Midgard Campaign Setting

The World is Ready. Are You?

ennies%202013%20nominee.jpg

Hugo Solis, Key of VelesMidgard is lost in an age of war: of dark wilderness, and lost empires sunk beneath the waves.

Only magic and the warmth of hope keeps lights aglow when dread things prowl, and priestly wardings tremble and bend before the fury of demonic rage.

In this dark time, new heroes must arise to claim the crowns of Midgard, and restore the jewels to her scattered thrones...

The Midgard Campaign Setting brings to life a world of dark fantasy drawn from the great European traditions. Within this book you’ll find ley lines and deep magic; the Western Waste’s giant, shambling horrors and magic-blasted landscapes; diabolical gnomes and the schemes of immortal Baba Yaga.

Mark Smylia, Amazon of Perun

You’ll sail the wind with wild elves and cut through the waves with swashbuckling minotaur corsairs. Midgard is a land of lethal assassins and exotic splendors as well as the empty, dragon-haunted crags of the icy Northlands.

The 298 pages of the Midgard Campaign Setting include:

• New Pathfinder RPG and AGE System rules for gearforged, kobold, and minotaur PCs
26 new backgrounds, 3 new schools of magic and new specialties for AGE System
New clerical domains including Clockwork, Moon, Hunger and Beer
• More than 50 kingdom write-ups, with new feats and traits for each region of Midgard
New spells, magical items, and incantations
New gear and weapons unique to the setting
 The secrets of ley lines and shadow roads!

From the Northern fjords to the hidden tombs of the gnolls, from the raven-headed reavers to the ruins of the great mage-kingdoms: all of Midgard is yours!

Recommended in the WIRED GeekDad Holiday Gift Guide:

"A wonderfully rich and beautiful sourcebook chronicling the world of Midgard. Think of how many game masters have fancied their campaign worlds awesome enough to publish in the book. So few actually have the writing and publishing chops to accomplish this, and to do so with such style is pretty much unheard of."

Is there any particular reason as to WHY I am unable to get BOTH Hardcover AND Premium Color? Usually most purchases are either take softcover and standard OR Hardcover and Premium... not whichever this way it is around. Just Curious before I buy. I REALLY love the Midgard setting so of course as a GM I would love to have the best version for My collection and a cheaper version I can point My players towards.

Hard to say why: this is the 2012 version of the book, when color saturation limits were different, and the POD process was different. Maybe the easiest answer is to pick up the premium color of the revised, 2019 edition via your FLGS or KoboldPress store, and the softcover here?

Thanks for the reply! You said that this is the 2012 version of the book? Does that mean that there is a newer and or better version of this book (updated etc) that is available? and if so, might i get a link for that?

Hello,

I've been trying to print the PDF but I keep getting error messages. I've tried re-downloading it but that hasn't helped. My printer is working properly, and in fact I just printed another of your products (Northlands) without problems. My guess is that there's something wrong with the file itself...?

Why are the standard and premium color POD books the same price? Do you just make more money on the standard print?

The standard paper is a hardcover. The premium paper is a softcover. They work out to the same price, and we make about the same on either version.

I want to buy this, but the main thing i want is the Midgard campaign map. Is a campaign map included in this or is it just lore and player options?

There are a few maps in the book. They aren't full-sized poster maps or anything, and nothing with crazy zoomed-in detail, but there are full-page spreads of a few regions and such.

It's been well over a year and a half since a claim was made that their would be a Midgard Campaign Setting for 5e and yet this book is still not available. When do you plan to release it?

@Ralph T: Thanks for asking! You probably know that the first pieces have already been released: Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition, Southlands Heroes for 5th Edition, Deep Magic: Ley Lines, Deep Magic: Clockwork Magic, Deep Magic: Illumination Magic, character sheets, etc.

But I think you are asking about the Midgard Heroes Handbook for 5th Edition, and the Midgard Worldbook. Those hardcover books were funded last year, and we've been posting steady progress on them ever since. I suspect some previews will be shared with backers in November and December.

The ship date is Winter 2018; recently, we've been reviewing page proofs, nailing down maps, and preparing to go to press this fall. So, we're getting close to the release date, but campaign setting work often does take a few years. We'll ship it when it is ready.

@Wolfgang B,

This current version has specific information for Pathfinder and AGE built in. You said that there will be a 5th Edition hardback. Will there be an Archmage (13th Age) edition, or at least, may it be included in the upcoming D&D 5E hardback, similar to how this edition supports both Pathfinder/AGE, out of the box?
I'd love more Archmage support from Kobold Press.

Hi Chad! The Heroes books are still available, just not on DriveThru. Here's the Kobold Store versions (and they are also on Amazon and Tabletop Library):

http://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/southlands-heroes-for-5th-edition/

http://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/midgard-heroes-for-5th-edition/

Lots of plans for 5th Edition, including the Tome of Beasts, Book of Lairs, Unlikely Heroes, Midgard 5th Edition, etc. Some of that is discussed in the interview on KoboldPress.com with Wolfgang Baur, in the Kobold newsletter, on the Wizards D&D podcast, and also in the Tome Show podcast. That last one's here:

Midgard 5th Edition meaning the Midgard Campaign Setting for D&D 5e ?

I'm sorry if you give the answer in the podcast, I just don't have an hour and half to spare.

Midgard Campaign Setting supports multiple systems, including D&D 3.5, D&D 4E, Pathfinder, Fantasy AGE, and 13th Age. It is not a Pathfinder-specific setting.

Is there a way to buy just certain chapters such as Ley Lines, Shadow Roads and the Clockwork domain stuff?
Reply
Customer avatar
Wolfgang B October 13, 2015 6:26 pm UTC
PUBLISHER
That's a great idea! The Clockwork domain stuff is expanded in Deep Magic (which is a huge volume), but doing Ley Lines and Shadow Roads as a standalone.... Well, suggestion noted! Seems like something we could pull together.

Surprisingly good, though of course I'm biased. All the Midgard races get AGE backgrounds, and there's some AGE magic as well. So, minotaurs, gnolls, ravenfolk, etc are covered.

There's also an AGE Bestiary for Midgard as a separate release.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
