[QUOTE="Gorg, post: 8206985, member: 7029501"] THAT'S IT!!! That's my old boxed set that got lost/stolen/disappeared many years ago... (It's been so long- since the 1990s- I forget why I no longer own it, lol) We got a lot of use out of it- really expanded the scope of our campaign. I remember having the MC suppliment for it too. I may still have that- the binder all the pages were in was returned to me years ago, and it sits on my bottom shelf. Aside from the Moldvay boxed sets, this was probably the best, and most used set I ever bought. What a cool expansion to the game it was back then. I'll have to go haunt E-Bay, and my local game shop, and see if I can get my hands on a used copy. And speaking of which, I'd love to get my hands on Mystara as well. As others have said, The 5E mechanics aren't important here- I want the fluff and lore of the original settings. The crunchy bits can always be converted. Also have to agree with the sentiment that new edition releases of old favorite settings are often disappointing. Rarely does it resemble the world we adventured in and loved- so much was changed, to update the "official" timeline, or to make it "new and improved!" for the new edition. Perfect example: Dragonlance. 5th age, especially, bore very little resemblance to what I knew and loved about it... The Realms, too- with the "Spellplague" and Shar (attempting to) knocking off Midnight, etc. But that's fine- I have the OG hardcovers for both (Greyhawk, too), and all the 2nd edition stuff I could get my hands on. Plus, the 3rd ed FR setting, Faiths and Pantheons; and several of the magic and regional expansions- and all the stuff printed in Dragon and Dungeon magazines. I think I got enough material and lore to work with! lol. I've got enough adventures- and adventure starters- to run games for the rest of my life and then some... And also the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting; Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed setting; and everything I could get my hands on from Swords and Sorcery studios and Necromancer games. The 3 5E core rulebooks give me all the crunch I need to play, and stock whatever worlds I want to put my players through. Being an adult with a life- and somewhat lazy- I'll never sneer at any interesting monster manual expansions, though! I'd love to get the Level Up! MM, if I ever get the chance.
