There will be some solo rules released soon, so that might give you a shot to try things out. Or before those are released you can try the introductory solo adventure I wrote: A Sorry Sight at the Eye: TOR 2e Intro Solo adventure. @ShadowDenizen - I was a fan of 1e but think 2e is a big step...

From experience I'm delighted that it is very easy to convert 1e adventures and monsters. A culture takes a little bit more work as you have to think about translating things to 2e's style (e.g. making things "Inspired" or "Favoured"), but that's pretty straightforward and then are lots of fan...

Very pleased with the TOR 2nd edition so far. I really like the rules changes even as a big fan of 1e: journey are better attributes matter more I like hope refreshing more frequently but being higher risk, higher reward: sometimes it doesn't help you pass, but it now does more at high...

I'm a big fan of 2e broadly, but I agree with this point. I've noted it in the FAQ/errata thread. I think it is relatively easily fixed by making "required successes" scale up faster than "attempts allowed" (which is what Savage Worlds does with a similar mechanic). Skill Endeavours/councils...

Ruins of the Lost Realm should be out fairly soon too, offering some campaign guidance and plenty more Landmarks. Looking forward to this, as while the Shire serves a good role in the narrative (place of safety to contrast with dangers etc), I'm less interested in it from an RPG point of view...

Linked a little to the Rings of Power trailer from Amazon yesterday, here's a document with some house rules/tweaks I'm kicking around based on my experience with 2e so far. Includes a Council/Skill Endeavour tweak and rules for those that want to play more powerful High Elves (closer to 1e...

As one of the many big fans of 2e TOR, I'll note that I'm finding having Dunedain and High Elves mixed in with other characters much easier in 2e. So far this has taken in the below, starting a bit before 1e's time period (I'd like to give PCs the chance to fight in the battle of five armies)...

That's very true too, Material gains in organisation continue: the 1e hardcover was an improvement on the initial 1e material, and 2e is a further improvement.

That's a shame! Although as a longstanding 1e fan I think 2e is a significant improvement, I can see there are people who prefer 1e and I'm glad it is still there for them. i agree that 2e's journey rules are lot better. Some of the changes in the final 2e may well address some of your...

Plus there's the solo material ("Strider mode" as it has entertainingly been dubbed) and Ruins of the Lost Realm coming up soon (a book of landmark adventure sites plus some plots/schemes to tie elements together). Both should help generate ideas. Speaking of generating ideas: we were...

Fenris-77, that looks like an excellent outline! You build the pace nicely there. Know your likely cast of PCs yet so you can build a Treasure Index? You mentioned needing a hand on probabilities, hope the links below help: https://trollbridge.proboards.com/post/34615/thread AnyDice - You can...

Forumatic is shutting down so I've updated the first post with a link to the new forum. The third story, sees the calendar advance to 127AL and King Viserys I launch a War in the Stepstones in an attempt to unify the quarrelling Greens and Blacks against a common foe.

We've started and we're on schedule! It's day 2 now: - gifts to the queen and princess to show where your allegiance lies - the royal hunt - the opening pageant - heralds praise their House's champion while knights ride at rings to win glory! People are welcome to join during the game -...

Hooray! We've only got one female cohort, balance is welcome. Lots of interestingly placed pre-generated female characters, or we can work up a custom character. Welcome back.

System is very simple and everyone is happy to help. :) The forum has a link to the free quick start PDF rules if you need a handy refresher. We've got a decent list of PCs even though the forum has only been live for a week. There are lots of interesting pre-generated characters or we'd be...

I was a player in that and the similarly fun Blood in the Water, but not the creator. Think of this as a spiritual sequel, trying to learn from the things that went right and went wrong. The events for every day are already written, so much less danger of burnout. Delighted to see any familiar...

Nice Sokal reference sir! Also brings up a sensible point about using clearly defined and mutually understood language in a debate.

Thank god someone else noticed this and spared me the shame. I always liked: "Fewer children, less bad at grammar."
