Mini-Setting & Bestiary Publisher's blurb: The Midderlands is an old-school game setting with bestiary for use with old-school role-playing games. ... It is a green-hued, dark-fantasy, late-middle ages, early-renaissance view through grime-smeared spectacles. The setting itself is based on an area in the middle of England near where I live called The Midlands. Many of the locations are loosely based on reality, but others are pure fantasy from an addled mind.
