Amazon TV will tell me everything I need to know about Middle-earth!

Will it tell you what happened to all the ponies?  WHAT ABOUT THE PONIES, TOM?

(They met up with Fatty Lumpkin and everything was fine. The End)

Just like it did for Westeros?

I believe the TOR 2ed Kickstarter drops tomorrow.

Oooooh...  And here I was promising that I wouldn't buy any more books until I'd read more of the ones I currently own. 

I got the email to back it. The pledge count was at 129 and by the tine I was able to read what was in the starter set reward it had already reached 700 something pledges. I can only imagine what will happen with a Moria set.

My only gripe right now. The core book has background info on Bree and key sites in Eriador which I think were already covered. Makes me wonder how much of the book is actually rules and what not.

On the plus side I think we will be getting a grand campaign setting book for that area as the next release.

I tried to make a pledge - I am not sure if they still take it once goals are met. In any case, they have my credit card number and how much I am willing to give them, so here is hoping! I am not sure I will but every book they put out for this edition like I did the first, but I will certainly pay attention. If anything, the artwork is stunning.

They take pledges as ling as the campaign is active, so twenty more days.

I dont think the conversation is that huge actually. I bought it to have a hard copy like I did when they updated the first edition. I think the changes are in how Hope is used and how characters are made but I think the conversion is easy. If they create new material I'll buy it. I'd like to see another grand campaign, Gondor, and Moria. If nothing else to round oht what I have. I am also goad they did this before retooling the 5e version. I just dont want to see them rehash the Eriador stuff they already put out. 

Yes, I read through the list of stretch goals thinking 'that's already out there...  And that, too'. 

It sounds like they've completely retooled the journey and social interaction rules, though, so I'm interested to see what they've come up with.

And the art, I'm sure, will be stunning.  Free League games always have pretty pictures.

ToR kickstarter passed 1million dollars. I am a backer, interested to see the changes, new art looks awesome too.

Same here.  I'm particularly interested to see what they've come up with for the new journey rules, given that this will be the third stab SG have had at it. 

Also, my Twitter-stalking of Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan tells me that he's still working away on the Moria supplement. 

They mentioned moria on the Q&A video. While ysterday they mentioned that there may be mass battle rules in the Gondor book.

As for journeys it seems like they took the bucket of dice criticism to heart, but still no idea on what they came up with.

They also changed TN to be based upon your core stats which I am not sure exactly how that works either.

If I were to do it based upon stats, the lower the stat, they higher the TN -- some sort of static equivalency (1=18, 2=16, 3=14, etc.).  Or possibly # skill dice * stat = TN, keeps the difficult more personal (ie unique) per character, and in our tabletop environment would make more work for the players to ensure they determined the correct TN as the GM would just tell us the scenario and pertinent attribute and we would likely determine the skill and maybe attribute if the GM didn't say.

Anyone going in on the special edition core book?

And when this comes out, is there a plan to change systems?
