Firstly thanks guys for the update, though my wife will probably divorce me for buying all this stuff, it looks great.
Couple of questions 1. Does this mean the yearly core sets have gone for a burton? 2. I remember it being stated that things like Rangers of the North would be a very advanced character how will they fit into play? Thanks again for all the new info (very excited). Cheers, Steve |

1. The update says it is. 2. Looks like Rivendell will include both Noldorin Elves and Dunedain Rangers, so that is two high powered PC options. -------------------- “There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. ...

Yeah, the Ranger / Rivendell connection and the various implications thereof was something I was starting to explore. Not sure I can continue that line of conjecture though.
With the way TOR's mechanics work, you have to establish at least two Patrons and/or Sanctuaries in any geographic region. Otherwise a party, sent out from one Patron/Sanctuary, has no where to go for recovery (barring returning). -------------------- Garn!
I have yet to read the books thoroughly. |

Yes... well that's actually a very good question because, truth be told, nobody really knows. It's a rather quaint British expression meaning that something has died or been abandoned. For example, "I was planning on going out tonight but can't now get a babysitter, so that plan has gone for a Burton. No one seems to know exactly where the phrase derives from or what the "Burton" is, although Googling it will throw up a number of suggestions. Hope that helps. -------------------- 'Tall ships and tall kings

Blimey! I guess Big Steve is old enuff ter clin' ter dyin' phrases... I mean dis expression 'asn't quite 'gone fer a burton' itself, but i' is certainly well on its way. Nuff said, yeah?

That's really interesting. I use the phrase, and have spent years trying to figure out the rhyming slang connection with Richard Burton, thinking it was probably something to do with "Dick" or "Dicky". Never managed to connect the dots and now I know why.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to spending lots of money on future supplements.
Oh and my first thought was Tim Burton, followed by Jack Burton... |
