I've been running Midnight for three months as chronicled in my Story Hour. It has been a great game and I like their rules changes to magic and their class choices. The book is well-written with nice choices and particularly nice rules for Racial benefits AND somethign neat called Heroic...

The first game started with Karhoun and the Elf and the Gnome. Then in Whitecliff they were seperated. As fate would have it, the Elf and Gnome's players couldn't make it to the game, haven't been able to get there since. So, the game has become about Karhoun, which I think has made it much...

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben Story Post # 25 Shadow’s Insurgents Kahan, the Oruk Warchief, waited until his warband moved a league or more away before he spoke me, Valanicia and the slaves. He was an eloquent liar, “I am a member of a secret society, the Order of the White Hand. We are a...

Val was always played by KK, who oddly enough, is girlfriend and mother of JJ (player of Karhoun)'s son. I still consider it nearly a solo, as KK might not be able to make it regularly due to work schedule conflicts but she knows she is welcome at the Midnight gaming table any time.

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben Story Post #25 Hunting the Channeler Simnote, the demon, wore the hawk like a cloak, sat easily inside its body. The hawk perched on my wrist, hawking glove keeping my hand from being scratched by its claws. Astirax are special demons, bred by Izrador to smell...

Thanks, Kestrel, welcome to the fold. The Esben clan is in the book. They don't give you much info on them but with published settings I am big on inspiration over information. They gave me just enough on the Esben family to inspire me. Once JJ agreed to make Karhoun an Esben I really got...

Congrats, Keith. Hopefully, some time before next year's Gen Con (or even AT next year's Gen Con) we will get to read your one page blurb that got your foot in the door to the PRIZE. I am as interested in the process of this contest as I am in the world itself. Until then, the trolls will...

Avatar V, I have a similiar situation with my girlfriend. She loves fantasy novels, having devoured most of the major works in her youth and still reading Martin and Potter's more current fantasy stuff. She had one bad experience with D&D and is hesitant to give it another try...but it seems...

I sent some entries into the WOTC Setting Contest. I am eager to see the guy who won. Maybe we should wait until this thing comes out, when we have some textual evidence, THEN we can have a nasty thread in which people call each other names for having different opinions. :D

Thanks for the pimp, Emi. Yeah, Midnight is a well-wrought world with really interesting alternate classes that help create the feel of the setting. I don't believe it was a WOTC Setting Competition nominee but the author did have a setting make it to the final 11 and that will be published...

A friendly bump for my fellow Midnighter. Always face north when you Pray so better to have your prayers answered by the Shadow.

I really need to post a long overdue thanks to Jim for buying this setting as a present for me. I honestly probably wouldn't have picked up this worldbook for myself. I hate published settings. Making up a world is more than half of the fun for me but Jim got me this anyway and I am entirely...

The Ballad of Karhoun Esben Story Post #24 A Return to Killing Strength Still in agony from the mauling I took from the Manticore, I had trouble standing from my kneeling position. Father bade me to my rooms, where Orengar the Fat would tend to my wounds. One of Durgen’s sailors helped me...

Thanks, Darthor, I appreciate the praise. It ain't MY Midnight. Once you buy that book, once you open it at your gaming table and begin running it, it is YOUR Midnight and that is why it is so much fun. Thanks for reading.

Story Post #23 Dreams of Hope and Nightmarish Realities I slept deep and had dreams of hope and heroism after the slaying of the Manticore. But the sun has risen on another day and Izrador is still the only God answering prayers; there is work to be done. Last night I was so filled with...

Rock on. Someone saying something nice...about a company? Wow. Fantastic. Adding to the Paizo Publishing Love-Fest here is a link to my Dungeon/Polyhedron Pick Two Mini-Games Out of a Hat Game: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56870

I am basically thinking to myself how I could run D&D without twinking it AT ALL. If I ran it straight out of the book with no variant rules or anything of the sort. Just door-kickin' and treasure seekin' but with a soul. Anyone else have any ideas?

Ritualistic Dungeon Crawling Life is ritual and ritual is life. You have just finished your training and it is time to enter the Dungeon. Your Dungeon was chosen carefully to compliment and challenge your Party. Before the Rogue enters the Dungeon she must steal one of the city's treasures...

I just read some ENworld reviews of Dungeon World. Seems pretty close to what I posted. Thanks for the heads up.
