First a request, then a bit more background information, then some more areas to ponder: 1. If anyone has an interest in playing an elf, probably a Caransil, though the other races can work too, let me know. I have a potential background embellishment in mind. Note that I don't _have_ to have...

One more quick extra bit of information before going to sleep. Someone mentioned literacy being forbidden. The following are major crimes under The Shadow's rule: 1. Literacy 2. Carrying weapons 3. Using magic 4. Being a Fey (specifically Elves, Halflings and Dwarves - Gnomes have something...

ifspuds: Not at all! Develop joint concepts as desired... darnoff: The only clerics in the game are Izrador's, since divine magic can only come from him on Aryth (due to The Sundering, the event when he was thrown out of heaven and drew a veil between Aryth and the heavens). Therefore, the...

A bit more character creation guidance. Don't worry about coming up with a background and fully fleshed character before chatting with me about it. What I really want in the first communication about it is: 1. Race(s) of interest. 2. General theme(s) of interest (fighter, spell user...

One other note... Izrador's victory occurred 99 years ago. This means that humans for the most part can't hear 'first hand' accounts of the events while the Fey races can (being much longer lived). The kinds of despair the two groups deal with are different too. Humans have grown up and...

Tailspinner, at the moment I have a 'full' group (6-7 players) of probable players. I'll put you on the waiting list in case someone drops out, and of course if you feel like playing the role of an NPC (as I mentioned in the first post) I'll be happy to contact you when that aspect of the...

By the way, tentative time frame for all this: About a month to get set up. I'm not going to rush into the campaign itself due to a possibly hectic early next month (minor possibility of a move from one location to another). This should give y'all time to work up the characters, backgrounds...

I would say that general questions here are fine, but I'd kind of prefer people not to become privy to information known only to or by a specific race. :) And welcome!

People can now post...

Getting Started Ok... I said I'd do all this on the weekend. I got a bit ahead of myself. The first step of course will be to create a character. Given that most players don't have the Midnight Sourcebook, what we're going to do is a bit different than standard character generation. I'm...

General Information Ok, so how is this going to work? First of all I'll describe what I want from the players: 1. Prefer roleplay over rollplay. 2. No rules lawyers. If I get something 'wrong', let me know. If I made a mistake I'll correct it if possible. If I didn't make a mistake due to...

Materials used Midnight (1st Edition) Against the Shadow AD&D D20 Player's Handbook (3.0) AD&D D20 Dungeon Master's Guide (3.0) Various and sundry Midnight sourcebooks and monster collections. Players should NOT purchase the above if they don't have them already, for two reasons: 1. I like...

My first request here is please do not post to this topic until I finish my introductory posts. Thanks! Also, I have a group already more or less ready to go, so at the moment I will not be taking new players. However, I plan to allow 'guest NPCs' down the road. More on that later. Now, for...

I know they still have a website, but the last update is over a year old. Anybody know if they're still planning to come up with more material in their Sun and Scale world? It's one of those settings that on the surface isn't overly different but has the twist of the players being involved in...

dropshadow, Sounds interesting! I have a friend that I call a 'psychocoder' from her MUSH days (text RPGs). I'm trying desperately to hook her on NWN so I can take advantage of her coding abilities to do things just like you're talking about. I have no doubt she could do the kinds of things...

Turin, I don't know if you caught my post a bit downstream on this page. I'm trying to set up a Midnight Campaign here in Falmouth. At the moment I'm not overly interested in doing 3E as a player (too many other things I'm doing at the moment) but have some pretty good concepts for a Midnight...

Still trying to get together a group for this. I have a 'campaign outline' document to send anyone interested.

As a DM how do you handle movement on a square grid? Since a diagonal movement is actually longer than 5 feet (assuming 5 feet per square) and shorter than moving two squares to get to that spot, do you count a diagonal move as 1.5 x 5 feet (7.5 feet)? Or do you use rulers to get total...
