An example, I had my players meet Radagast and a Giant Eagle in the first adventure. They we reverential to both, making this more than a simple Patron opportunity and a passing NPC. The lore of the books lends power to the environment.2) Amoungst the fastest combat systems I've played lately. Much faster than 4e or Rogue Trader. We found it almost as fast as 3:16. The initiative is based on how you are attacking, so people know when they are acting and can jump in. One roll usually resolves an attack (except the occassional piercing).3) I like not having mages as an option, but I understand where you are coming from. The magic in this game is subtle and everyday, like in the books, which is exactly what I want from Middle Earth.The bottom line is I think this is a brilliant game for simulating the Middle Earth I want, but a good call asking questions before you get into it because I'm sure this game will not suit everyone's style.</blockquote>
