Ben tells us about Kobold Press's fantasy setting, Midgard. Midgard started off as an open design campaign setting in which the main author, Wolfgang Baur, allowed fans to vote on options for what would be included. That project expanded into the Kobold Press company which now has their own TTRPG, Tales of the Valiant. Ben is a contributing author to many different RPG publications, including but not limited to Kobold Press. Ben's work for Kobold Press has earned him two ENnie awards, a silver for Southlands and a gold for Streets of Zobeck.

Midgard was originally inspired by Eastern European myths and folklore but has expanded to be "Europe with the fantasy filter on." Zobeck, the city that Ben collaborated to write about, is the cosmopolitan center of the action, similar to Faerun's Waterdeep or New York City in the USA. Ben's work on the southern African-like continent is detailed in the supplement, Southlands. Midgard offers many different regions for players to explore and have fun in. And its now paired with Kobold Press's new game system, Tales of the Valiant.
