I don't think I could bring myself to use it (at least RAW) today. Many of the supplements remain awesome, however.Akrasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734103159691571156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-78422630529928417192016-03-16T02:35:10.357-04:002016-03-16T02:35:10.357-04:00I only played TOR a couple of times (as a player, ...I only played TOR a couple of times (as a player, not a GM), and I didn't care for it. But that may be because I did not fully understand the rules. However, I think I'm more comfortable with a 'traditional' RPG approach (like MERP or, hopefully, the forthcoming 5e D&D variant).Akrasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734103159691571156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-8904879960573736012016-03-16T02:32:56.184-04:002016-03-16T02:32:56.184-04:00I was surprised to learn some years back that Fraz...I was surprised to learn some years back that Frazetta did a number of Middle-earth illustrations:<br />http://akraticwizardry.blogspot.ca/2011/04/frazettas-middle-earth-pictures.htmlAkrasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734103159691571156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-60032565935512985542016-03-15T09:08:18.227-04:002016-03-15T09:08:18.227-04:00Interesting.

We mostly has warriors and scouts anyway though.<br />Thanks for the heads up about the forthcoming adaptation.

Even though I like the TOR rules they're, especially compared to Dnd 5e, a bit clumsy. But I do hope they keep/incorporate the excellent Fellowship phase rules in the DnD version.
