[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 985099, member: 5868"] LOL. The reason Midkemia seems so much like a D&D world is it IS a D&D World! See the "Who We Are" page at [url=http://www.midkemia.com/]Midkemia.com[/url] for the background. Midkemia started as a homebrewed campaign world for OD&D (likely the 1974 version of the rules). As the group (which included Raymond Feist) developed theit world, they focused more on many of the RP and world-building aspects of the game than other groups, and eventually diverged from D&D, developing their own rules, and eventually their own game setting and publications (and computer games, etc, through Midkemia Press). Feist -- who eventually separated from the group to write full time -- turned much of what he'd been a part of into his extremely successful writing. Midkemia may have changed game systems, but I'd say that given the common roots, it's still very close to D&D (and would probably translate well to d20).
