[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7914958, member: 518"] This is the headspace I am in as well- I would say, ToR/AIME do a fine job of emulating the style of adventures/journey that Bilbo & the Dwarves, as well as the Fellowship went through. In emulating the good Professor's work there is no doubt the C7 systems win hands down. But that's not what I wish to do if I'm going to run a RPG in ME. I'm not terribly interested in emulating those Journeys with more Epic scale/scope or even touching on things like despair/hope, etc. I'm more interested in the other clans of Hobbits. What about those Sackville Baggins? Or the other Dunedain Rangers who fought against the Witch King and Angmar's hordes? Other Elves who fought at the end of the Second Age and survived? What about the other two Wizards (blue and green?) and times when Gandalf was not around and Saruman was the good guy. When Gondor was not in such decline. All the bazillions of people and places and rumors and stories and lore mentioned by The Professor. Lets check that out. For a RPG I don't want to emulate the books and the heroes. It's not just a ME thing either- Same if I am playing Star Wars or Stormbringer or Lhankmar, or James Bond, or Supers games or other properties where novels/movies are the inspiration and the big massive epic events have already happened. In Dragonlance_- I don't want to run the WotL- There's already a bunch of Heroes who save the day. If I was going to play The Witcher I wouldn't care about Geralt or his "friends" or the current War stuff going on. Whats going on elsewhere with other Witchers, like the one that got killed in the 1st season - What was his story? What other lands are not ravaged at this time and ripe for adventure? Who are all those other Wizards? Where are they from? I think the TOR and the AIME books are [B][U]very well done[/U][/B]- especially the adventure/region books- . I'm also not terribly smitten with MERP or a Hater. I prefer other systems, but I do prefer the MERP timeline and products that support it. Different strokes and all that. [/QUOTE]
