[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8514993, member: 6779310"] You missed a huge thread in FL's forums during the playtest, then. About 15 of us. One of the most prolific fans of 1E has decided, like me, to walk away. Rich. I know he's on RPGGeek these days. It has ONE improvement: the travel rules. Everything else is not as good. At least, not in beta. I've not gotten my books nor my final PDFs, the latter despite complaining to them. [LIST] [*]Difficulty as adjusting number of dice means having to reveal difficulty to players before they roll, [LIST] [*]and prevents them from having correct dice pool in hand/dice-cup before their turn [*]And the TN being fixed by doesn't speed up things when they can't be ready to roll without GM attention [/LIST] [*]Song rules turned from multi-task to monotask [*]too easy to regain hope in 2E. Overshoot. [*]Weapons lose one stat, "Edge" - which was "What does my natural roll need to be to threaten a wound." [*]No cultural weapons. Those added flavor [*]Didn't fix the problems with the Rivendell treasure system, and made it standard rather than optional, this... [LIST] [*]upped the number of magic items in the party [*]upped the treasure gained by the party [/LIST] [*]Made the Eye of Sauron core... but didn't fix it. My party, after 3 adventures, was having revelations EVERY TIME THEY LEFT RIVENDELL! [LIST] [*]It's still per party, no correction for how many members. [*]It's pretty steep due to the much increased amount of magical treasure. [/LIST] [*]Monsters have trouble hitting PCs. [*]PCs have little difficulty hitting anything short of the toughest monsters. [/LIST] If you find that better, enjoy. They lost me at the beta. And already have my money. Still, I know the dead tree will appreciate in value. [/QUOTE]
