I missed the Kickstarter but have since bought books one and two following a recommendation. I’m now thinking I should wait until I have book three before playing them because I don’t want to ruin any surprises by having a little run-through first. Is there an ETA for book 3?
Thanks for getting the books! No need to wait — together they form a complete story, but each book is a self-contained adventure that can be played on its own. And you are likely to discover different things each time you play, in case you decide to start again with Book 1 when Book 3 comes out. (The one caveat is that there’s a scenario in Book 2 that lets you explore a scene in Book 3, which you obviously won’t be able to do yet.)
Most of Book 3’s sections are complete, so if we remain on track, the Kickstarter and hopefully the book itself will be out in 2018.
Well, there’s no way I can leave these books on my shelf unread until next year (especially not after the good things I’ve heard about them), so I’d best get cracking!
The easiest way is to follow the artist, C. Aaron Kreader, on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1230703246. (Also, if you backed one of the previous campaigns, you’ll automatically get updates.) You can also sign up for the author’s mailing list at http://www.aaronemmel.com.
When fighting two creatures (e.g., the rat men at the beginning), and an extra die is rolled for them, do you apply one roll of your die against each roll of theirs separately, or do they add their two rolls together?
It’s always a possibility based on demand. PDF versions are available via DriveThru RPG. Some additional copies of the boxed set (including Book 1 and the Memory Book) are available here:
Any chance we could get a PDF of the character sheet?
Yes–you can download the character sheet here: http://aaronemmel.com/ml/wp/?p=107
I also see that on BoardGameGeek, someone has already compiled and posted a sheet listing all of the available Equipment in Book 1 so that you don’t have to write it down: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/181889/midnight-legion-operation-deep-sleep

How many Energy Points are you ALLOWED to use when using them to increase your chances on a Sixth Sense roll?
Sixth Sense rolls are considered Skill Checks, so you can use up to 2 Energy points to increase your odds.
When fighting two creatures (e.g., the rat men at the beginning), and an extra die is rolled for them, do you apply one roll of your die against each roll of theirs separately, or do they add their two rolls together?
@David: You apply your roll to each enemy’s roll separately. Their rolls do not combine.
Any chance of reprints?
