Hi all, brand new here, but a friend of mine recommended this game and I intend to submit a full application in the next day or so. Were there any holes in the party that might need filled. I'm new to the setting, so I'm currently reading the list of materials.
Sounds good, if you have questions, feel free to PM me or throw them out here. Regarding holes in the party, we haven't chosen the official party yet. Once we do, we can address any issues with the party make up.

Glad you made it!

To answer your question, no 'hole' in the potential pool of PCs yet that I see...except that there has not explicitly been a wildlander/ranger and survivalist type and anyway a party can always use more damage-dealing specialists.

You should build whatever you want from the Primer's list of Midnight classes (barbarian, defender, fighter, rogue, wildlander, and--sole spellcaster--channeler)!

So far the applicants as I recall have been my channeler-with-healer-emphasis, fighters/defenders, and one probable rogue. In other words folks are still deciding.

Quick announcement:
I edited the original post to include a custom character sheet. I'm unsure how PDFs or linked character sheets (for example on myth weavers) work within the website. I would like us to be able to use the "Post As" function Gamer's Plane offers. If those, or other, methods are compatible with that goal in mind, I don't particularly care what you use so long as the information is on there.

As always, willing to be flexible, maybe a link to the sheet and a skeleton character for the purpose of the function, but I would like us to us that during the game.

My application post now includes the rough draft (in progress) of my GP site-friendly Custom Sheet.

Minor problem, I inserted the same coding edits language in each instance, but for some reason I can't get the Size bonus to show up in calculated Flat-footed or Touch AC totals...despite how I got that same bonus to show up in calculated total Armor Class.


And I had to get creative for inserting a circumstance bonus from a racial trait on a handful of Skills (get +2 ONLY IF you are engaged in Smuggling/Trading) that won't apply as a Misc bonus every single time the Skill is used. Therefore, in my coding edits I made that conditional circumstance bonus part of an added blank line. Same for conditional save bonuses.

Thanks for the effort, I like I said though, if you prefer a less arduous solution, I don't mind.

I made that because I realized what the custom sheets even are on this website as an option for those who'd like to use it.

Yea, someone told me. I'm trying to get to the bottom of the issue.

They seem to be working for me. Let me know if you're still having issues.
Jun 11, 2025 9:45 pm
Probably is some kind of permissions would be my hazarded guess. Dear microsoft will not post it anymore. It used to before changes in GP which affected the postings. You're the owner so you should have permission always. Perhaps if we were in the game that would give us also the permissions.

I'm not here for the game, but to confirm that the links work for me.

So, I completely reloaded the docs, just in care it was some sort of issue with previously having access, and updated the links.

At this point, if it's not working, the only thing I can think to do is send me your email in a PM and I can send them to you via email.

Sorry, don't know what else to try.

5) What is worth dying for?

6) One named NPC

I'm going to withdraw my application - the character concept's just not gelling for me. Good luck and have fun to everyone else, though; Midnight's a great setting.

Sorry to hear that, thanks for the interest.

Updated Adventures in Midnight again. Now includes the correct spell list for channelers (Gross oversight on my part, apologies). As well as all Heroic Paths, Prestige Classes, Feats and an optional "Racial Champion" system you can use if it strikes your fancy.

Also, I fixed the Custom Character sheet languages, I made up some languages there that didn't exist.

Anywho, hope to see a couple more applications tomorrow. Thanks for everyone messaging behind the scenes.

Edit: oh, and if the links still aren't working. Hit me up and I'll send it to you via email.

Oh, I was just writing you a message about languages and I will now take this into account before sending it!

I see 'Gnomish' is no longer its own language, that is kind of a relief because I didn't have enough points to invest in it AND others like I'd want to, but my backstory rather required it.

QUESTION: We don't get any free Fluencies, do we? From races or a 'group language' for convenience?


And I'll look over the Channeler stuff by lunchtime.

Thanks!

Short answer, yes you do. Longer answer is in the character creation thread. I don't want to retype the entire thing, but basically, the languages shown in the handout that are not 'bonus' are free at character creation at the level stated. If no level is stated, assume fluent.

I really want to join but Im not sure I'm in the right place for grim dark at the moment. Please consider me for a future game when life is less crazy on my end. Thank-you

Still looking for one player, if anyone is interested.
