Living in the real Midlands (approximately in the area of the map known as Deadford in The Midderlands) I can confirm that this might as well be a tourist guide; given the goblins, trolls and orcs I meet when I dare to leave the safety of my home. ;-)

My goodness, the quality of the physical books looks astounding. Crazy expensive, but you get what you pay for. Wow. And the content inside of them is Triple-A quality to boot! Edit: I purchased the core Midderlands PDF. Ben, you make me buy more things than anyone else on KZread. I love your professional and informed input on these products.

@@feagal612 I love The Midderlands. It never made it to my table, but reading through it was fun. It's thematically very consistent. The artwork maybe a little TOO consistent/redundant. But the overall creepy feel is unique and fun to read.

Fantastic videos as always, Questing Beast! Your reviews showed me a whole world of rpg books I never knew existed, and I love Maze of the Blue Medusa. Thank you!

Thank you for the review. We appreciate you taking the time to do so.

Haven't clicked on that notification fast enough. Thanks for your content dude, love the OSR and all the stuff you find and review. I'm working on my own Old school, OD&D inspired tabletop game, so all your videos are very useful for mining ideas and getting inspiration.

Thanks for introducing to me to all these great books, Ben. I love this channel. It's nice to see a Motbm-quality book. I've never heard of what you are doing next week, but love Scrap. I'm thinking I'll wait and let you explain it to me. It's the reason I bought one of Motbm's second printing.

Wow, loving the layout of the towns, could use something like that in my sandbox game for random towns.

The monster/NPC presentation reminds me of 2e Ravenloft. I think it's a good way of doing It. Very nice & interesting review as usual.

Given that I live in the Midlands I am sorely tempted to buy this :).

I got these as part of a Kickstarter. I love them. As a Brit i find them great fun.

LOVED those maps.

I really like the artwork. England has been done to death I think, but this is a nice presentation of a fantasy British Isle. Great review

This is my first time hearing about The Midderlands but it’s very interesting, I definitely won’t regret subbing

The Midderlands are one of my favorites

Have you considered trying & reviewing Barbarians of Lemuria? You might find it to your tastes.

You might already know this, but although 'shire' is pronounced the way you say it when it's a word on its own, it's pronounced differently when it's part of an actual county name. For instance, Yorkshire is generally pronounced as York-sher or Yawk-sher, and Lancashire would be Lan-ka-sher. (Also, 'shire' is not the syllable that gets the emphasis: YORK-sher, BARK-sher, LAN-ka-sher, etc) Sometimes the 'sher' is stretched/stressed a little differently so that it sounds a bit more like 'sheer/shear', but it should still be quick/clipped so that it's kind of halfway between 'sher' and 'sheer'. Sometimes it's more like 'shuh' because the R isn't voiced properly. It varies a bit by region, class, etc. Most English place names are entirely unpronounceable to Americans, though. I apologise!

How difficult would it be to use Old School Essentials would I need Advanced Fantasy?

Can it be used with D&D 3.5?

Ok... so how do you get this book now? Amazon says its not available.

Is it possible to use it with The Black Hack system?

Yes not that hard to convert

There is Midderlands Zine now

Swords & Wizardy? Is it easily converted to B/X ?

Yes.

Yes especially as you can add Dolmenwood for Ireland in the game

I feel like those knockers are at risk of becoming a common fashion, and then what use would it be!?

I thought the beasts were godawful looking in an unappealing way, but otherwise, this is a fantastic buy.

I hadn't seen the expansion till now, and I think their newest bestiary looks more detailed. It seems to fill things in more professionally as well. The injection of revenue from the first kick probably helped. I will try to get a hard copy now that I've seen the guys are pursuing this as more than a one-shot. I love the weirdness, as you said.
