Titolo: [OT?]midnight: introduzione per i giocatori

Dato che qualcuno (scusate se non ricordo chi) sembrava interessato,
riporto di seguito una velocissima introduzione a questa bellissima
ambientazione:
Intro to Midnight: Players
Whether you’re new to the scene or a veteran of the RPG, Midnight will give
you 
the basis for endless adventure in a dark fantasy setting!
Imagine, if you will, the Greyhawk™ setting where the Temple of Elemental
Evil® 
is a controlling power in the land, with Iuz and Zuggtmoy smiting all foes 
before them. Or, if in the Forgotten Realms™, that the Red Wizards and 
Zhentarim have joined forces with the Phaerimm and have just defeated the 
Cormyrian-Dalelands Alliance, and the forces of Amn have reportedly given
their 
allegiance to the new power in Toril®. Better yet, imagine a Middle-Earth™ 
where Frodo was captured, tortured, and killed – and the One Ring returned
to 
the hand of Sauron, covering all the lands in a second Darkness … and you
might 
come just a little bit close to Midnight!
Enter a world which knows no other divine force than that of the Dark God, 
Izrador, the Shadow in the North. His might is in his millions of orcs and 
other foul minions, his power revealed to the scattered, broken peoples by
his 
Chosen, his clergy, the Legates. Izrador rules all, and will tolerate no 
challenges to his authority. Magic is outlawed. Weapons and armor are
outlawed. 
Possessing any of these will get you killed on the spot. Are you happiest
when 
you play an elf or dwarf? Don’t let an orc see you – or any of the
subjugated 
humans, either, for that matter – your kind is also killed on sight, with 
rewards (food) going to those that turn you in!
Twice before in ages past, alliances of men, elves, and dwarves rose up to
stop 
Izrador’s conquest of the lands of Eredane. Twice before, they made narrow
but 
costly victories. But as is the way in all things, the third time was the
charm 
– and now all of the lands are subjugated to his dark will.
Into this bleak and foreboding world, your characters can try to eke out an 
existence. Survival is not easy, especially when one of your biggest
problems 
is where your next meal will come from! Will you be one of the last of the
Fey, 
an elf, hiding in your forest, while your people fight and die on its
borders 
against the ever-encroaching forces of the Shadow? Will you be a Dorn, 
Sarcosan, or Erenlander – humans of different nationality, who have lost
hope 
and lost their cities to Traitor Princes from within? Or will you play a 
Halfling – a member of an entire race that once knew gaiety and magic, 
descended from the Fey like the elves – now subjugated to the last as
slaves 
for the Shadow’s armies, mines, and Legates? Will you die, your corpse
rising 
as one of the growing number of Fell - soulless undead horrors that crave 
living flesh?
Hope is not lost entirely, however! Each and every Player-Character chooses
a 
Heroic Path when they begin, and as they rise in level, more powers and 
abilities become theirs to wield. The blood of heroes, kings, even dragons, 
flow through the veins of some, while the lineage of Outsiders and
Elementals 
manifests in others. Who knows what could be dormant in the body of your
PC?
So, enter Midnight, player, if you dare …
Sto seriamente pensando di mettere in piedi un sitarello internet per gli
italiani che volessero sfruttare questo affascinante setting... che ve ne
pare?

 pare?
Mi pare un'ottima idea... presto mi procurerò l'ambientazione che pare molto
carina...
e giustamente frustrante per i giocatori :-)
