Hi Dave, I bought the FF One Ring rpg a few months ago. Not used it yet, but I like the fact it has Strider Mode, a solo mode. Which you can print off. I personally wanted to move away from D&D 5e for lots of reasons. The One Ring looks promising. I'm a huge Tolkien fan and live in the Northwest of England. Tolkiens son studied at Stonyhurst College near where I live. Looking forward to running this. I just hope they release more supplements.
I have the older Adventures in Middle Earth for 5e that Cubicle 7 put out. I've been on the fence about getting these as I also have The One Ring. I might get them now. Thank you for the video and the share Dave.
Fantastic video
I think I'll look for these books.
I'd like to see you compare/contrast the two versions of the game.
Regret not going in on the One Ring Kickstarter and would like to see which would be worth picking up now.
This one. I went all in on the TOR 2e KS, got all the stuff and utterly hated the mechanics. The books look great and the tone is nice, but the mechanics are so clunky and board gamey. This seems like a vast improvement to me. And we don't even play 5e. We play Castles & Crusades, but I've converted lots of 5e stuff over to C&C and it's pretty easy. So I decided to pick up this to play once we finish our current campaign. We have a couple big Tolkien fans and are looking for something a bit more low magic so this seems ideal.
There's another one ring kickstarter right now
I still consider the old Rolemaster version to be the definitive LotR RPG
You mean MERP? I love it too, but recently tried a one shot after not playing it for a long time and we just don't have the patience for all those charts and bookkeeping anymore. Back in the 80s-90s we loved it. But my current group doesn't want to spend time on that stuff.
According to a friend who had it, supposed to be a hard game to play.
@@sunsin1592 MERP was the cut down version of Rolemaster. All the relesed LotR adventure/region settings were for RM
question: do you ppl prefer the original "The One Ring" or the 5e version? having in mind that the setting and adventures, art, etc are the same, only the rules differ.Personally i prefer the original because the rules were made specifically for this setting and fit perfectly and even twerked in this second edition.
The 5E version is still relatively new so I haven't heard many people discuss it yet.
I think it could serve as a great way for fans of 5E to get familiar with Free League and open them up to the great games they produce.
I really love The One Ring myself, but would consider getting the 5e version just for new players who are coming from 5e and might have a hard time adapting to the other systems rules.
I find it kind of annoying that the full rules aren't in the LOTR RPG (meaning they expect you to have a D&D 5e PHB).
I prefer The One Ring ruleset but do think it can be on the complicated side of things, especially when compared to basic 5e concepts.
Here's what I've found is missing: combat is much much quicker in TOR. Injuries are quite deadly and often one hit kill basic enemies. This also means you are easier to kill as well. There is a lot more simulation management when it comes to Endurance with TOR but 5e version has some of that as well. Overall just found the rules to match the theme better in TOR but found the 5e to be easier to pick up.
The One Ring is SO much better. The one ring needs more love. It was designed around the specific mechanics.
I disagree, while One Ring is geared solely for LotR the combat system seems overly complex IMO, I would hardly say its empirically better. With 5E we don't have to waste the precious little time we have together learning a new rule set for each RPG series. Everyone's already played DnD and Baldur's Gate 3
Gandolf strokes frodo's..... Oh wait different role play
