Message: <blockquote data-quote="gambler1650" data-source="post: 850312" data-attributes="member: 11033">Thanks for the picking up of the Martin wondering and running with it.  It's been awhile since I read the first two books in the series and I've held off on the last one so far (I kind of want to get at least two new ones to read at once since I rarely remember what happens in a previous book even a few months later).  I only really remembered  the wall, and the feel of the undead being sorta similar to those items in Midnight.   The Game of Thrones is really reasonably standard fantasy with a unique writing twist (many different characters, and most have varying levels of good and evil in them, and you tend to like most of them even if they're on opposite 'sides).  So it's not surprising that many of the elements in it could be traced to Tolkein too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  For non-standard Fantasy, try Anne Bishop's Dark Jewels series (my plug to get more folks to read it).Back to Midnight... Everyone involved with this book should be very proud of themselves.  It truly is the best put together, self contained sourcebook I've seen in a long time.  Running a Midnight campaign really needs nothing else than this book, though I'm sure I'll get most if not all of the supplements as long as the same level of quality is maintained (just don't fall prey to Jordanitis! - dragging out material that becomes more long winded and wastes the promise of the beginning - my opinion anyhow of Robert Jordan).  Simply put, this is the first D20 sourcebook I've read more or less start to finish with only a couple of breaks to flip through other supplements.  And I've never gone through an entire sourcebook in just three days. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> The only immediate wants I have is a separate PDF for the map (or at least a pullout version of it in the next supplement) and a PDF character sheet.  Oh, and one more want is... I want more Midnight! When's "Against the Shadow" coming out? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
