[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1494109, member: 14403"] I'm using Midnight and I love it. You ought to check it out. 1) It is fairly new, there are only 5 books out (well, 4 and a module) so it won't be too hard to get caught up. 2) VERY unique setting, the gods have been separated from the Prime so there is no divine magic. Totally new Channelling magic system that makes sense. Wizards and Druids are newly written Prestige Classes (not the same as Core Classes). Several totally new Basic Classes as the only core classes allowed are Barbarian, Rogue, and Fighter. 3) Evil is the dominant power. The only god in the lands is the god of evil and he was cast out of the heavens many thousands of years ago and is imprisoned on the Prime. 4) No super powerful NPCs to steal the limelight away from the PCs (this is one thing that always bothered me about Forgotten Realms). 5) 3 races of Humans (finally!!!). Only Fey races may interbreed so no Half-Elves, or Half-Orcs though there is a Dworg (Dwarf/Orc), Elfling (Halfling/Elf), and Dwarrow (Dwarf/Gnome). All the races have had changes which make sense for the setting, I don't have enough time to list them all. The best way to imagine Midnight is to imagine what would have happened in Lord of the Rings if Sauron had found Frodo, gotten his ring back, defeated the combined armies, and covered the lands in darkness. Weapons, armor, magic, and writing are all illegal punishable by death. It is published by Fantasy Flight and there is a great deal of Fan Support. A free netbook has already been posted. You can get more details on the setting at the main page.
