@jazl1yn Most films don't do extensive rehearsals. You actually want to try and capture the first take, fresh, without feedback from the director--because that's the ONLY time you'll ever get that performance. Once the director says anything, the performance changes.
I've been doing my annual LotR reread, and have been SO in the mood to run a Middle-earth RPG game.
But which one to use? MERP? Lord of the Rings RPG? The One Ring?
The answer was: none and all of them. Hacked my own retroclone for today's session. Details in comment ⤵️
@JazzElves Thanks for writing this. As someone who has a metacurrency in their game and struggled hugely with implementing it (but eventually landed on something I loved) and who hates 5e's vibes-based Inspiration, this was enlightening.
@CypressDahlia I hope it doesnt. I think it's great to cram this kind of sick (positive) body horror and monster design into what is ostensibly for 6 year olds, because they'll carry that for the rest of their lives.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
