[QUOTE="Keefe the Thief, post: 5454797, member: 49552"] Okay, i read the "Bridge to Another World" section, but i'm still a little confused. Let's ignore the fact for a moment that Midgard is a German roleplaying system and setting that came out in '81, is still being supported and has a hardcore following. I mean, researching that should have been easy, right? Enter Midgard into the Pen&Paper database. Pathfinder is heavily pushed in Germany by Ulysses, and selling it here should have been a piece of cake. Now it will land on the shelves beside a brand that has over 40 supplements for the current edition alone. Is this some kind of "who cares about Europes biggest RPG market" thingy? But whats more problematic for me is pairing uniqueness with age-old clichès that should've been killed with fire long ago: - Dragon empires in the east with a sultan and "harem assassins" (do i want to know what those are?). - North: dwarves, giants, Thule, valkyries. - Ex-urban centers of the ex-empire fight with assassination and intrigue. - Magocracy in the west. - Western empire has fallen, instant ruins. - Tsars & steppes (because steppe means east means faux-russia means tsars, right?). Really, we need more creative campaign settings, and the authors are top-notch. But i cannot see yet what makes this setting special & different. Can somebody more in the know chime in? [/QUOTE]
