Minas Tirith, while built into a hill, is described with the top being 700ft above the gate at the bottom. The Argonath are described as 'massive'. Barad-Dur is implied to match up to Minas Tirith, so be 700ft plus as well. But like others, not sure overall point. LOTR I find is a mythical...

But when I look at reviews of some of their products, like WFRP, or One Ring, I do see videos of people flipping through their pages and showing off some - certainly they don't show every page, but I don't see how it is much different to what Slyflourish did, and apparently those companies have...

I don't know, possibly impacted by having read some of the Unfinished Tales / History of Middle Earth stuff - one of which opens with a traveller from 'current day' as such meeting Elves from memory - but always felt it from published works that it was a view of a mythical past of our world...

Or it may point to a systematic problem with the way you recruit? Maybe there are flaws with your process, such as relying on someone's ability to interview well, to sell themselves well - yes people should be honest, and from my experience it is clear when they're not, but I know I bring my...

My understanding if it helps, is Frogweaver was trying to get a feel for those who were still listed as credited, to compare against those that had been removed - to see if a pattern was there - i.e. was it that only credits where certain people were listed that were removed, and others with...

I had the toys as well at one point, and I think a book that went with it, but memory blurs and for a long time I thought it was about an adventure R2D2 and C3PO had regarding a black hole.

Not sure if right thread for this- but has been announced that the Thirteenth doctor and Yaz are returning for Big Finish audios! Given the great job they did with the Sixth Doctor, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do for the Thirteenth :)

I guess for me I'm struggling to see the point of giving context here if not trying to excuse him? What does bit matter what the context is if the main point is purely that Gary was sexist, which some people are trying to deny? Does it matter what society was like at that point? I just don't...

Thanks for that advice :) is there a simple run down for group advantage if I don't have up in arms? To make sure understood above, given group are experienced in RPGs, better to skip the starter set, or still get the starter set butbl use above adventures instead of the starter set adventures...

Looks like it depended on what version you had of the books as to whether published separately or not: https://fightingfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sorcery_Spell_Book I agree that there were similarities between the towns, but both cool :)

Thanks, everything going well so far :) Yep, I do remember Crown of Kings / Sorcery! - though tended to only be able to get hands on the last two volumes, and not the separate spell book so somewhat limited, but was quite a cool idea really. Forgot to mention have moved to the digital version...

Enjoyed reading this stuff, has helped firm up my desire to give WFRP 4e a go with my group, thanks to humble bundle I have a chunk of the rules and all the Empire Within campaign in PDF. Advice side- I'm thinking trying to get hands on physical starter set may give best chance at having a...

Well, as often happens, life gets complicated, and a new baby in the house soon after ths was posted derailed things, but wanted to post to say I've appreciated reading everyone else's journeys in this space. Has reminded me of a couple of things: Gamebooks - good old Fighting Fantasy and Blood...

A post no one asked for :) But one I've been thinking on since posting on another thread about coming here to discuss a hobby I like, and my likes / dislikes. While been doing other systems more and more lately, most of my TTRPG history has been D&D, so focusing on this here. I'm also...

Yeah I think they did play Primula, though with Bilbo coming in and out of play, can't be sure she was there for that last bit. Yep, can talk to her Dad there, and the adventure notes for the person running it calls out that if Rory or Primula there then the encounter with the watchman should...

Just a bit further on it though, I agree with point that I don't see the adventure as being neo-trad, it felt very much Trad like any other published adventure we've run. I just wanted to give an alternative view from someone who did enjoy it, and had enough positive feedback to suggest we...

They may not have enjoyed it as much as I did, but they were interested in doing further adventures using the One Ring, especially once the Moria expansion comes out. Also regarding rails, as a group we tend to stick with published adventures these days as takes less time / stress for us, and...

Fair enough - I note we didn't use Lobelia or Rorimac, so didn't run into those issues there in play - I agree that those two do create a bit of a dissonance. Re the map bit - it is clear in his opening spiel that it is the mathom house he wants it from - i.e. the local museum, and is enough...

Is funny how opinions can differ on these - my friends and I ran through the adventures and quite enjoyed it. We found it worked well at introducing us to the rule set overall, albeit only saw two races and none of the journeying aspect, but got a good feel of the mechanics in it, as it...

You have called it a bad idea to use Greyhawk, which while not saying using Greyhawk a mistake, does feel stronger than just saying isn't the best choice. Some of those weird bits like strange tech/ radiation mutations could be good in the DMG for examples on how you could make a setting your...
