Yes, yes I did think I was getting a free horse it said so in my PHB. Then my DM pointed out this rule in the DMG. I probably sulked more than was really called for, but that was such a bummer. I was actually about to grab my 1st edition books to note this rule as well.

I must confess that I after reading both core books multiple times, I prefer Lord of the Rings 5e rpg over The One Ring 2nd edition RPG. And I don't think it is mainly because of my familiarity with 5e.

Well untill the DM countered it with the Wall of the Faithless.

Me Too. Got one up to about 11th level in 1st ed. Everyone hit the highlights, but in 1st there were a lot of good lockdown spells for the Illusionist. 1st level Color Spray and Wall of god was my go to spells with PF when useable, 2nd was Blind, Deafness, Blur IPG Mirror Image, 3rd level...

Careful, asking that question is partly responsible for us getting Highlander 2.

For 2nd edition, Temple, Tower &Tomb. I don't remember liking the adventure, but I seem to remember liking the maps enough to use multiple times.

You ain't kidding. There was a time in my group during the late 80s to mid-90s that we would regularly get this conversation: 1: Lets start a new campaign 2: Cool, D&D or GURPS? Having seen Steve J. at a panel at a Gen-Con around 1995ish, I am very glad he managed to last so long.

Look at The Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master. The author Mike Shea post here as Sly Flourish, he has books, podcast and YouTube Channel. It is good stuff and helpful even to old DMs like myself.

I saw that and liked it very much. No rolls needed, you have to find the recipe, then gather the ingrediants, then have a short amount of time and boom you got it. No ingrediants come from humanoids, and each player has enough time to harvest 1 ingrediant from each monster after a battle.

We just got back from a vacation in NYC and my son has decided to go to FIT up there, maybe I can make one of these shows one day

I have also noticed that some of the most popular streaming games (and others I enjoy very much) the players aren't in character all the time. They switch to third person often to describe what the character does including social interactions. And that seems to work really well Also, I don't...

How about getting Vin Diesel to write a section on DM Tips for dealing with lone wolf players? That would be useful, by a celebrity, and based on what I have read about his play style, an area of knowledge for him.

And I QFT your QFT. My lack of The One Ring 1st edition books is testement to get your licensed gaming stuff early. Yes, I had years to get it, but didn't cause I knew I would not get it to the table, by the time I decided to maybe get some it was already too late.

I found the 2022 move The Outfit to be outstanding.

I have the core book and the source book on Arrikas. I don't think it would be a problem at all to run a campaign very different than the books. If the bundle includes the book on the Emperor's Court or the Landsraad I think you would be gold.
