Thank you, this was quite helpful.
Thanks for the comment and happy it’s helping!
Great job! Loving this content
The background music really fits the folk of Durin! We can really see(and hear!) your appreciation for TOR 2nd ed! This series of going through the free folks is some of your best material, keep it up!
Many thanks! And thanks to a drunken stupor, I impulsed hit the "back the kickstarter" (late pledge!) for the game... and now, here we are lol It's an amazing game and I just want to help spread the word about it...
The Dwarves are by far my favorite of the races!
If I get a chance to play in a game with a group (I'll be the forever LM lol) Dwarves are definitely high on the list to play...
Loving this series so far! Looking forward to the next culture, thanks!
Thank you for the feedback, and very happy you're enjoying them, they've been quite fun to make! More to come!
I really like your narrating of the cultures. Helps getting in the mood!
Thanks! Enjoy making them and hopefully helps potential players in deciding what they want to play (once I get through them all lol)
Great work keep it up!
Thanks!
Show us your mesbg collection pls!
I do have a video up showcasing my Moria terrain build and setup during a local con! Planning on doing videos of my Shire army and terrain build soon!
This is great, i share lots of these videos with my players
Awesome, thank you! I hope they help!
Brilliant work Ryan, I’m loving your channel.
Much appreciated! Glad you’re enjoying the videos (and hopefully finding them helpful!)
Great content, I’m currently running a group as the lore master and I find this stuff very helpful Keep up to good work and if you cover all the cultures that would be amazing (including the Moria and Rivendell book add ons)
Thanks for the comment, and yes will be covering all the official cultures, the peoples of the Wilderland, Rivendell and the Moria supplement!
Do you think i could play this set alone ? I lean using the included Adventures along with the Strider mode ?
100%. It’s a great way to learn the rules and get a feel for Strider mode for sure. Try out the first adventure and tweak things to suit your style. The pregens are already adjusted to the a lower Target Number so no issues there.
Make them hidden at the start of play. If a situation comes up the characters can decide ohhh I have had a rope with me all along. From then on its a rope. That way players dont carry useless stuff around. It anyway only adds 1D6 so its not overpowered.
Not a bad idea. Still takes into account the SOL limits but doesn’t force the players to “pick” ahead of time something that may not be of use during that adventure phase!
It's great to see a new video from you.
Thanks! Good to get back at The One Ring material again!
I love this video, mate! Any plans to cover more of the cultures?
Will do all of them that’s officially available… Stay tuned! Thanks for the feedback and watching!
BEHOLD THE GLORY OF MY PEOPLE!
Indeed!
These videos are so well made, and I find them really useful! Really looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Happy you’re liking them and finding them useful! More to come. Thanks for watching!
You are now under The Ban of the Valar for covering anything except for The One Ring RPG! In all seriousness, appreciate the video and I'd like to get back into MESBG myself.
TOR is the reason for me delving back into it. I had the Mines of Moria set for years untouched, and then after TOR 2e, got back into it!
❤
Awesome video, thanks
Great video!
Thanks!
It would also be nice to have some additional guidance about replacing lost Useful items. For example, in my campaign a player lost his Useful Item which was a personal travel Journal (Travel). To replace I thought, why not let him replace it in game? So the Player agreed that he would try to write replacement journal. During each Fellowship Phase I had him make a Heart test, when he succeeded he created a new Useful Item.
That makes sense, narrative wise especially. As long as the SOL rules are followed, can’t see there to be any harm in it that!
I always felt like they should've given us a longer list of useful items. Also I'd love if a future book brought more mechanics involving standard of living. I find it so underused.
Definitely needs a little more fleshing out or at least provide some options for use if SOL. I get why they did it, but for a long campaign, would be nice to start to utilize all that “wealth” a little more! Thanks for the comment.
Always excellent. Thank you.
Thank you!
much appreciated, look foreword to more videos like this!
Thank you for the comment! Really helps in knowing they’ve been helpful!
At 5:10 mark. Didn’t you mean three feat die since there are three diamonds filled in?
The three diamonds are for the amount of Success Dice (d6) to be rolled. The tick/mark right next to the skill, in this case travel means it's a favoured skill and you roll the two Feat die (d12) selecting the best result. Hope that clarifies!
Awaiting the next Hasbro / Wizards Of The Coast scandal news to hit; hopefully it won't bring third parties down with them, but... ... WotC and Beyond are the land-destroying mechanised horrors. The good that will come of this is only for WotC / Hasbro pockets.
Oh something will come up for sure for WOTC, etc. Just hoping that this type of "digital" level of offering opens that door a little for FL to get be able to share the TOR content on other digital platforms like Alchemy, Roll20, etc. This may very be a crack in the wall of the licensing restrictions...
I'm surprised D&D Beyond didn't open the door for more 3rd party content years ago. Such a shame D&D Beyond is no longer independent though. But I'd love to see some digital resources for The One Ring, too.
Have been in a couple of campaigns using D&D Beyond and it's a great setup. Source material, character sheet and generator is seemless. Would be a huge bonus for TOR to have a similar setup, especially considering it's a unique ruleset, etc. One can only hope it happens in the future!
Thanks for the love, Ryan!
Any time!
Still not willing to pay for D&D Beyond or pay for content on D&D Beyond that I already own, like lots of Free League titles.
I hear you. It's a great program, use it for a Curse of Strahd game I'm in that we play off and on, but that being said, I'd rather spend my money on other games... and well at this points it's anything Free League and Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game!
Thanks for the explanation of how to use this. When a new combat round begins, are all the stances AND engagements ‘reset’, allocating PCs and foes afresh? This would seem a bit weird, unless combat is like a flurry of quick engagements, and then a surge against new opponents. 🤔
You’re correct, definitely as flurry of quick engagements! When a new round begins, those in close combat can switch close combat stances, but if still engaged after the previous round, maintain so. Any who has killed their adversary, would have the choice of engaging in close combat again another adversary, or move to rearward. Keeping in mind engagement limits. For the Loremaster, they would decide on what to do with any adversaries standing back.
Oh, this is grand. I wish I had it back when I gmed the 1st edition! For those looking for it at DriveThru - it has been added as a second page to the map pdf of Moria supplement.
How does it feel having your own homebrew being given an official reproduction?
It would be very cool if the combat circle had been some influence! And the diagram looks so much better, just amazing artwork.
@@RyanoftheNorth I can only imagine that it was - it doesn't seem connected to Moria specifically. It seems rather coincidental for the team to have included it, almost as if they've been paying attention to the Discord for the past 6 months...
Annnnd I was just getting used to the combat circle (hugely helpful, thank you). Will have to A/B them if/when I get around to picking up Moria.
Happy that it helped! Really like how they made this one, and of course the artwork is perfecto! Thanks for the feedback!
"Now that the Combat Diagram is widely available as a pdf..." Where?
FL just added it to the DriveThruRPG under the Moria supplement, so if you have/buy the supplement, you'll get the link for it through DriveThruRPG. Not sure if they'll release separately!
So, when you said "now" you meant NOW now, ok. Would explain why i couldn't find it, then, yeah. Thanks!
You should have had an update, if you are a Kickstarter backer or if you have ordered the book you should get all the updates via Drive Thru RPG.
Love your vids!
Thanks for the comment! Hope they've been helpful!
Any more bladerunner vids? Only the one on your playlist
@@stumpywest1652 not yet unfortunately (aside from my solo play ones!). Plan is for more now that Summer is almost to a close (and have evenings to focus more on creating content lol)
Now that's the best of solo right there, narrative dramatic, and evocative! Great stuff!!
Thanks! Been great fun and was a way for me to get into solo-play at the start, to write out an accompanying story to it. Thank you for watching! (Now just to get back to it from the Summer lull!)
What a horrible BGM, full of noises, whispers, etc.
Yeah, was still learning during my older videos, and have since adjusted the volume and changed the background music…
Excellent! Really helpful and enjoyable. So many great ideas. Looking forward towards more.
Thank you and happy you enjoyed! More to come!
Hi Ryan it's Colton from Ptarmicon. Didnt know how to get a hold of you so reaching out in the comments to see about another session of Alien ttrpg!
Hey Colton, on holidays right after the Con, so haven’t had a chance to send out a message out to the group! Will set something up sometime starting September, will send out via email! Cheers!
My guess is that you rolled an eye and a couple of 1’s to get that event. 😢
It was getting real dicey there for Folco and Berilac, was afraid Folco would’ve succumbed as well! These two episodes were an adaptation from the last adventure from the The One Ring Starter Set adventures!
loved it!
Thanks for watching!
Even better than the stance cards I used. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Hope it helps. There’s a good version of this in the link in the comments from Pokke off discord and of course the new Battle Mat from the Moria Expansion follows the same premise. Check the out!
Is there a way to get the information from the One Ring for free online I want to play it with my brothers but I can't pay for it
Unfortunately there’s no QuickStart rules that you can get for free, unlike other games that offer that. Closet thing would be to go on Drivethrurpg and get the PDF’s but that’ll I think $20usd for the core book. They do have sales sometimes for 50% off that can make that cheaper!
@@RyanoftheNorth Ty for letting me know I think I might have enough and if I don't i'll check drive thru rpg
@@Goatlord1777I believe a website called pdfcoffee has one my brother used, but I'm not sure so use with caution
This is amazing. Great writer!
Thanks for the feedback and for watching! It’s been a fun adventure so far!
Thank you! Your explanation helped a ton!
You’re welcome and happy you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
Excellent! The atmosphere and the pace...
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Nice review and covering. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment and watching! (Will have to do an updated video once I receive my KS copy)
Can you deal a piercing blow with the axe? If not, then why does the weapon has an injury rating? I'm having troubles understanding this: the manual says that the piercing blow is only for bows, swords and spears. So when do you use the injury rating for the axe?
They still can with a roll of a 10 or a Gandalf rune on the Feat Die. What they can't do, is spend the extra successes to get a lower number to a 10 on the Feat die!
@@RyanoftheNorth got it, thank you so much! Your videos saved me multiple times 😂
@@lorenzosaltutti6438 Glad they've helped... more to come, but I've been waylaid by other Free League Game bandits like Alien, Blade Runner and Twilight:2000!
