German Core Rules, 4th edition. Midgard is a fantasy role-playing game that was the first role-playing game published in the German language and the first role-playing game to be created in Germany. The first edition was published in 1981. The 1985 edition was one of the first role-playing games to separate exhaustion points from hit points. The game uses 20-sided dice for attacks, spells, and skills; 6-sided dice to determine weapon damage; and a 100-sided dice roll for tests against a character's attributes. Note: The rule books have only been released in German.
