I have to say, I really love this RPG system, I'm reading it right now, and there is a wonderful storyteller aspect to it. Looking forward to running it with my group and engaging in adventures across the Wildlands! Why did you buy the One Ring?

This one, I think, does the setting justice and has a clean and workable system. -------------------- Current EU RPG Group Games: European FG2 RPG Friday (8pm to 11pm UK time; Ultimate License) - Classic Traveller Sunday (8pm to 11pm UK time; Ultimate License) - The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild Using Ultimate FGII and can accept unlicensed player connections on some of the games. ----------------- LOTRO - Brandywine Server Halbras - Hobbit Hunter / Jonab - Bree-folk Captain / Ardri - Dwarf Guardian / Halaberiel - Elf Hunter

Why did you buy the One Ring?

Because it's a RPG set in and made for Middle-earth. That's reason enough.

Cheers

It understands the Middle Earth and Tolkien and it is fully in spirit accordingly to the Middle Earth Lore. The Artwork and the System is just pure Tolkienesque. -------------------- "Morgoth!" I cried "All hope is gone but I swear revenge! Hear my oath! I will take part in your damned fate!"

I'm actually a fan of the CODA system by Decipher, but there things about this game that I like even better (the magic is more subtle and infused into each of the cultures). -------------------- Currently running Villains & Vigilantes (campaign is now 22 years old), Star Wars d6, and The One Ring.
