Honestly I have the complete opposite opinion about the sketch artwork. It is classic, evocative and leaves freedom to fill in details such as color if someone feels inspired to play them as a character.

Quick and easy to follow. Excellent stuff!

Great video and presentation. What app/tol you use for the maps?

The best analogy for The Shire v. the rest of Eriador is if the Apocalypse happened and Lancaster County Pennsylvania was completely spared. The Shire is blessed and the rest of Eriador is cursed.

Thanks for doing this and great explanation! I was considering your Mini-campaign to play solo but thought it too much for a solo PC. The band rules allows this without having to scale down the adventure, same for other landmark adventures. It doesn't need to be a band of 6, maybe 3 or 4 is enough. I'll read through the rules thoroughly. Thanks again!

One thing to also maybe consider with this is the rules about the Eye of the Enemy which mentions powerful magic increases the enemies gaze on the party. So that value can increase if a player is using this and casts stronger spells

Is Amon Rin made up? couldnt finid info about it. Great Adventures cant wait to try it out, also big fan of your channel!

Regarding the dimensions, Free League is a European publisher so naturally they will use standard ISO paper sizes like A4 for this book. Unfortunately North Americans insist on using inches instead.

A question; if art work and inspiration for adventures is important to me, which game should I choose?

Hi Will! Thank you for all your videos. What tool(s) did you use to create the maps for your adventures? Most tools I've seen (like dungeoncraft etc) seem too cartoonish to be used for this setting

The scope for TOR 2nd Edition might seem small a year ago. Since August 2024 is there now the Moria Supplement. Besides the two other supplements taking place in Eriador. But not only that. There is a load of supplements from the 1st Edition that can be used for the 2nd Edition, including the two Rohan supplements which is really good. It took Cubicle7 almost 10 years to publish a good number of supplements for the 1st Edition. Now Free League is working on more supplements for the 2nd Edition. And it comes in a nice stream. Next supplement is the Elven Expension; "Realms of the Three Rings". Nepitello and Free League is patiently working towards the East and the South of Eriador. Just be a tad patience. Everything can't come at once… 😉

The affliction of many peoples of the Americas to use the self-degrading feature of speech known as 'up-talk' is most saddening.

I love this.

Great video. Thank you very much. Love from Canada.❤

Love Ruins of Lost Realm. I ran the first three adventures for my crew. As a Loremaster, I needed to reshape the adventures into leaner highlights for easier reference during play. Also, it would be great to have maps without the numbers that can be shared with players.

Correct me if im wrong but the resistance is either a 3on a failure or a 4 on success+1 for every 6. If the time limit would allways match the resistance, it would be way to easy.

Is there any adventure in the core rules? What do people run first?

Going to run Balins expedition to Moira campaign. I am starting it at Erebor with some council scenes convincing Dain to allow and provide aid. The players will be dwarf champions recruited by Balin and will function as scouts and vanguard of the larger expedition force. They will need to return to Balin who stays with the expedition, to get quests and direction. Planning on some encounters with the elves near mirkwood, and beornings demanding tribute to cross the ford, on the trip to moria. When they get to moria they will go through the reclaiming and rebuilding all the way up to the tragedy and then we will see if they are able to escape with their lives or fall with the rest of the colony. Going to try and keep it as close to cannon as possible, but I am okay with deviations for the sake of the fun of the game.

This is fantastic review of a brilliant entry into this RPG! I am actually planning a solo campaign to start tomorrow stemming from Tarolch's Hall, I am really looking forward to it and it will be my entry into the Mines of Moria.

Where are the pdfs that you are using in this video? Can you please link or share them in the description? Pleeeease?

Thanks the the review! I agree that the Journey rules don't particularly appeal to me, especially for Moria. I'm preparing to run a Moria campaign, and I'm feeling much more comfortable running travel around Moria more like an urban campaign, with the famous landmarks as places the PCs can travel to with simple 1-in-6 random encounter checks as they move through each district. This blog post really help solidify running an urban area in this way for me: knightattheopera.blogspot.com/2021/06/a-thorough-look-at-urban-gameplay-in-d.html

Thank you so much for this review! Wanting to read it even more now. Looking forward to the secret project, goodluck and enjoy!

Brilliant review.

I hope they skip past an elven source book. I just don't think there's enough adventure to be had there. Looking forward to the secret project!

I'd like to hear more about how you handle travel events, or think they should be handled, in lieu of the official travel rules.

Also do we have this road map somewhere public to see?

Been playing through the solo rules with my partner re taking Moria. Has been very fight focused so far with the first and second halls being contested. Looking forward to see where Balin wants to send us.

Please share your thoughts about Moria Through The Doors of Durin. If you have played with the new solo mode I'd be very interested to hear what you think! As well, what are you hoping will be included in "The Realms of the Three Rings"?

I’ve been waiting for this review for a long time. Thanks for finally getting to it.

Thanks for this very important coverage! Love your content! Great stuff!!

Thank you for the video. Does 5e LotR support Strider Mode?

Can One play Strider Mode with the 5e Version?
