That's what I want for the game.As far as mechanics and rules go, I'm more than served with what we have now. I like a lot how the core game is able to condense almost everything needed for an epic game. Darkening was released with only the rules from the Core, and I haven't seen anything better in years (well, I've NEVER seen anything better, in fact): and there are no magic items rules, or army battles, or special rules for handling horses.To me, good adventures and stories are what make a game good or excelent, much more than brilliant rules or tons of expanded options

I fully agree with Farenthal on this! Adventurer's companion is actually the volume I'm least excited about.

Even the smallest person can change the course of history, even the unlikeliest character might become a hero, and every adventure begins by stepping out the door. An invaluable supplement for The One Ring Roleplaying Game, The Adventurer's Companion introduces a host of new rules - from new combat options and a new calling, the Captain, to rules for generational play and expanded rules for holdings. It also contains new heroic cultures, including the Men of Gondor, Bree-folk, and the Elves of Lorien.
