    I started the year playing in a maximalist #MasksOfNyarlathotep campaign (for #CallOfCthulhu), two #OSE campaigns, one #DnD5e campaign in #ForgottenRealms, and one each of Classic #TravellerRPG, #MonsterOfTheWeek and #TheOneRing. (3/25)

    1. Which system do you prefer and why?
    2. What do you think are the strengths of your preferred system (out of the two mentioned above)
    3. What do you think are the flaws of the other?

  16. The #Artwork for #TheOneRing #ttrpg, the new #StarterSet is a blast, even if you're not into #LotR like I am. I'm just not a #HighFantasy fan, like dark #SwordandSorcery much more. But the beautiful game material wants to be played right away. Damn. #ttrpg #fantastic #art #TOR

  19. My partner, never interested in TTRPG, asked me to GM a game of The One Ring 2e.
    I feel like I've been blessed. Now I need to read the book to learn the rules ASAP.

  21. Bunch of low key Tolkien nerds at work, and for my sins I'm contemplating starting a weekly lunchtime The One Ring game. Snag a conference room, order a pizza, do my best impression of Ian McKellen's Gandalf impression for an hour - could be fun!

  22. While by all accounts Free League Publishing did excellent work with their #TheOneRing #ttrpg for #Tolkien 's #MiddleEarth , I think it's not a setting I would enjoy much.

    That's because of the overwhelming theme of loss and decline in the setting. Yes, Sauron's minions can be thwarted and Sauron himself will eventually be defeated. But still, the world will decline and become less and less fantastic over time. And this loss can be staved off for a while - indeed, that's what the rings of the Elves did - but not stopped.

    And that's a bit too depressing for my tastes.

  24. [caption id="attachment_17538" align="aligncenter" width="720"] When Gil-galad and Elendil slew Sauron on the slopes of Mount Doom, his spirit fled his body and left the One Ring behind. Why didn’t he take it with him, as he had after the Downfall of Númenor? Here is what we know.[/caption]

  25. Guten Morgen an diesem sonnigen Samstag,

    ich wache auf und hätte Lust auf einen Ausflug nach Mittelerde. Möchte mich jemand mitspielen lassen bei "Der Eine Ring"? Ich hab es noch nie gespielt würde es aber gerne mal ausprobieren.

    Ich mein nicht jetzt sofort aber in nächster Zeit? 😃

  28. So I’ve had the #TheOneRing starter set lying around, half-prepped (I could probably run the first adventure spontaneously, and the rest with short notice).
    For our semi-open-table #TTRPG nights at the club, I usually bring it along – just in case an opportunity comes up.

    Yesterday I was in a hurry and left it at home.
    Didn’t think I’d need it. Never have.

    Guess what happened?

  30. We need people with money and fame to use that power to liberate us from the influence of money and fame. I know that's asking a lot. To give up your power. But those tools corrupt and are being used constantly against us to control people. #TheOneRing

    Instead of doing a few other good things, help us grow the fedi. If it was integrated into all media, it would end the outsized power of corporate news and platform owners and advertisers to tell us what to think about and how. Please. #SocialWeb

  32. #TTRPG idea I’ll probably never realize: A campaign set in #MiddleEarth, following the tracklist of #BlindGuardian’s 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth"

    Having the PCs take part in those big events themselves wouldn’t really work. Instead, maybe the heroes, in the Third Age, collect Elven songs and stories that match the album’s songs—perhaps for Bilbo’s collection? Along the way, they experience events that reflect those themes or visit places tied to them.

  34. Moving along, in 2025, I'll tackle a new, weekly #OSE game (#TheHallsOfArdenVul), as well as continuing campaigns of OSE, #CallOfCthulhu, #DCCRPG, #DnD5e, #TheOneRing, and #TravellerRPG from 2024. And at the very least, I'll get to play in person at #CanCon, if not other cons and game days (possible now because I've finally settled down in a city). In all likelihood, I'll probably finally catch COVID, but that's the price of assembling in crowds these days, I guess.

  35. That said, though, I got to play the #ADnD1e classic White Plume Mountain, an abridged version of #TravellerRPG's equally noteworthy “Ancients" saga (albeit mostly in #CypherSystem), @Splinterbone's ongoing #DnD5e #ForgottenRealms campaign, an irregular #MonsterOfTheWeek game, began campaigns of #OSE and #TheOneRing, and proudly participated in Al Smith's likely endless reimagining of #CallOfCthulhu's colossal #MasksOfNyarlathotep, featuring amongst many other embellishments…
