Though I've noted that my players skip through the encounter rules with little problem. I am disappointed by them actually because it seems very easy for the PCs to "win" encounters.

Otherwise I have few complaints about the rules.

Mine do too, da. But that might not be a bad thing. My players generally role-play their characters as being forthright, honorable, honest, respectful, etc. I think if they took more of a "murder hobo" or devious and sneaky approach, they wouldn't do nearly as well! :lol:

Well Ep 6 happened.

The group gained a new member, who was also up to no good in Fangorn. They met with Skinbark. Our session ended with them journeying back to Saruman and stumbling upon an ancient run down villa.

Listen now!

Next episode is up.

But we don't actually start for about an hour. Some of our players were unavoidably late.

Episode 008

The Fellowship has rejoined one another after a season of respite in both Isengard and Helms Deep. With no direction given by Saruman the Company determined to help Helms Deep gather the resources to repair it. However, as they journeyed to the fabled fortress they were met by a fast rider. Rydelyn, niece of Grimborn, had news of a raid to the south west of Grimslade. The Fellowship hastened to the village as Rydelyn pressed on to Grimsborn, then Helms Deep. There they found a raided village. Burnt houses, dead villagers, and 3 dead horses. They pursued the raiders, nearly defeating them upon find. Then determined to go to Helms Deep to raise a force to deal with the Foul Frana.

We played but it didn't tape, here is Ep009's synposis

Ep Synopsis
PCs met Frana and rebuffed his offer to visit his people. They made their way to the Village then Grimslade. There they were rebuked first for not killing Frana when they had a chance, and then for Eofric going above Grimsborn head to get the glory for himself. Finally they saved Leofold and Merwyn from death at the hands of White Mountain Orcs.
