Midnight to TROS Conversion

For those that are interested I'm currently compiling a conversion of Midnight for TROS.  Its mixed up with the Character Generation Quick Reference sheet that was floating around a while ago, so if you are interested and can answer the question that the character generator asks (Via PM) then I'll email it to you.  If that doesn't prove popular or successful, I can post the relevant conversions here.  Note however that both the Midnight book and the TROS book are necessary to use these rules and they don't use the TROS quickstart rules.  Also, I'm using the Ars Magica rules for this game and therefore they will be laced with references to the conversion of Ars to TROS.  

cheers

Still waiting on my copy of Midnight :)

I would definitely like to get a copy of your conversions notes. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to convert over, and run my player's through the Crown of Shadow module for Midnight.

What is it you are asking for in a PM ? Not quite following you....
'But the discord of Melkor rose in uproar and contended with it, and again there was a war of sound more violent than before, until many of the Ainur were dismayed and sang no longer, and Melkor had the mastery.'

Malechi

basically I need some "proof" that you own the book, similar to the proof that the character generator software asks for when you install it.  Just a word on a page is all.  I'm only asking this as the conversion file as it is has a lot of character generation information similar to the character generation quick reference file that was being passed around last year.  PM me for specific questions..

cheers

Midnight and TRoS go together extraordinarily well - I really like the work you've done Malechi (this is Morannon from ATS), my players are starting to get their copies of Midnight and TRoS in and we're all buzzing like bees about it, be assured we're going to borrow liberally from your work before all is said and done =).

Cool, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Converting the races over to maintain the 'feel' of midnight was the trickiest bit.  And by using the Ars Magica conversion I was able to give that sense that Elves are something to be feared just by the sheer fact that they have so much magic.  This also goes a ways to explaining the priority A requirement.  I think I'm going to work on the monsters next and perhaps the Oruks a little more.  I was thinking of using the half-giant from Of Beast and Men instead of Gols for them... what do you think?

Wow, I just got my copy of Midnight friday, and was thinking the same thing!

Ok, I'll have to PM you... since you liked my Ars Magica rules and you like Midnight, I need to see your stuff too!

PM on its way.... :)

For those who were or are still interested the conversion file is now available on my website

I'll be working on the file in the near future, adding some bits to it, including the herbalism rules from Against the Shadow.
