Actually, it is in there:
9. World of Ravenloft – The domains and populations are large like countries in our world, encompassing thousands of miles and millions of people. Perhaps it is actually a full planet with continents and oceans, not just a demiplane.

It think it covers your Mistworld quite well, isn't it? ;)

I like the various city watch companies of Richemulot and the noble houses attached. Full of things I will surely use.

I also like the Flora and Fauna bits in Survey of Markovia. Those are surely included in my Markovia.

I mean, include it in Mistworld-canon. The Chibiloft dealing with Juste.

While I am a canon freak you have interesting characters in the famed and infamous section. Unfortunately I haven't played a single adventure for more than a decade. I was in the process of playing with some friends of mine who are interested but then covid came and we never actually did. Hopefully within 2023 I will finally make it.

Mephisto, the Richemulot section looks AMAZING!! I have not read through it all yet, just a cursory look, but the detail is awesome. I especially like the maps included of the 3 main cities. Great stuff!

Some credit is due to the person who drew this, the others are completely my own (drawn around two decades ago), thanks!

Are the reference numbers (1-8) scattered througout 'Secrets of Pharazia (pg 193-194) meant to be linked to footnotes?

Or has Aayid al-Farra (the Finest Barber in All Phiraz) has shaved a little to much off?
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back they had written, "Wish you were here."

Mephisto has very kindly restored the endnotes for the next release. Although Aayid al-Farra is off the hook this time, it is always an excellent idea to keep a close eye on him.

Once again just want to say, love the Falkovnia stuff from Mephisto. The many drugs reminds me of the methamphetimine problem that plagued the German army in WW2 (no doubt the inspiration for the section)
I loved the Twisting Tower with its many headed dragon of Romanian legend (far better than my trapped Red Abishai Zmeu)
and I especially love Markovia. It had everything I expected that the domain would bring it: frontier towns and opportunists that where taken with the Conjunction. I loved the attempts to give Markov more personality, like his hypocritical vanity and self-obsession, as well as his hobbies. Giving darklords simple mundane hobbies I feel just gives them so much more life.

If you download the pdf again you 'll get the corrected version with the footnotes and Jack the Reapers name corrected.
