FFG's Midnight setting

[Furn_Darkside]

Salutations,

I did a quick search and did not see a discussion of this, so..

Has anyone checked out the preview?

It looks like an interesting setting- low magic and with Heroic Paths to help balance things out against powerful creatures.

I look forward to seeing more about this setting.

    Whoa... that looks very, very cool. And I have been impressed, in general, with FFG's quality thus far. Hopefully, this lives up to that standard.

Thanks for pointing this out, it looks great. I didn't know they had the preview up. I think FFG has become my favorite d20 company. I don't have all their books, but of those I do have only Mythic Races I'm not happy with. Thier Path of X books are excellent, and spells and spellcraft is basically a core book with as much use I want to give.

It will be interesting to see how the whole book turns out - it has the potential of becoming the benchmark of a low-magic setting.

I realize other published settings are also low magic, but they seem to achieve it while creating a whole new magic system.

Midnight seems to make slight changes to the existing one.

I like that they will be using things from the Path books. I really like the two that are out and I can't wait for the other 2 or 3 (not sure how many they are doing). I also hope thet tie in some Legendary Classes into the world.

I saw this on their message boards yesterday:

Way of Faith - (paladins, clerics, druids)
Way of Shadow - (rogues, ninja, and special surprises)

That's what's on the book right now for this year.

I still have not tried the Way books out yet- I am content with the Quint books and am hesitant about buying hardcover books.

I like the Quint books to. The Path series covers different ground so I find using them together is easy. First they have classes, prestige classes, and legendary classes. They place more information about their classes then anyone, making them easier to fit into your world. Even on some of the prestige classes I didn't really like, the information about them and the organization that they represent makes me want to use them.

I like the legendary class concept. It makes for a decent power increase without going epic. They are very adaptible and I'd like to see one in play.

Each has a type of Path, sort of like fighting styles. Instead of have requiremnents, they are based on level. Each takes time, costs money and XP. They all go to 10 tiers instead of five. There are arganizations for each of them.

I was so happy with Path of Sword, that I bought Path of Magic without reading a review or hearing anything about it. And Path of Magic is as good. Great Bard additions in there.

Ok. hmm. I will consider it as I put my Talon order together.

Thanks.

There's one review up for Path of Swords. None for Path of Magic yet. I didn't read the review, so I'm not sure how helful it will be. If you'd like I can post a review up on both of them later this week. I'm trying to get around to reviewing a lot of stuff and I can but this on my list to do first. There would be three books ahead of them. I'd feel bad if you just took my word that they were good and you dodn't like them. So, I hope you are able to find some solid info and make a more informed desicion.

Heh, no worries. I had planned to do some research, and I look forward to reading your thoughts in a review.
