Aldarron, I think that your estimation of the DA modules is unreasonably harsh. The references to Mystara are limited to the introductiory sections of each module. Consider that even Greyhawk fans use the DA modules to detail Greyhawk's Blackmoor. David Ross/Zimriel is IMO one of the Blackmoor scholars I respect the most and even though he concluded that Blackmoor should be its own world, he worked on a combination of the DA modules and the FFC as well as some correspondence with Arneson himself. I think it is pretty useful to compare the DA modules to the D20 line to find out what was added by Dustin Clingman, Jeff Quinn and the others at ZGG.
