Mercurius
Legend
I haven't paid much attention to RPG releases over the last year or so but have recently started to get back into things as I plan for a D&D 5E campaign to begin in January. Anyhow, while scouring RPGnet's Game Index for recent releases, I came across the Midgard Campaign Setting. As a setting junky, my eyes lit up. I check out the PDF preview and read the review on ENWorld and hope to eventually pick up a copy, although it seems like the hard-copy isn't easily available and when it is, it costs $50 (a lot for any book, especially a softcover). But I'm not a big fan of PDFs so would like the actual book rather than the $20 PDF.
Anyhow, I'm looking for impressions. The review was relatively thorough, but I'm wanting to now more about the general feeling of the setting. Is it yet another "kitchen sink" fantasy setting? I'm not opposed to that, and enjoy new takes on old tropes, but I'd like to know what sets it apart - what makes it distinct, and how well it does vanilla fantasy.
Commence opinionation.
