Run properly, with the right group of players, it makes for an INCREDIBLE setting. The games we have played were really fantastic.

Well, nobody said I wasn't the party leader...

Thanks for the input! And welcome to ENWorld!

That's more or less what I've already done, except that I've talked to the other players individually. None of them care, so long as everyone is having fun. I'm really just here looking for ideas.

There's a lot to reply to here, so I'm going to take it a bit at a time. Removing the possibility of death does remove a major setting element. Yet, reducing the likelyhood of PC death does not inherently do so. I'm not sure what your gaming group is like, but in my group, I have a number...

We haven't had a PC death yet, but we've only played through Crown of Shadow. We came close once, and go figure it was the player who this thread is about. But I'm going to run it as an extended campaign now, so this is more of a concern. It depends on how you want to run it. You can run it...

Quiet! You clearly have no business gaming at all, so you're no longer welcome here.

Something tells me that if all of my answers to problems at the game table were as well thought out as that, I wouldn't have anyone left to game with, and I'd deserve it. "Blackleaf! Noooooo!"

Ah, my mistake then. Sorry Diaglo... I do get a bit touchy about that, as there are those who would (and do) suggest such things not in jest. If the mistake is mine, however (which it would appear that it is), I apologize.

See, but that's the thing. I don't have to worry about that, because he won't. He's a solid enough roleplayer that he can separate out what his character would and wouldn't risk. The reward for him isn't the shiny new ring of wizardry that his character gets (as if any character in Midnight...

Yes, well... that's not really even worth commenting on, is it? See, I think you're wrong there. I think he likes the idea of a fatalistic setting, and he likes the idea that his character can attempt to overcome the odds in such a setting. IC he is totally into that. OOC, though, he simply...

Okay, time for me to ask for some advice. I run Midnight for a group of 5 people. The group switches games back and forth so that we don't all have to run all of the time. It's a great group, and I have no complaints about any of them. Here's the thing, though. One of the players isn't...

The Book of Erotic Fantasy!

Heh... Great title!

Darmanicus: If you can't respond to my comments without resorting to obscenities then you're obviously not able to control yourself well enough for me to continue this conversation with you. It's clearly not worth the effort.

Actually, Darmanicus, it would appear that you are the one who did not read the post properly: Now, you may not agree with Aero's definition of "friend," but that's irrelevant. He considers this person a friend, and is looking for a comfortable, kind way to resolve the situation. Actually...

Ditto here. Trust me. I know from experience. Stick to the core stuff for your first trips into the world of the DM. You'll regret it later if you don't and it is distinctly possible that DMing will leave a bad taste in your mouth, even though it isn't necessary.

The reason for the race restrictions is that we're going to be playing Hamlet of Thumble, run by a new GM. I wanted to try something new, but then again, I have the concern that I may be totally useless if the module or GM prove to be hack & slash centric. Would I perhaps be better off going...

I'm trying to create a first-level bard. I've never made a bard before, so I don't really know how to make him useful. I have a 30-point buy, and he has to be a gnome, dwarf or halfling. Those are pretty much my only restrictions. I've seen guides for creating Druids, Barbarians, Rogues and...

We'll be staying at the Marriott, no thanks to the ****ty GenCon registration system. We booked rooms outside of the system, though. Nowhere near $300 a night, but still more expensive than I wanted them to be. Oh well... such is life.
