Background
[edit]Midkemia was originally created as an alternative to the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) role-playing game. When Feist studied at the University of California, San Diego, he and his friends created a new role-playing game based on the world of Midkemia.[citation needed] They called themselves the Thursday Nighters, because they played the Midkemia role-playing game every Thursday evening. After some time, when the group changed and began meeting on Fridays, they became known as the Friday Nighters.[citation needed] The original group have since formed a company called Midkemia Press, which has continued publishing campaigns set in Midkemia.[citation needed]
