I've just started playing TO...Very nice review. I've just started playing TOR, and it is a great game. It is not "D&D with Middle-earth on top," by any means. As I get older, I tend toward simpler rulesets that have fewer niche mechanisms. TOR is an exception to the rule. I don't believe it is overly complex, but, yes, it does have a number of things going on. As the author above notes, though, the rules are very well conceptualized and all work well together. And they really deliver the best Middle-earth roleplaying experience I have ever had. I also had MERP books back in the '80s and '90s, and enjoyed reading them. Some of the materials were of pretty good quality, but their gameplay and mechanics frankly left a lot to be desired -- it just didn't feel like Middle-earth. TOR's materials are not only beautifully done and inspiring, but they deliver a great experience. You shouldn't bother to try to use TOR to play a generic "fantasy RPG"; there are better systems for that. But if you want to wander the Shire, cross the Misty Mountains and spend time kicking around the Mirkwood or maybe even venturing into Dol Guldur, TOR is the ticket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713201556953635246.post-50639427774809355322017-12-08T20:32:47.006-05:002017-12-08T20:32:47.006-05:00I do!I do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972447052010461783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713201556953635246.post-753772010633067152017-12-08T16:38:36.344-05:002017-12-08T16:38:36.344-05:00It's so kind of you to giveaway the other copy...It's so kind of you to giveaway the other copy.

I know the rule book says it is an automatic failure, but if let's say no one is a scout, and Bad Weather is rolled as a hazard what should happen? Is the hazard ignored, or does it effect the whole group? Thanks for taking time to read and respond.

My favourite article of clothing is Skinner's Mastodon T-shirt with a gigantic mutoid shoggoth-troll-thing being attacked by Viking longships in space because, you know, gonzo. My dress-sense very seldom garners anything resembling critical acclaim, but this T-shirt has drawn its fair share of admiring/amused comments.<br />http://images.backstreetmerch.com/images/products/bands/clothing/masd/bsi_masd114.GIF<br />Now I'm craving one of those proper old-school beholder patches too.ClawCarverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236809815213343281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713201556953635246.post-63950396308157329722016-04-05T16:39:31.641-04:002016-04-05T16:39:31.641-04:00I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
