Date: 8/25/95 4:14:00 PM From: Anodaewyn1 Posted on: America Online Now, maybe I'm missing something... but, the only book that I have for the Mystara setting is the Dragonlord series. Just the two. Are there others? ~~J Subj: Re:Mystara books? Date: 8/25/95 4:40:24 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online There should only be three (Dragonlords, Dragonkings, and Knights of Mystara coming out in November). Bruce Heard Subj: Swashbucklers & Firearms Date: 8/25/95 4:41:58 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online Repeated from previous folder: Subj: Firearms & Swashbucklers Date: 95-08-25 14:10:47 EDT From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online Just a note to say that I'll be posting some questions to debate in the Red Steel folder, hopefully today. This has to do with adapting a campaign setting to firearms and swashbucklers. In general this Page 1 of 170 MYSTARA MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 25th Aug 1995 to 12th March 1996 affects the use of firearms vs. armor, and secret fencing passes favoring skilled swordsmen with rapiers and main gauche. I'm just looking for comments and opinions. Thanks. Bruce Heard Subj: Re:Mystara books? Date: 8/25/95 8:53:30 PM From: Anodaewyn1 Posted on: America Online okay cool....thanks for the info. -
