[QUOTE="Orias, post: 1037512, member: 8165"] The issue with the bleakness of the setting is a big part. I really enjoy, generally the darker the setting, the more I happen to like it. The thing about Midnight, is that it is indeed limited by it's bleakness. There is so much you can do, & a lot that you cannot. However, it is the perfect setting for what it is presented to be. This may be blasphemous to some of the Midnight fans, but if you stick in a Midnight campaign for a long time, work your characters extremely hard, do all of these great & epic things - I don't see why you couldn't defeat Izrador & the Night Kings. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that you could kill Izrador in a party on him fight. I don't think many, many people could "kill" him, but defeating him is an entirely different matter. He has been defeated twice, & just because he has taken hold on the continent for over a hundred years, doesn't mean that in *your* game you couldn't one day have your legendary characters wrestle control of a good part of the world from him. It's your game, you have limitless possibilities as long as you stick to the theme. One thing that is bad about the setting (perhaps not the setting so much, but the opinions of the people who play it), is the opinions of what you "can't" do. There is always a possibility for everything in a world where magic & fantasy exists, as long as you are true to the themes, threats, & ideas of the setting, you can do a lot. [/QUOTE]
