Very interested in this. I sped read through the thread and didn't see any follow-ups. What were your players wanting to bring into LOTR 5ed ? I assume not classes or races (As that is the point of useing LOTR 5e). What, if anything, are you bringing into your LOTR game? Thanks

What I really like is how they did the last few years of Agents of SHIELD. 22 episodes can be hard to write for a focused ark (I think the Flash suffered from writers trying to draw out storylines). SHIELD would break up a 20ish episode season into 3 nearly distinct stories (one would bleed...

Wow, lots of banned users in that thread....heck two band users in the first 3 post. Fun times

I found this play not long post 3ed. I had been a frequent visitor to a different forum (I forget which one but it had the Ask Agamemnon on it), it was slowing up, and I found this place (mayber around 2004ish).

So, I am in the camp that Martials (esp Fighters) need something but not neccessarily something combat focused. I also fondly remember 2e days when Fighters got more Non-Weapon Proficencies than Magic-Users (because NWP were based on class not Int). Therefore, I always look at ways to give...

I have to echo The Changeling since I don't see it on anyone else's list. It is creepier than it has any right to be.

I know not having books would cut cost, but I think it will take at least another full generation of Game Designers/Executives to got that far, so I would say 15-20 years I guess they are watching Foundry's Ember RPG with great interest. That could shift the timeframe one way or the other.

Usually there is one big event per sport per season, The Draft, where the Players get together and pick the players on the sports teams. Then it is weekly scoring usually over the internet and trash talking. But, I know people that are in multiple leagues in the same sport and do it for...

I use my wife as my guidepost for this show. She has read The Hobbit and the Trilogy once, long-ago, but the movies are IT for her. So during the show, when something that I know from either the Simillrillion or my listening to podcast starts to creep into my mind (like an evil shadow), I will...

Outside of Shadowrun, GURPS jumped out at me as well. I tried to run a shadowrun-style GURPS game back in the 90s. Core-book + GURPS Magic + GURPS Cyberpunk. If I remember correctly the dedicated Spell-Slinger was on par with the Gun Guy but did have to conserve mana points more than gun guy...

How antagonistic? Take a gander even here on Enworld at some of the Warlock threads where a few DM's feel it is their right (nay responsibility?) to mess with Warlock PCs on a level undreamt of since the days of the 1st ed Paladin. While I think the wording maybe a bit over the top, I think...

Reading through it, it looks fun. And watching Glass Cannon play it makes it look easy and smooth to run.

Honestly (as a nearly forever DM) if I got to play in a Halloween one shot I would be thrilled if the DM used one of the minor realms from the 5e Ravenloft book and used the suggested adventure hooks to build an adventure. That may not be helpful, so more specifically, I would love an...

My thoughts on the teen were: 1) Agatha's son, and at the end she will get a chance to Wish she had never made the original deal. But, I think this is what they want us to think and is therefore not likely. 2) Vision/Wanda's son (1 of them). When Teen found the kitchen gadget to boil the...

The Storypath Ultra Corebook will have 3 sample settings, 2 of which backers are voting on. 1) A Angels vs Demons Wrestling/Fighting Circuit set in early 2000s 2) Sci-fi: Backers have already voted and decided on Players are aboard an experimental ship that finds itself in a new universe to...

I work in Corporate America, and I have known many high level mangers that play in 4-6 fantasy sports league a year. With 10-12 people per league I see no reason to assume he is lying about how many people he plays with.

I'm backing Storypath Ultra Core book on backerkit now and will back this one as well. I think I really like what they're doing with the system.

Does that point seem to be in The Two Towers? cause if so, you are not alone. I love the books, but when ever I do a re-read, I know I am not making it straight through. The Two Towers will always take me months as I will bounce to other books then return where I left off.

If you can do without spellcaster (but with scholars and other ways to enchant items) you should look at The Lord of the Rings RPG (for 5e) by free league. They go 1-10 levels but again no spellcasting.

So, I think that the Tolkien = GM, Readers = Players, and Silmarillion is a workable analogy. That said, the Silmarillion didn't make it into play. For original readers, they didn't get that world lore until decades after the "campaign" ended. So in a sense Silmarillion was the GM having his...
