Since the beginning of ''D&D''[='s=] third edition, Mystara has received relatively few references in published material, notably being listed as a possible setting in the Ghosts of Saltmarsh Adventure Book. FandomVIP [[Blog/ThingsMrWelchIsNoLongerAllowedToDoInAnRPG Mr Welch]] has taken it upon himself to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvjD4Ci_bLs&list=PLI27Za9sqyRVnc9-naoDIWQ_6MM6ONwQy&index=1 create a video series detailing the Setting,]] and has created [[https://rpgmp3.com/mystara-players-guide/ a guide specifically for 5th Edition]].

** One of the common races of Mystara are doglike humanoids called lupins. An article on lupins in ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' #237 mentions a [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} beagle lupin who flies an airplane]] and [[Literature/ArseneLupin a lupin thief named Arsäne Lupin]].

''Mystara'', also known as the ''Known World'', is the default setting for the original "Basic" set of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', which evolved into its own adjacent game to "Advanced" ''D&D''. (The curious can learn more about "BECMI" ''D&D'' [[TabletopGame/BasicDungeonsAndDragons on its dedicated page]].) While the earliest parts of the setting existed in the 1977 "Holmes Basic" edition of the game and saw a little expansion with 1981's "Expert Set" under Tom Moldvay, it was starting in 1983 that Mystara became its own discreet campaign world, with the revisions to Basic and Expert under Frank Mentzer, along with the more advanced sets (Companion, Master, and Immortal) that followed.

''Mystara'', also known as the ''Known World'', is the default setting for the Frank Mentzer version of Classic ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' (the Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, and Immortal sets; and the Rules Cyclopedia by Creator/AaronAllston, which compiled the rules from the first four sets into one volume).

Mystara was the setting that most people of the 1980s who got into ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' were familiar with, with such familiar faces as Morgan Ironwolf the fighter, Sister Rebecca the cleric, Silverleaf the elf, Frederik the dwarf, Black Dougal the thief, Larry Elmore's beautiful cleric Aleena, and Bargle the Infamous, the bastard of a magic user who murdered her and who every player of that day wanted to take down.

Since the beginning of 3rd Edition Mystara has received relatively few references in published material, notably being listed as a possible setting in the Ghosts of Saltmarsh Adventure Book.

(It also features a solar system with an additional planet instead of an asteroid belt. A planet named ''[[MeaningfulName Damocles]]''... )

* GenuisBruiser: The wurmlings from the Savage Coast Monster Compendium are 45' long Jabba the Hutt impersonators with a Strength of 20 and can literally steamroll multiple opponents. But their most dangerous traits are their Intelligence of 16, perfect memory, and ability to learn new languages in just a few days. These traits allow them to dominate the local underworld because they are fantastic at running businesses.
