching! They are so well done I wanted to share them with everyone, especially newer players.

Thank you! I too was surprised at this one. It had some really great stuff.

Oh wow! Even newer styles I’ve never heard of. Thank you!

@@raisegamefully As far as I`m aware a lot of DCC dice sets come with these d4s I mentioned.

I now only purchase dice that have this style of d4. I cannot stand the old "caltrop" style of d4s anymore. Roll4initiative is the company who makes a lot of them, not sure if anyone else is making them. ::edit:: Just checked the DCC dice mentioned, this is actually different than the Arched d4's that roll4initiative makes. Theirs are more similar to a rectangle with 2 rounded sides.

Apparently there’s a lot more styles of d4’s than I realized! Thanks for the info! So great to learn about these.

Thanks so much! It’s nice to know that so many others share my love for this setting. And I agree-Berserker is great!

Thank you very much!

Right? 😄 It was an evolution. The setting expanded a lot over the years but I remember The Known World fondly!

That sounds amazing! I believe you have my email if you want to send me the details! 😁

@@raisegamefully I'll have to find it. ill let you know if I need a reminder

Very true about the half breeds. I was referring to the general xenophobia the elves tend towards. This would naturally extend to a half human child but that would depend on an individual campaign and the DM. Interesting idea about a race episode. And yes…. Savage Coast 😉

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I do love these products and I’m excited to show people how cool they were.

Thank you for watching and the kind words. I’ve always agreed with the principle you referenced and I agree about the rules arguments. This material is too amazing to be forgotten and it’s great when I hear from others who feel the same way!

Thank you! So many of us loved it. It’s such a great setting!

I’ve got to help keep it alive. It was such a great setting. Thank you for your kind words!

I’m not surprised. Ed is a prolific genius. Thanks for watching!

Greyhawk was older. It was Gary Gygax’s world for 1st edition AD&D. Mystara evolved into the game world for basic D&D throughout the late 1970’s and 1980’s. It was the world I played with the most and I fell in love with it. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! I’ve always felt D&D in general (and Mystara in particular) was something immersive - a place you could lose yourself in. It sounds like you feel the same way. I’m glad I’m able share this with everyone.

Thank you so much!

They are really cool!

I just found about Threshold magazine a few weeks ago. Super cool. I’m just discovering the Mystara community as well. So glad to see it hasn’t been forgotten. Thank you for watching and your kind words!

So cool, right? It changed my life. Thanks for watching!

That’s really cool. It’s so amazing how this game can played in slightly different ways.

Thanks for your thanks! I feel that there’s so much good stuff from years ago that shouldn’t be forgotten. 😊

Two of my favorites! They’re fantastic

Interesting. Yes, it’s amazing how many ways the math works. Does your DM then apply bonuses and penalties behind the scenes? Do you feel that combat takes less time this way?

Thanks so much. I talk about lots of stuff but BECMI and Mystara are my favorites. Our play sessions are 2e AD&D Planescape with random things thrown in. I’d love to join/run a BECMI online game but I’m not sure I have the time. Let me know if you find one though. 🎲

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy it all.

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me that people in this hobby are so supportive. It’s great that there are people out there who enjoy hearing me talk about the parts of D&D that made me fall in love with the game.

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! I’m all about showing older parts of the game to newer players. In this case it’s my sons and their friends. Just wanted to show everybody how simple and fun the game can be. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching! I always wished I could’ve used this material more. Back in the day, our campaigns didn’t feature Hin very much and I didn’t explore this material until much later on. It’s a shame because the Gazetteer is so well done. Thank you also for your feedback. I struggle between describing all the material and keeping the videos short and to the point.

Thanks so much! There’s a vibe to these products and this world that just captivates me. I love that you played a campaign here! Darokin is coming soon!

@@raisegamefully Actually we played many campaigns in Mystara and in one of those I was the DM. Beign myself from Italy, did you know they translated some of the gazzetteers (I think 1 through 5 ) in Italian too? Also, at the time, without Amazon, it was really tough to find them, once I remember travelling for 80/90 miles just to find a comics shop in another nearby city to buy some material... Just a note: I don't remember in what video you mentioned it but the rules cyclopedia did not contain the Immortal rules set. I had to buy it separately. Keep up this good job you are doing:feels like being young again 🙂

Wow! I had no idea the products were translated into Italian. That’s really cool. And I can’t believe you drove so far for some products. That’s great. I would definitely do the same thing! Didn’t know that info about the immortal rules but I’m not surprised. I don’t think those modules were big sellers. I love them though! Glad that the videos are helping you feel young. The game has always done that for me.

@@raisegamefully ...who spoke about driving so far... at the time I was young and did not have the driving license so me and a friend took the train... 😂😂😂

I agree. I never played one myself but I always felt they were a great part of D&D.

I did it once myself. Very cool. Lots of book keeping 🤣
