Kobold Press' MIDGARD Campaign Setting For 5E & Pathfinder

Over on Kickstarter, Kobold Press has launched an updated version of their Midgard campaign setting for D&D 5th Edition and the Pathfinder RPG. It's already funded, and consists of a 300+ page campaign setting book, plus separate supplemental books for each game system, and a book of short 5E adventures. For those not already familiar with Midgard, it has been around for a few years in various incarnations, and describes itself as "a world of dark roads and deep magic, firmly rooted in European myths and legends". You'll find the Kickstarter here.

​

There are a few options for backers. Most people seem to be going for the 5E Basic Books Combo for $80 so far, which gets you the campaign setting hardcover, the Heroes Handbook hardcover, and the PDF versions of each. There's a lot more info about Midgard over here on Kobold Press' website.

I was kind of waiting for this as I have the Southland/Midland and Unusual Heroes PDFs. Probably just pick it up on Amazon later.

I did ask my players about a campaign setting that is not FR and after getting the great Tome of Beasts I do not think this will be a hard sell. Might see id each player will put in $50.

Very excited for this, Tome of Beasts was awesome.

Those things you have been asking for

I was about to post a link...

Based on all the gripping you see here on ENWorld I think what is important is that there will be a full 5E compatible setting book, and player book, and short adventures. All those. And all from a company with lots of 5E experience.

More D&D experience than the core WotC team, by far...

Very happy about this.

Yeah I've gone for the full faux leather set. Mainly if I am going to be paying 40 bucks shipping I want it to be a lower percentage, and I did the same for ToB! C'mon the stretch goals!

Looks like a great 5E setting with plenty of options!

I've been impressed with everything that Kobold Press has done in 5e. Tome of Beasts is a hightlight! I've already put in my pledge for this product!
Funded and first two stretch goals unlocked!
