A post no one asked for :) But one I've been thinking on since posting on another thread about coming here to discuss a hobby I like, and my likes / dislikes. While been doing other systems more and more lately, most of my TTRPG history has been D&D, so focusing on this here. I'm also...

Yeah I think they did play Primula, though with Bilbo coming in and out of play, can't be sure she was there for that last bit. Yep, can talk to her Dad there, and the adventure notes for the person running it calls out that if Rory or Primula there then the encounter with the watchman should...

Just a bit further on it though, I agree with point that I don't see the adventure as being neo-trad, it felt very much Trad like any other published adventure we've run. I just wanted to give an alternative view from someone who did enjoy it, and had enough positive feedback to suggest we...

They may not have enjoyed it as much as I did, but they were interested in doing further adventures using the One Ring, especially once the Moria expansion comes out. Also regarding rails, as a group we tend to stick with published adventures these days as takes less time / stress for us, and...

Fair enough - I note we didn't use Lobelia or Rorimac, so didn't run into those issues there in play - I agree that those two do create a bit of a dissonance. Re the map bit - it is clear in his opening spiel that it is the mathom house he wants it from - i.e. the local museum, and is enough...

Is funny how opinions can differ on these - my friends and I ran through the adventures and quite enjoyed it. We found it worked well at introducing us to the rule set overall, albeit only saw two races and none of the journeying aspect, but got a good feel of the mechanics in it, as it...

You have called it a bad idea to use Greyhawk, which while not saying using Greyhawk a mistake, does feel stronger than just saying isn't the best choice. Some of those weird bits like strange tech/ radiation mutations could be good in the DMG for examples on how you could make a setting your...

For me though, if this is for new DMs who have never played other than 5e, then they don't need an explanation for why Dragonborn / Tieflings suddenly there, as new players have no concept of them not being there. The opportunity is just to present a Greyhawk that aligns with 5e, and doesn't...

And another general statement I guess, I come to Enworld (similar to going to other spaces for other hobbies / interests like Doctor Who, board gaming etc) as I like the hobbies / interests, and want to come to a space where I can talk about these things, share excitement around new products...

Well, some are clear ones I disagree on - similar to @Gradine 's reasons- ones that feel like they are being anti-inclusive / railing against more inclusive systems, but in a way that doesn't cross the line in terms of the rules of the site (though a couple I see have since been banned, so...

I'm quite similar, not sure I've interacted with any of the people on my ignore list, but they are there because I don't like either how they are treating others, or their posts are often triggering a not great reaction on my part, and so I'm better off just not seeing the posts than getting...

I just feel that at some point you have to accept that while you really like Pineapple on Pizza, they really don't like Pineapple on Pizza, and no amount of discussion on the virtues and hows of Pineapple on Pizza is going to make them change their mind.

I think the people in this very thread who say they thought the character was female, or had friends who thought the character was female, would prove this wrong, that there was uncertainty / ambiguity for a number of people.

editing my somewhat flippant response that I think was just adding to the negativity, I will just say there is a lot of bad things in the world, and for better or worse people end up having to choose what they will be concerned with as such for their own mental wellbeing, and different people...

My understanding of the PbtA games is that yep, there should have been hints that there was a threat to the princess, if the princess was of interest to the character. So that they had opportunity to try and stop it if they wished. Otherwise not being able to stop the assassin as not knowing...
