Re: Anyone play midnight
Didn't see it first time around. I DM'd a fairly long-running midnight campaign.
I think it's a wonderful setting, really captures the heroic feel. The PC's are quite a bit more powerful than the run-of-the-mill D&D PCs, but the DM has many more resources than usual to put the fear of Mizrador in them.
I had one channeler, who just wouldn't stop casting Arcane Mark after every combat, to let the shadow know who was defying them. After the fourth time being attacked by random woodland creatures, while they were on the ru, the rest of the party finally got the idea.
Anyhow, lots of good stuff in there."I was working on a case. It had to be a case, because I couldn't afford a desk. Then I saw her. This tall blond lady. She must have been tall because I was on the third floor. She rolled her deep blue eyes towards me. I picked them up and rolled them back. We kissed. She screamed. I took the cigarette from my mouth and kissed her again."

Re: Anyone play midnight
Lol... starting tomorrow i'll be playing a midnight campaing...
If I only had the books...
I loved wht they did with the classes... Mostly because of the skill points taht are now very, very valuable.
I also liked the Heroic Paths. They are damn good in a world where magic Itens are very rare and there is an almighty dark good roaming around. XDPaladin Review - A Class Balance by me

Re: Anyone play midnight
I had a DM try to run Iron Heroes in Midnight. Believe it or not, this worked poorly, especially as he also removed the fancy character backgrounds with like the healing and stuff.

Re: Anyone play midnight
Yah. That doesn't surprise me that much, actually. It seems like an obvious idea, but it's such a gritty setting (or is presented that way), with the odds so stacked against the PC's that pulling the rug out from under them any more could easily end up being a variation on
1) get captured/tortured 2) escape 3) repeat.
As it was, we interspersed the Midnight game with a more traditional setting. This lightened things up quite a bit. In the Midnight game I ran, the PC's constantly had to make the choice as to whether it was worthwhile to strike, knowing that the Shadow was more powerful and would come down hard on any left behind.
They started a few uprisings, which was very cool, but left a trail of burned villages in their wake, too. It's very dramatic, but can get heavy."I was working on a case. It had to be a case, because I couldn't afford a desk. Then I saw her. This tall blond lady. She must have been tall because I was on the third floor. She rolled her deep blue eyes towards me.

Re: Anyone play midnight
I like it, the high mortality rate appeals to me,
But my group was sick, they started their own group of terriost based after the Middle eastern groups, and usesing those tatics started to destroy the shadow
