I'm looking forward to taking some time over the next few days to read more about your Mystoerth world. Have you actually used it in your games? It sounds really cool. <br /><br />@Drance - Yes, Red Steel was part of the Savage Coast, which was largely the area described in the "Princess Ark" series. Oddly enough, my FLGS has a shrink-wrapped Red Steel box set sitting in their used section. It's been there for at least a year. I've often toyed with buying it (I think it's like $10 or $15), but I do have to watch my money and more importantly, my space. <br /><br />@Kelvin - The Gazetteers were some of the best products that TSR put out during that period, in my opinion. I never got the <i>Rules Cyclopedia</i> - I'm curious how the map for the Known World in that book differs from the one I posted above, which is out of X1.Martin R.

But I was so indoctrinated into AD&D that I really didn't know what to make of the D&D products at the time. Since then, I've considered the Known World from time to time as a campaign world for a game. Hey, didn't that Red Steel setting for AD&D use the Savage Coast from the Known World?Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-312698957749576588.post-89253064578755672022011-06-23T19:54:10.514-07:002011-06-23T19:54:10.514-07:00Absolutely!

When I went to high school my new DM was using Greyhawk so we merged our worlds into one larger one. <br />Many years later I found a map drawn by <a href="http://stockingthedungeon.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">chatdemon</a> that was very close to what we had done. <br /><br />You can read all my "Mystoerth" posts here, <a href="http://timbrannan.blogspot.com/search/label/Mystoerth" rel="nofollow">http://timbrannan.blogspot.com/search/label/Mystoerth</a>Timothy S.
