(That's just the ones they are actively working on.)Īnd there are not that many settings to come back. And since then, he has said that they have not limited the returning settings to three settings. He is the one that promised that Wizards of the Coast were working on bringing back three classic D&D settings. Ray Winston is the person to watch, to find out if Mystara is going to get official 5th Edition D&D treatment. It occupies a similar space to things like the unpublished Ivid the Undying manuscript that was released to Greyhawk fans a long time ago. The only reason it was kept secret was that Vaults of Pandius wanted it to be a surprise for fans.īut when someone who discovered that Jeff Grubb sent the manuscript to Vaults of Pandius, started to make a call for people to bombard WotC customer services with complaints (when they had already authorised Vaults of Pandius to publish this and the editing work was already underway) Shawn probably had to announce that he already had the rights to publish it. There is no sudden 5th Edition or DMs Guild-related decision on this by WotC. This 2nd Edition AD&D manuscript got sent to Vaults of Pandius (the official Mystara fansite) in 2017 and they have been working for four years on getting approval, from WotC to get this released, as well as tidying it up and making sure that Jeff Grubb is happy with how it looks. WotC's approval of this sourcebook's release have been premature, i.e. That's why the site is the natural host for this. Note Vaults of Pandius is the Official Mystara Homepage! Given that designation by WotC, back in the 2000s, when Jim Butler was managing fan policy for "other worlds." There's an official agreement and everything. "If you succeed, I will be glad to provide an intro with a less-depressing history of the project." Which will be a fulfillment of Jeff's offer back in 2019: "Shawn has been in touch with me, and I will be glad to write a brief foreword for the project." I do kind of agree that something a little bit less-depressing than the blog posts might be preferable - something to celebrate the release than recall the negative things that had happened during that time."
But yes, I would think that anything that Jeff wants to write to accompany the document would be a great idea. I also wanted to get his okay for the editing that I had done. I had been intending to do so once I had finished the graphic design - but with the release of new news yesterday, I reached out to him yesterday. "Yes I was going to reach out to him with respect to providing some sort of foreword for the release. I reached out to Shawn Stanley on April 10th: Some people were wondering if Jeff is involved in the release. Updates from Grubb gives an overview of the book on his blogĪs for the release date: Shawn Stanley, Webmaster of the Vaults of Pandius, announced ( here) that June 27th is the planned release date.
