This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What makes Midgard, as a setting, cool is that the writers don't use western medieval Europe as it's historical basis. It's much more historical eastern European instead, and I think it shows in how the setting was designed.

And there's also Southlands - the setting book for Midgard equivalent of Africa, also really excellent one.
"Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon."

"And I will strike down upon thee
With great vengeance and furious anger"

"Molti Nemici, Molto Onore"

Well Darrin, I'm glad you've found a new hobby horse besides Hero System to display your complete lack of understanding of any kind of nuance.  I'll drop out here over to the side and watch the inevitable train wreck unfold, yet again.

The Hero System is dead. There is nothing about it to talk about anymore. The company killed it dead.

I spoke to Michael Surbrook before he died. He had proposed and was ready to fund a new, simplified version of Champions. But the company wanted to charge him a $1000 licensing fee for the privilege. But then at the last minute, they pulled out and instead went with Ron Edwards to make Champions Now.

Michael Surbrook gave up on the Hero System. Called it a dead system. And he was working with Evil Beagle Games to make a bunch of his library of books to be compatible with Prowlers & Paragons. But that all fell apart when he died.

I've moved on,

For the record, I am NOT dead.

Not sure what you'd want to prove this is not a hoax account... unless you want my posts on FB, Twitter, and my activity on some Discord servers.

This means that for the first time ever, TBP has provided bad information. Landmark moment.

  I mean, it appears someone said you were dead, and you were not.  OR you have come back from the dead, in which case this would be the best thread ever.

I wonder if they were thinking of Mike Satran? But ha passed a few years back.

  I was pretty sure you weren't, and am glad to hear it.

  Neither is your HERO System involvement, judging from the herogames.com homepage.
