edonil Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hey, spoilers. Sounds pretty neat, actually! Middle Earth is definitely a cool setting. What can you play as? And I'm hoping it works, I've been trying to figure out a way to outline for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well I didn't say which Smaug it is..... Beorning, Man of The Wild, Elf of Mirkwood, Dwarf of the Lonely Mountain or Hobbit of the Shire...... though more races are coming out in the sourcebooks, so men of the Lake are in the Laketown guide.

edonil Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 ...I feel like I should know that first word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Beorn was the shapeshifter in the Hobbit who turned into a bear..... beornings are his followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ah! Gotcha, thanks. I wondered if Beorn was the shapeshifter, but couldn't remember. That mean Beornings get to shapeshift too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 No, just mountain men who follow his leadership..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ah, okay. Not as much fun, but it does fit the setting infinitely better, lol. Sounds like a neat game, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Majority of the reviews I read were very positive..... it is the first Middle Earth RPG to be written for Middle Earth rather then just shoehorning it into an existing system. By all accounts it feels right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Cool. Good to see more companies working at it from that angle, honestly, moving away from Wizard's legacy. Not that there's anything wrong with DnD, but there's a whole bunch of stuff where it just doesn't fit too well, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Oh you can play Bardings too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah.... it was an interesting time they chose to set it in too, rather then the War of the Ring time. Evil is just starting to creep back into the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 ...why would you play as horse armor? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Honestly, I think I like that better, puts it at a point where exploring and everything makes sense and feels right instead of 'so...we just gonna ignore the war over there? I mean, the five of us just took on Smaug's cousin, we should probably help...' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Look forward to reading it a bit more soon..... actually quite excited about this RPG at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Glad it's a Friday and the weather's nice. I just hope it goes quickly. Finished my cheesy sci-fi reading, back to fantasy for a bit. I've started the Brent Weeks Night Angels books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
