Anyone playing the Midgard Campaign?


Product Discussion

I just purchased the Midgard Campaign setting by Kobold Press and I love it. Who all plays in the Midgard setting.
What are your favorite supplements for it?
What kind of character are you playing?
Anyone planning on getting Southlands?

I am trying to decide what race to play. I am thinking on a Gearforged from Zobeck.
Any suggestions?
Once Southlands comes out I am gonna play a werelion.


You sound like a player after my own heart, but I'm fairly biased.

If you're loving Zobeck, then I would look at the Crossroads Gazetteer, and possibly Streets of Zobeck (but Streets is much grittier). Spiraling out from there, I'd look at Tales of the Old Margreve, Dwarves of the Ironcrags (even though it's 3.5, it's mostly setting material and any conversion would be very light), and the Imperial Gazetteer-- which covers the Principalities of Morgau and Doresh.

Remember, with a gearforged, it's someone who lived a life, and then entered a mechanical body. Personally, I run more than I get to play there, but I will admit a soft spot for Coowak, the iconic huginn sorcerer-- it's the hat, mainly.

Advanced Races: Ravenfolk did just get an update recently, and they make good scoundrel-villains as well as good PCs.

Gearforged is an excellent option, for a fairly high-powered campaign (they get a lot of good immunities). Kobold Press is working on updating Advanced Races: Gearforged to include scaling power levels, in case your game is not high on the starting power level.

I've used midgard for my home game that has run for the last 5 years, planting the dungeonaday dungeon north of Morgau and Doresh. My group has loved Zobeck, adventured beneath a cursed citadel in the Ironcrags, and dealt with the devious shadow fay when not exploring the dungeon. A really cool world, and worth looking into.

Favorite supplements:
Guide to Zobeck
Streets of Zobeck
Halls of the Mountain King (not available currently)
Courts of the Shadow Fay.

I'm an unabashed Midgard fan. I've converted all of my Pathfinder campaigns over to it and currently have 3 ongoing campaigns set there. The primary campaign is set in the Canton of Melana, the second is in the Zobeck region, and the third is currently on an island in the western ocean but will be moving to the Southlands.

I'm the GM of the campaigns but the PC composition of the main campaign is as follows:

Human male fighter/rogue
Gearforged male fighter
Human male slayer
Gnome male alchemist
Gearforged male ranger/sorcerer
Tengu male magus
Dwarf male gunslinger

My players absolutely love Midgard. As a GM, the setting resonates with me in a way that few others have and is perhaps the only setting where I wanted to run a campaign in every region.

Thanks for the list of supplement. The concept for my group is a mercenary/vigilante gang. So far it looks like it will be a gearforged fighter, a kobold (class undecided, but will be using one of the archetypes from Advanced Races: Kobolds), and a tiefling (demon-marked I believe they are called in midgard) rogue.

I will look into guide to Zobek and Streets of Zobeck for sure, and will expand to surrounding areas if my group feels like expanding.

Thanks again.


Glad to be of help. It's a great world!

The Werelion player guide is already available.

I used bits and pieces of Midgard in my homebrew mashup. Particularly the Baba Yaga and gnome stuff. It fit in fantastically with running the Reign of Winter Adventure path.

I'm partial to their Wasted West area. It is not Deadlands, but I love the post archmage apocalypse land with mutated tribes of goblins in the shadow of multiple mostly time stopped Cthulhu mythos Old Ones who were summoned as MAD in a mage war.

Shadow Fey Courts are pretty appealing to me as well as their Grimm fairy tale style Old Woods.

I'm looking forward to getting my kickstarter Southlands books.

I'm running a campaign using it now. I LOVE the setting. It has a lot of flavor and is different enough from traditional D&D worlds. I like the Maegreve supplement a LOT. I think it gives a lot of flavor to Midgard and there's tons of adventure ideas in it apart from the adventures in the book.

I'm not playing a character just running. But if I played I'd probably make a shadow fey rogue or bard.

I did the Southlands Kickstarter. The characters in my game are traveling back to Zobek from the Maegrave so eventually I might work the Southalands stuff in there. The characters are 4th level and I'm working them up to 7th to run a certain adventure set in Zobek...
