For playability, I assume that Mirkwood isn't quite as impossible to travel through as The Hobbit would have us believe. Certainly the game rules don't make it impossible—just slow and difficult. But there's no chance of being so hopelessly lost you'll never find your way out again, or starve to death trying.

It's an odd disconnect. As a player playing for the first time, I was dead set against trying to enter Mirkwood, but really it's not THAT bad.

We got the demo video of Hobbit Tales, where's the one of your TOR campaign? ;)

Well, we have a little more recording equipment than last time we all met, and we're all meeting up for the next session soon, so whilst I can't promise anything, and it'll be a heck of an editing job... maybe, just maybe you might get to see us playing.

Then again we might just want to kick back and play without the eyes of the TORverse on us...
