OOC THREAD

I did not go for the special but did get the screen, starter kit, and region book. 

I'd like to see the alpha rules when they come out in the Spring. I think there is going to be some conversion info. Should get a feel as the videos and q&as drop.

Anyone going in on the special edition core book?

I did not go for the special edition. I did make the Fellowship of the Ring level of backing, plus enough money for the Ruins of the Lost Realm book. It is going to be a nice bundle of stuff for approximately $145.

*The One Ring™ Core Rules, Standard Edition, in hardback full-color printed format and in PDF format.
*The One Ring™ Starter Set in a full-color printed boxed set and in PDF format.
*All unlocked physical and digital stretch goals.
*An Alpha PDF version of the core rules and the starter set, in the summer of 2021.
*Ruins of the Lost Realm (add on)

I did that too but added the GM screen because it had a booklet on Rivendell.

I've gone for just the rulebook (and PDFs of everything else).  Paying for shipping to Australia is a woeful experience.

I figured my 1st edition Rivendell book was enough. Arnor  and Angmar, now those are fertile grounds for adventure creation.

I'm on FOUR WEEKS' LEAVE, guys! 

Expect a bit more attention to the game for a while. 

[Telcontar]

Oh man.... they are adding cloth maps too!!? 

My credit card just cried out in pain and rent its garments.

Okay, I'm back into it after helping J. with a bunch of uni admin bullshit. 

[Eclecticon]

Just a general announcement - I know everyone's busy with life stuff, but I don't want the story to founder.  If Matt hasn't posted an action in the next 24 hours, I'll take temporary charge of Grimbeorn and move things along.

Sorry guys, I've been heads down overtime over the past week     Back now 

[Eclecticon]

I'm working on a post to open a new thread, but it's running into various life deadlines.  I think I should be able to get something up on Friday, but it might not happen until the weekend. 

[Eclecticon]

Right, we're moving again.  Thanks for bearing with me, everyone.

Paul and all,

We have had some discussion about this before but how are we handling Standing in the game? I am trying to wrap my brain around a Dark Age culture and how to present my character to make the narrative consistent.

On one hand Hathcyn is a kin slayer among his clan, a rising property owner among the 'Kings' lands, banner bearer of the House of Beorn, and despoiler of Viglunds Hall...

You know what I answered this question while I was typing. This is exactly how noble families in the tenth century came to power in a changing social society. I guess we dont need standing mechanics.

[Eclecticon]

Oh no!  Have I killed the game again?  Are there any OOC questions you want answered to move things along?
