I've just started reading Night Watch and have been struck by how it would make a great setting for Monte Cook's World of Darkness (MCWoD). While not a perfect fit, there are lots of similarities with the "Others" from the book and the MCWoD classes. The only real divergence is that the Others...

Even saying this feels like I'm saying too much . . . just keep playing ;)

I already have the Black Company - a great book! Currently reading the compendium of the Books of the South! I think of the Midnight books as complementary!

Charles may have answered my question already but did OGL fail? My perception is that WotC made an awful lot of money out of 3.xE D&D and had 4E been released under OGL would have made an awful lot more. In this context I can only assume that WotC assessed the risk of GSL (and subsequent...

I've been reading through the Midnight 2E rulebook and I have to say there are strong parallels with the Black Company if you tried to play a campaign under the rule of the Dominator. The similarities are: Domintator - Izrador The Ten Who Were Taken - The Night Kings The White Rose - Witch...

What I hope doesn't happen is that Belkar dies after infecting the only cleric in the place able to cast resurection who then casts it on Belkar (in a bewildered state) rather than Roy and then dies!

Sounds great - which is the best supplement for depicting a human-orientated region?

Mongoose have published a version of Slaine using the D&D 3E ruleset (which I have and is very good) and a new version using Mongoose RuneQuest (which from reviews sounds OK but with inferior production quality to the original 3E version).

The rules are a customised version of the Mongoose RuneQuest ruleset and are compatible with the parent system and each other. From what I remember the game worlds aren't mechanically (from a rules perspective) tied together but Magic of the Young Kingdoms does mention other worlds in the...

Thanks again! I was wondering if you knew if the setting is currently unsupported? Is there any signs that they'll continue with 3.5E or convert to 4E? Cheers!

Thanks Hstio! Please could you expand a little on why the boxed set is so good?

Thanks Histio - based on the blurb City of Shadow sounds quite interesting so it's good to know it's actually not very good! Please can you expand a little on your description of Sorcery and Shadow? Cheers!

Thanks johnnype! How about Sorcery and Shadow and Steel and Shadow - how do they rate as "class books" compared to the more generic WotC equivalents? Are City of Shadow and Hand of Shadow complementary? Both appear to cover "evil" characters in the setting. How useful is Fury of Shadow the...

I'd just like to point out that in its day 1E AD&D was (and for many people still is) an exceptional game . . . but I appreciate your point! ;)

Thanks for the replies - looks like my next purchase is decided! :D

I'm getting the 4E giftset for my birthday on the 16 June and my main thoughts are around using it as a source of ideas to enhance our ongoing 3.5E game. Don't get me wrong I am prepared to be convinced that it is a better game and will run a few games to see how the new edition works in play...

Hi! I'm thinking of picking up the Midnight 2nd Edition rulebook and wondered what people's thought were on how good it is. I'm quite keen on the grim and gritty milieu (I already have the excellent Thieves World from Green Ronin). Also, I beleive the 2nd edition rulebook contains some of the...

Really very sad news indeed. The original Thieves World Anthologies are a classic work - particularly the first 5 books.

Some people have bought the Serenity RPG for details of the Firefly universe and then used either d20 Traveller or Star Wars SAGA Edition for the rules.
