SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I worked on this for five years, converting the Known World to 5th edition.  224 pages, dozens of new subclasses, new races, spells, feats and types of magic. All original art and introduces one of the all time best settings to new players.  After discussing it with friends and gamers, decided to put it up as a fanwork as the odds of WOTC opening up the guild is doubtful at this point. Enjoy adventuring in Mystara once more.

Love to see these fan created world conversions.

In my opinion they are much better then the "official" stuff released now.

Awesome! Thanks so much for doing this!
Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?

Many years ago, I DM for my group "Palace of the Silver Princess", and then we adventured through the land of the Princes of  Glantri. I had no idea that it is set in Mystara; I developed the locations based on the descriptions in Palace of the Silver Princess, and it was great fun. Thank you for sharing this; it will be interesting to learn more about Mystara!

Thanks, Mr. Welch. Having never run Mystara back in the old days, I finally started getting into it recently and I'll be using it for the OSE game I'm running for my kids. I can't believe I sat on it so long. Your videos were a big part of what drew me in, so thanks for keeping this alive and well.

Not a 5e player, but this is pretty well done.  Congrats on finishing a long, difficult process, this is most impressive.

I'm still working my way through this. I am usually very hesitant on homebrew and third party stuff because of game balance issues -- yes, I know, many game companies are not competent at that either.

However, it's Mister freakin' Welch.

So yeah, this deserves an in-depth analysis. I'll post back to this thread when I'm done :)

I would like to say I am sorry that all your work didn't receive the glory and monetary reward that it deserved.
You did a great job and are obviously a true fan of the source material.
Thank you.
