My friends and I MERP'd (Middle Earth Role Playing) our way through college back in the early-mid 90's.
Once I get my work situation sorted out, I'll be running The One Ring. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
I picked this up a while back and have enjoyed it ever since. I hope they continue to make auxiliary content for it, however. Great presentation and informative video, once again.
Can’t wait for Moria! 🔥
For me when it comes to dice systems, I may prefer d20 systems as a whole purely because it's a comfort food system, BUT I'm also a TTRPG hoarder, and so I know enough rule and dice systems of various levels of crunch that I kind of have a game for most of the settings/genres I like outside of 5e and d20 systems.
Edit: I'm also a homebrew/3rd party product hoarder, so I can also use 5e for all sorts of stuff. Again, comfort food system.
1:38 there IS a 5E version of TOR
I have the 5e version. Haven't played it yet but I will say the travel system is really cool
Cannot speak for the 5e version but the TOR rules do a fantastic job of evoking the themes of LotR. For some reason or another the characters we’ve created are fascinating. I think there is some Burning Wheel influence there.
I think the reason why people gravitate towards d20 systems, is because it's what they know.
It takes time to get into a new system, and time being ever an issue, you don't necessarily need have the time nor the energy to learn a new system.
I got three people into Call of Cthulhu through the starter set and the scenario Paper Chase, which took a couple of hours to get through.
Yeah, I think time issues are why d20 is so prominent.
FIRST!
...
Is that still a thing? Damn I'm old.
Yes, this is a great starter set. The parts that come with it pair very good with the core rulebook as well. I have both, and they have given many hours of entertainment, just reading. Can't wait to get a table set up.
The symbols replace the 11/12 on the D12, which lets it add 1-10 to the roll, or the effects of the symbols.
The 12 sided dice are supposed to have numbers from 1 to 10 with the addition of the Eye of Sauron and the Gandalf Rune.
I noticed you have 11 as a print in your 12 sided die, which is a production mistake. I assumed they had already removed those misprinted dice from their products...
Freeleague can send you replacement dice if you make a claim. To me it is not a big deal; I simply treat the 11 as a 1.
I hope this was helpful for anyone who hasnt buy the starter set and later on reads the rules.
I'm ok with them not offering a digital copy when you purchase from Amazon. It gives people an incentive to actually purchase from the website.
Anytime you buy any product from any publisher, you should get a free pdf with your direct purchase.
Outside D&D I've played three games mostly, Pathfinder, Shadowrun and Rifts, Pathfinder is D20 though Shadowrun is D6 and Rifts was mostly Percentile. They all have their plus and minuses, and based on these you can see I prefer rules heavy games, but D20 is easier to teach to new people I think that's why they sell better.
I've had this game for a while...no one to play with lol I'd love to branch out into non D20 systems. Have you heard of Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal from Riverhorse Games? I own both. Ran Labyrinth before, still learning The Dark Crystal
Thier is a version of The One Ring for D&D 5e.
Points shouldn't be taken off because they choose not to give you a free digital copy when you don't purchase through their website
I messaged the company I bought it from and they got me a copy through bricks and mortar!
The pdf from their site is probably a bonus for buying it from them directly.
It’s also weird for me to picture someone who says they are a big fan of lotr but just doesn’t dog hobbits. Just a funny idea.
A fan of the movies that never read the book might not like hobbits. But I would guess that said fan probably never watched the extended editions as well. So someone who like the universe of the movies, but who is not too deep into the lore itself. Maybe a fan of Rings of Power might "like" Tolkien without liking hobbits, this show is mainly focusing on other races while the hobbits are but a useless parenthesis (personally I found the show itself to be useless to the lore, badly written and unfaithful to Tolkien's lore, but I do understand that some people, even friends of mine, did like the show).
@@RmDIrSudoSu I believe they are out there, but I have no come across anyone who liked it. And besides, saying you’re a fan of Tolkien without having read the books is weird too. Like, you’re a fan of Peter Jackson, and that’s fine. But you’re not a Tolkien fan.
@@georgecook83 Let's say that there are a lot of people who are fan of the universe created by Tolkien, and never read the book.
Personally I don't understand and agree with you that they're more fan of Peter Jackson's work than Tolkien's having read none of it. It is the same with Cthulhu, I know a lot of people who love the Cthulhu mytho and have never read the novel. I find it weird as well, but there are a lot of people like that, most of the people I know who like Tolkien saw the movies but did not read the book or only part of it. I understand that the books can be "hard" to read, it is not the easiest read, but it is far from being unreadable. There are books that I read while I was young that are far more difficult than Tolkien, one of my favorite book series, Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin series, is harder to read than Tolkien, and I did make it through all the books as a child and later as a teenager/young adult for the latest release.
But a lot of people don't like to read, and that's the main problem, people like the movie because it gives them an idea of the books content without having to read them. But what I see is that people who like the movies tend to be less found of the shire and the hobbits.
@@RmDIrSudoSu Yeah, I think it comes down to you being more generous than I am. Which is probably for the best. I try not to act elitist, because I am far from elite, but it drives me crazy when people talk about the books they “read” on audible, for example. I am found of audiobooks, but it is not reading, it’s like saying you where playing sportsball when you really watched a game.
So all that to say, you’re probably right, but I will continue to judge people over the internets :).
I wanted more gravitas with the back of the box read, anybody else?
People have a tendency to stick with what they first learned.
An Dungeons and Dragons happens to be the system most people start with.
It's actually rare for people to start with something thats not Dungeons and Dragons.
I prefer unique rules and systems for games that aren't trying to be like 5e. 5e rules and mechanics aren't always ideal for what the game is wanting to accomplish
They did recently produce a 5E version of The One Ring, but the original game was not a 5E product, and honestly the original One Ring game is a better game, in my opinion at least.
Wow, your facial features seem to represent the perfect blend of most of Middle Earth's main racial types--hobbits, elves, dwarves, and men (ranger, wizard, Gondorian knight, etc); with the appropriate garb and cosmetics, you could embody any of those. Fascinating.
Okay........
I see you are really now trying to cover all the starter set and catch up to me.
