That becomes railroading.<br /><br />Stack the odds against the characters, but when they survive and grow in power, let them be epic. It's a setting that lends itself to big deeds.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031181424520125213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-80428404014056374392011-02-03T13:40:44.996-05:002011-02-03T13:40:44.996-05:00I posted something like this on the LL forums.

FFG did an excellent job on a what if scenario. It would be a lot of fun to run a similar old school style campaign. The only problem that I had when playing Midnight back in the day is that it can get somewhat oppresive if there is no sense of hope in the setting.Xyanthonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07902260753434100101noreply@blogger.com
