Anyone played this? I've heard of it years ago but never bothered to look it up until now.

I think I'll skip straight to Dragon's Crown.

I bought it; there's a Chronicles of Mystara which combines the two games.

Dragon's crown reminds me a lot of it. The Mystara games were surprisingly deep; everyone had a moveset (like you can power attack by pressing forward + attack).

They have branching paths, the second game has special lootable equipment (like a cursed sword. If a cleric tries to pick it up 8 times, he breaks the curse and it becomes a Paladin's sword and automagically slays most undead).

Recommended.

Get both, both are fun.

Shadow over Mystara is easier to get into as there's no character point building like Dragon's Crown.

They're both fun games, aye, but the second one has a whole lot of 2E "DM Dick Extension characters railroading you in the ass", which results in a wonderful divide of great gameplay and a terrible, terrible shit-ass story.
