The stars aligned and I got to run games of #TheOneRing2e for TWO groups of friends this month! The setting being LotR really helped my sales pitch, and I think it was a huge step on my journey to deprogram my friends from D&D lol
We played the starter set adventure: Over Hill and Under Hill. For the module's finale (crawling through a spooky cavern) we turned off the lights and busted out lanterns around the table. It was an absolute blast!
8/8 of my friends would recommend
#RPGaDay2025 - 7 - Journey
TL;DR; Not Traveller today, instead thoughts about how well #TheOneRing2e puts journeys at the heart of the game.

Blog - LongCon 2025 After-Action Report
TL;DR: The post describes organising the convention and then my experience of a weekend full of #TheOneRing2e #ttrpg playing through most of the Lone Lands campaign run expertly by @eladrin.
#LongCon is a long-form game convention, where you play the same game for the whole weekend.

Just received a shipping note from #FreeLeague. I assumed it would be #coriolisTheGreatDark #kickstarter for which they had sent the address confirmation check last week.
But in fact it's the new #TheOneRing2E starter set.
I might even receive it before its official announcement on Thursday.
Do I buy too much of their stuff? Maybe 😬
#TheOneRing2e is a VERY different game to the OSR style games I've been reading lately.
Starting gear? All your favorite weapons and armor. Oh you mean like gear? uhhh idk a "reasonable amount" of "useful items". yeah they can be whatever and they're free. Food and stuff can't expire.
You're not a player-character, you're a player-hero, you don't have to worry about dying of something pitiful or mundane like starvation. You don't have to quest to trade your 10-foot pole for that longsword you want. Here's 10 free points to spend on skills straight out the gate because you're already cool and powerful.
@Mellando "Hear! Hear!" - but rather too boisterous to allow for such.
I have my first three solo made #TheOneRing2e #ttrpg laid out together like the books awaiting our expected meeting ca. T.A. 2965.
