This boxed set for the Dungeons & Dragons game is based on the "Princess Ark" chronicles from the pages of Dragon magazine, and includes everything needed to build a campaign around Prince Haldemar of Haaken and his skyship.[1] The "Designer's Manual" explains how to construct skyships from scratch and launch them into outer space. The void between worlds is as frigid as an arctic night, negative gravity planes can cause vessels to capsize in mid-air, and passengers who do not wear air masks or cast spells to create an atmosphere are at risk of suffocation.[1]
This boxed set includes the following items:
Champions of Mystara was designed by Ann Dupuis and Bruce A. Heard, and published by TSR as a boxed set containing eight vehicle blueprints and four poster maps.[1] The box art was by Robh Ruppel, with book cover art by Fred Fields and interior art by Terry Dykstra. The publication date is 1993.
Rick Swan reviewed Champions of Mystara for Dragon magazine No. 202 (February 1994).[1] He suggests that fans "mourning the loss of the "Princess Ark" chronicles [...] can console themselves with this lavish boxed set".[1] He compared the space exploration feature of the set to the Spelljammer setting for AD&D, noting that "Mystara physics aren't nearly as cooperative", raising the question, "You thought piloting an Alphatian yacht would be easy?"[1] Keith H. Eisenbeis reviewed the module in a 1994 issue of White Wolf. He stated that the product, "provides all that’s necessary to bring the adventure elements of this excellent series into the D&D game setting".[2] He rated it at 3 out of 5 points for Value, and 4 points for Appearance, Concepts, Complexity, and Playability.[2]
