The Return of the Egg - Sarastro ilMagnifico - 01-17-2016

Here you can find a serie of articles I've written few weeks ago and where I try to explain what is for me the Egg and its connection to the past and present days of Mystara.

Hi Sinuhe! Welcome to the Comeback Inn!

The Egg of Coot was first mentioned in print in Gary Gygax' preface to Supplement II Blackmoor (1975). More details (although humorous) can be found in the First Fantasy Campaign (JG) There was never a module dedicated to the Egg of Coot published by TSR, but Bruce Heard had plans for a two part module series featuring the Egg as part of his planned relaunch of Blackmoor in the late 1990s. Sadly that never happened as TSR went bankrupt and was eventually acquired by Wizards of the Coast.

Was this just a plan (and nothing more than a plan) by Bruce Heard or were the adventures written and eventually not published?

The Return of the Egg adventures from the 1990s were just plans from Bruce Heard and TSR. They were abandoned when Mystara was moved to AD&D, but they might have been revived if the Mystara AD&D line had been more successful and if TSR had not declared bankrupcy a few years later. 

With WotC's acquisition of TSR, Peter Adkison made arrangements that eventually allowed Dave Arneson and Dustin Clingman to publish the Dave Arneson's Blackmoor product line for the d20 system (and later 4E), but the Return of the Egg plans would have been outside of what ZGG and partners would have been allowed to produce even if they had wanted to.
