Message: <blockquote data-quote="Calico_Jack73" data-source="post: 1520181" data-attributes="member: 14403">Let me list the many ways I love Midnight:1) Magic is RARE: A high level character is only likely to have one or two magic items.  Even then, many characters won't keep them.  Magic items can be tracked at great distances by the forces of evil and can so lead to the party's doom.2) Evil is victorious: The Dark God has won and is now squashing all resistance.  The PCs can't expect any help and are the last hope for a rapidly dying world.  Commoners are more likely to turn in the PCs for a reward of food than to shelter them and possibly be arrested (or worse) for it.3) Lots of new classes: The only 3 core classes that are playable are Rogues, Barbarians, and Fighters.  This is to reflect that there is only one source of divine magic (the Dark God) and that it is a "magic rare" setting.There are a lot of other reasons I love it but my fingers are getting tired.  If you aren't familiar with Midnight imagine it as Middle Earth if Sauron had found and killed Frodo, recovered his ring, and smashed the armies that rose against him.</blockquote>
