It is also a setting where there are plenty of fans but they don't seem so uptight about messing around with canon - the Vaults of Pandius are full of speculation and alteration. It was about the Riverfork Keep, some 25 miles past the border between Eastshire and Karameikos. Karameikos sits on the south shore of the continent of Brun, west of Thyatis and east of the Five Shires to the north, broad mountain ranges separate the nation from Darokin and Ylaruam. So the next question is Why Mystara? It's relatively well known to me (along with Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms) and also for most of its publishing history it used the B/X rules whereas other published settings used AD&D or 3E/4E, so stuff associated with other editions (paladins, rangers & monks, devils and demons) is not too central to it. Vaults of Pandius - The Official Mystara Homepage. Karameikos is a deep, dark land mostly wilderness which man throughout recorded history has tried to occupy. When writing new stuff, whether it be monsters, spells, NPCs or adventures, I just go with rules that I already know.
It is not that I do not like it, it is simply that I am not used to it. It has a repository of encyclopedic and fan-created content for Mystara. As you might have noticed from my previous posts, I have looked at 5E. Vaults of Pandius is a web site, run by Pandius, that describes itself as the official homepage of the Dungeons & Dragons setting of Mystara. If I did go ahead with this I think I would stick with B/X. In terms of rules, I may well go back to some of the stuff I did earlier for Kaelaross. My ideas, at least at the moment, are along the lines of adding new stuff rather than changing existing stuff. The idea is expanding on Mystara and the Known World, both fluff and crunch. I am toying with an idea but not yet committed enough.
