“Raiders of the Chambers of Tomorrows” (6).It starts off in Zobeck, but it makes treks into the Margreve Forest and will eventually see the players heading northward and making excursions into the Shadow Realm where the denizens there will emerge as a major threat for the players. So now let’s chart out a possible campaign arc, shall we? Here’s one that I’m playing through. Also popular is the Northlands adventure The Raven’s Call by Head Kobold Wolfgang Baur himself (though in translating this older adventure from Pathfinder to 5E it jumped up from 1st to 3rd level). “The Impregnable Fortress of Dib” by Jon Sawatsky from Prepared! is another great jumping-in point (probably set somewhere near Savoyne, judging by its sequel in Prepared 2).
By far and away, the best “introductory adventures” to Midgard are the brilliant Cat and Mouse, set in Per Bastet and written by Richard Pett, “Everyone Lies” by Ben McFarland (found in Streets of Zobeck and set in that city), “Hollow” by Richard Pett (set in the Margeve Forest and found in Tales of the Old Margreve ), and the Three Little Pigs triptych from Warlock Lair 30, 31, and 32, written by Richard Pett and also set in Per-Bastet.

You see how to use this now?īut where to begin your campaign? Let’s look at some of the popular starting points.
Need a good place to start a campaign? Search by level and-voila-there are 15 adventures for 1st-level characters beckoning you in. The Northlands? There’re 15 adventures to be had there, my friend. You like the Dragon Empire? Well, there’re 10 adventures awaiting you there right now. Looking just at the Southlands city of Per-Bastet, I see 6 adventures, levels ranging 1–5, but plenty more in the general region of Nuria Natal, which players could easily travel to. Choosing the Crossroads region, for example, I see 38 separate adventures with another 9 whose locations are unspecified, but which could be placed there, levels ranging 1–12. And it’s this ability to search level and location that makes it particularly useful to GMs. Well, it being an Excel spreadsheet, you can sort the columns any way you like: by level, specific location, country, region, related adventure(s), publication source, or author. But what does the spreadsheet do? And how can you use it for playing in Midgard? There are, after all, other online resources for looking up adventures, so what makes this one relevant? This is found on the Kobold Press & Midgard Facebook group, an unofficial page but a fantastic resource in its own right, frequented by quite a few Kobold Press designers and well worth checking out. This is an Excel spreadsheet, created and maintained by Yours Truly, that currently lists 170 5th Edition adventures** set in the world of Midgard. It’s Midgard Adventures by Level and Location. The other resource I’m going to call your attention to is meant to be used in conjunction with the map. This tool lets you draw a line between locations, and it will instantly calculate the distance in miles, so you can plot your party’s journeys anywhere in the world they want to go.* But probably the greatest feature of the Midgard Map, aside from its sheer exhaustive detail, is the pathfinder tool. You can filter markers by fourteen locations-capitals, castles, cities, imperial capitals, monoliths, mountains, oases, old battlefields, other, ruins, sites, titans, towns, and world trees. Not only are there 14 city maps embedded inside, but you can toggle on and off the political boundaries and a hex grid. Meyer and the digital wizardry of John Arcadian, this is a most amazing tool for RPG gaming. To delight and terrorize them.įor starters, I’m going to point you to two resources you might not know about. Your players are going to love this! Your players aren’t gonna know what hit them. You’ve never been anywhere so weird, so strange. A shadow realm with entire cities in its depths where bearfolk guide you, but sinister, horned elves might trick you into bargaining away the memory of your first love. Wars and rumors of wars, political intrigue, an empire of ghouls, and another of dragons. What a richly detailed world! An amazingly rich setting with powder kegs baked into nearly every region. But you keep hearing about this Midgard place, this amazing campaign setting that everyone’s talking about. You were thinking about just dropping these monsters into your homebrew or adding those subclasses. Maybe you have the Midgard Heroes Handbook. You’ve picked up the Tome of Beasts or maybe the Creature Codex.
