MIDNIGHT – Legacy of Darkness
by James M. F. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/08/2022 21:04:36

I love this product.

I love Midnight in general, when I first read the 3rd edition books I felt like I'd discovered one of the greatest settings ever and many ways that feeling is still with me. Legacy of Darkness is not the same book as those I read all those years ago but it does what its designed to do. It gives you a beautifully detailed world at the very edge of ruin, one your players will struggle agianst and, hopefully, take the lead in saving. With fantasticly immersive art and new mechanics designed to give characters a boost in a world where they'll need any they can get, I can't recomend this high enough to someone who wants to expand their collection or try a new setting entirely.

A book doesn't need 72 new subclasses or a dozen new races to be worth the price, what it needs is a story worth reading and this has it.

MIDNIGHT – El Legado de las Tinieblas
by Joaquín H. G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/06/2022 13:19:40
  1. Me ha gustado muchísimo, soy fan de Dark Sun y esperaba una ambientación de este estilo, oscura y opresiva, con un tinte post apocalíptico para D&D5.
  2. La ambientación es muy completa, tienes toda la información del continente de Eredane y la historía del mundo para montar una campaña.
  3. Lo que echo en falta es una aventura introductoría, ya que cómo el tono de las partidas van a diferir mucho de las clásicas partidas de mazmorreo, hubiese estado bien algo de lo que partir a modo de ejemplo. Es que desde los niveles más bajos los pjs son gente destinada a combatir al mal supremo y da la sensación que te predispone a una campaña larga con tramas enrevesadas de conspiración e intriga. Aún así, este punto queda salvado por la increible cantidad de páginas dedicadas a desmenuzar la politica e historia, así cómo el modo de vida, región por región, sin olvidar por supuesto, a todos los malotes que controlan el mundo, en esto es muy extenso.
  4. No le pongo la máxima nota porque en cuanto a clases de pj se queda bastante corto. Los clérigos y los monjes no son una opción directamente debido al trasfondo de midnight, por lo que hubiese estado bien que el resto de clases tuviesen arquetipos propios de este mundo apocalíptico dónde el mal ha triunfado y la magia está proscrita. Me da a mi que eso vendrá en suplementos posteriores, por lo menos en el libro principal podrían haber metido alguna cosa...eso no mola.

MIDNIGHT – Legacy of Darkness
by Jordane [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/06/2022 11:36:21

This is one of the laziest conversion I have seen:

  • The lore and background are pretty light in comparison to the original core book.
  • All the half breed races are missing
  • Barely any heroic path and they give gift only every 4 levels instead of every level
  • None of the new classes (prestige and core) are here
  • The alternate casting method is not here either. Midnight is a great setting, because it also supported by very flavorful gameplay mechanics, basically none of that is here.

MIDNIGHT – Legacy of Darkness
by Naïm U. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/03/2022 03:29:27

Midnight is a dark setting but the dark side is so heavy that sometimes it's a bit hard to believe. Everything is dark, nobody is happy, everybody is starving in a gloomy land, being an elf or a dwarf means you'll be killed on sight ... I guess I was waiting for something maybe more subtle, with an evil that could seduce people to make them believe that Izrador is the right way (like in the video game Tyranny) but here Izrador is just an invincible force of evil that tortures, uses and oppresses people. That would make me think if I was in this world "no food, no hope, no other gods ? why bother living ? "
The rules also are very light and it's a big problem. We're supposed to create characters that can fight the Shadow but without noticeable armor or weapons (they are forbidden) and without flashy magic. The rules won't help : no subclasses that would provide "unarmored defense", brawling skills (you have to pay a feat for this), discreet magic or some capacities that can help to fight back, ... Or maybe the intention was to play only in wilderness where you will have to hit-and-run all your life ? no urban adventures, hidden among the population ? Also some feats are a bit weird like "You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to grapple a creature who cannot see you" which is already the case in the basic rules ... The rest is good, the book is well-written, the images are inspiring, the forces of shadow are ennemies your players will hate with a passion, breaking a black mirror is already an awesome quest plot ... hence the 3/5

Well done for 5e. Look forward to more material and classes. I intend to run in concert with LevelUps Advanced 5e.
I would recommend to the publisher to execute on a campaign for your next product offering in the Midnight line. It could be broken into parts so that players can get into the world and adventuring sooner rather than later.

Awakened Age: Superhero Genesys Setting
by Matthew M. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/20/2022 23:07:57

Disclaimer: I playtested this material.

This is the best of the pack for Genesys supers. The way evertything fits together is well-considered and there was a lot of work put into making sure everything fits the right tones and doesn't overcomplicate superheroes.

Zynnythryx's Guide to Magic: A Beginner's Guide to Genesys Magic
by Lucas A. G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/20/2022 02:56:11

The addition of the Psychic skill and Mind spell is very valuable, especially when creating "evil sorcerer" characters! Excellent value for money, even if the other spells have somewhat more limited applications.

Skills Guide: Skills Supplement for Genesys
by Jack S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/30/2022 20:17:40

Very simply the best supplement on the Foundry. Incredibly thorough, it thoroughly expands on every single skill in the Core Rulebook in great detail. It has multiple symbol results tables for each skill, a bevy of interesting new rules, and helpful guidance on selecting skills for your setting. Particularly interesting are some great rules to clarify and make use of Knowledge skills, which are so often ambiguous. It also has wonderful presentation and production values - it would benefit from a round of proofreading to help with translation errors in grammar, but that's extremely minor. If that were fixed, this would deserve to be bound and sold in a store as an official Genesys product.

I would rate this second only to the Core Rulebook for anyone interested in playing Genesys. It's that good.

BOOST #1: Mutation
by Jack S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/28/2022 12:35:34

A tidy little supplement. I know it was the first BOOST, so I'm not suprised that it's the smallest. An archetype, some talents, a few weapons, and a couple of adversaries. I really enjoy the narrative and mechanics around the lobster mutants. I think the talents are a little messy - a Tier 2 that gives automatic Triumphs on a huge number of skills seems wildly overpowered, even with the built in trade-off. It seems oddly min-maxy for Genesys.

This strikes me as more of a proof-of-concept for BOOST than anything else. The later BOOSTs are all an improvement in both quantity and quality.

BOOST #3: Deep Dive
by Jack S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/28/2022 12:32:07

This is a solid supplement for underwater adventures. The gear is interesting, and there are rules for how to handle underwater movement and combat in more depth. There are actually two sets of those rules, which is a little odd - I think future BOOSTs would benefit from making similar items in the same supplement more collaborative.

I definitely recommend this if you intend to take a dip beneath the waves (I certainly do, and this will be informative)

KeyForge Noir
by Jack S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/21/2022 21:31:52

Excellent expansion to the Feyforge setting! We played a few sessions in Aembivalence featuring True Face, which was super fun. The results tables for investigations are the real star of the show here, IMO. Tons of interesting and thematic options

Even if you don't play in the Keyforge setting, most of the book is a non-setting specific noir guidebook.

Legend of the Five Rings: Core Rulebook
by Andrew K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/05/2022 13:46:33

Overly complicated garbage. Don't bother buying this book. Dice results can be vague at best, and therefore invite way too much arguing on what the heck happens in the story. You're better off just playing with pure imagination.

Skills Guide: Skills Supplement for Genesys
by Gaël T. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/02/2022 18:03:49

Un PDF qui me sert de bible. Cela m'a permis d'être beaucoup plus dans la narration durant mes parties, et moins dans le côté échec/critique du jeu. J'ai encore un peu de mal avec la perception, mais c'est parce que je tends trop la main aux joueurs, je "force" encore trop souvent ces jets. Sinon j'ai adoré les explications, et chaque exemple. Vivement une version Française. :p :p

L’Appel de Cthulhu - Aux Portes de l’Horreur
by Jibé E. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/28/2022 15:21:50

Assez curieusement, c'est le commentaire précédent qui m'a fait acheter l'ouvrage. L'insupportable râlerie ainsi que le manque de détails sur le livre rendent la lecture de cette précedente review assez pénible. Mais passons, voici donc ce que je retiens d'Aux Portes de l'Horreur : 3 scénarios très courts, relativements basés sur le même schéma (introduction in media res, petite partie investigation sur place qui permet de comprendre ce qui s'est passé, réveil d'une créature et confrontation). C'est calibré pour du one-shot court et à mon avis, ça fait bien le taff. Les cadres sont variés, les prétirés collent aux scénars, il y a quelques aides de jeu (très lisibles, même sur n'importe quel VTT - A l'exception d'une qui savère un peu trop pixélisée pour avoir une lecture vraiment aisée). Voilà, plutôt cool pour débuter, tester ou même simplement lancer une petite partie sans trop de prise de tête.

Ha une dernière chose, l'écriture inclusive n'intérvient que sur quelques pages (celles où l'on présente les pré-tirés), et oui, on parles des joueuSES. Pour le reste, on utilise LE Gardien et les InvestigateuRS. Il y a un encart au début de l'ouvrage qui éxplique très bien ce choix, qui est d'ailleurs développer ici : http://lefix.di6dent.fr/archives/17057
