Purchased! I learned my lesson when I bought Rivendell on Amazon.com.

As I don't usually buy printed adventures (DoM being the biggest exception) I was wondering if there was any supplemental information in RotN that won't be contained in the future rules Supplements?

Got the pdf, gave it a quick readthrough.

A full review will have to wait (I don't like reviewing books without reading them at least thrice) but I am impressed with it. The overall tone is rather, well, harsh. The adventures contain a lot more tragic elements than TfW and some of the stuff is seriously grown-ups only. This without being juvenile or tasteless, it's a serious feat to pull off.

None that I was able to find after a quick skim. They are excellent adventures, though.

Another absolutely first rate effort, well done all! My download link came within 10 or 20 seconds of completing my purchase online from Australia, which was just the icing on the cake!!! I hope the whole TOR community supports this excellent volume - yes it is very much more for the GM than the player, and it may gather dust on your shelf as a player until you have eventually made your way through it, but it will be well worth the wait for all of that!

cheers
Mark

Damn you, Cubicle 7. Probably I should just send you a few percents of my salary automatically every month...

I've read carefully through three of the six adventures so far. GREAT stuff.
