I love the Midnight system and would like to take a look at it when you are done.

Since the MIdnight system is a D20 based you wouldnt need the authoring kit. The Authoring kit is for when you design a totally new game system, like trying to add a system that LW does not currently support. An example there was an old Traveller system, The New Era which used percentile. You would need the authoring kit for that, but for something like Star Wars d20 you could use the Editor.

My sugestion would be to take the Midnight system and convert it to a Pathfinder system. I suggest this for two reasons: 1) more people are playing Pathfinder now adays. 2) you could used the editor for the Pathfinder system. The editor for Pathfinder is much easier to use then the editor for D20. But you would need to own the Pathfinder data set in order to be able to access the Pathfinder editor.

Hope this helps, if not just let me know. thanks.
