    The Original Star Frontiers Retro Review

    Back in the day I preferred Traveler, but today I have fonder memories for Star Frontiers and appreciate the lighter more space-opera feel as different compared to the grittier ex-merc rogue traders of Traveler. Still need to track down some Volturnus modules. Both great game systems in the end

    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    I felt that this Galadriel felt a bit flat. I was hoping for a bit more of Cate Blanchett's otherworldly Galadriel. Maybe you need another 3000 years to reach the "otherworldly elf" level? On the other hand, Elrond I quite liked, though he came off as even more human than Galadriel.

    Rings of Power -- all opinions and spoilers welcome thread.

    Hindsight: very pretty, enjoyed the Elrond/dwarf relationship, really frustrated with the mangling of timeline and things just made up that go against elements published in the source material. Very expensive fanfic, basically. If I try not to think of it as Tolkien, it's fine fantasy.

    What you mention. Plus: The Lord of the Rings: The Long Defeat; the history of the rise and fall of Arnor, war with the Witch King of Angmar, etc.

    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    Oh absolutely, much to my chagrin. As well as a number of subsequent quotes by the Stranger and Galadriel (about his opposite).

    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    Actually @MarkB has it correctly. Bilbo wrote it, Gandalf reused it in his letter. ---- Frodo felt Bilbo stir impatiently at his side. Evidently he was annoyed on his friend’s behalf. Standing suddenly up he burst out: All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The...

    Celeborn dead? Or just missing/prisoner? Something doesn't track.

    I'm not following how it was night in the village and simultaneously just beyond dawn for the Numenoreans riding in from the West. I'm thinking I preferred the Hobbit trilogy right about now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Adventures in Middle-Earth

    Curious why you say that. I have both (and admittedly haven't played TOR2) but really couldn't see what I considered significant differences. I though the occasional TOR2 streamlining looked pretty promising. For OP, either system is great -- heck I'd pick up the TOR starter box just for the...

    A ray of hope…

    Just wondering if ray of hope is a cantrip or higher level spell, or a ritual. This feels like a ritual.

    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    Well, yeah, and I'm not loving that though I can sort of understand the producer/writer desire to introduce a cast early then have them remain the same through the whole series. I don't personally think that's necessary -- what better way to highlight the cultural differences between elves and...
