Character Advancement design questions

[Psychman]

Hi, I am involved in a discussion elsewhere about various aspects of the rules of The One Ring, in particular, the character advancement system. Is there a document or article that explains the design decisions for aspects such as the AP/XP split, the AP earning system, and how these feed into the greater game design and establishment of the mood and tone that the game intends to evoke.

Thanks!

Here's a good discussion from a while back, talking about the differences between the original rules and revised rules: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2647

This is a bit of long-winded discussion, but I think it helps too: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=876 (Bear in mind that a lot of the complaints are things that became cleared in the revised rules.)

And, I just wrote a big thing on Google Plus, let me know if you didn't see there and would like to repost it here.
