[QUOTE="Krieg, post: 1357982, member: 5282"] Mechanically DarkLore shares a lot with D20 Modern. There are six basic classes based off of the six primary attributes. Said classes are geared more towards a "medieval" campaign than a modern hi-tech one. Instead of Fast, Tough, Smart & Charismatic heroes you get Warriors, Thieves, Scholars, Devoted, Chosen & Outlanders w/requisite talent trees that allow you to model the "core" classes (Fighter, Ranger, Paladin, Bard, Wizard, Sorcerer, Rogue, Barbarian & Monk). There are also 3 lvl prestige...err "career" classes that help a player more narrowly define his character (Berserker, Burglar, Assassin, Archer, Scout, Defender, Wizard's apprentice, novice Sorcerer, Initiate of the True Hand etc). From a campaign standpoint the world of DarkLore (Krynas) is one that suffers eternal twilight & chaotic storms as a result of a war involving the gods some 500 years in the past. The introduction opens with... I haven't paid that much attention on the setting as I was primarily interested in the product for it's variant rules so I can't give too much info on it. There are some things about the product that didn't overhwhelm me...a plethora of sub-races, the writing could use some work etc...but all in all it's an excellent source of ideas. You really might want to take a look at Midnight as well, while the details may be a bit different than your campaign, the general atmosphere is VERY similar. Reading your description immediately brought two films to mind.... American Werewolf in London & Tim Burton's adaptation of Sleepy Hollow ...both films feature small rural villages with inhabitants that would drop right into your setting! :) [/QUOTE]
