So we're just finishing up the first Starter Set Adventure and looking towards the second. There's been some...attrition so I'm looking for any more interest to join the game. Starter Set Adventures with the pre-gen characters but using the full Core Set rules.
Hi
Only just noticed this thread really.

Since Tavern Keeper's Bill gave notice of the end of that site, I've been wildly dragging stuff (almost exclusively TOR 1e) onto Gamers Plane to continue the three games we had running over there. But I helped start one TOR2E game and have dragged that across as well.
However, I would appreciate spectating on your game as I still don't feel super confident with TOR 2E.
Is that OK?

Let me know when you get past the Hobbits-only starter box, Mephi! ;)

What do the pre-gens look like?

The first is done! I don't know what's next.

We were all Hobbits in the first one. I don't know if that holds true for the next one.

Happy to invite you in as a spectator but I'm not claiming any special expertise! The Starter Set Adventures (even modified slightly to use the Core Rules as we've been doing) don't give a full reflection of the what the full game is like.

I might have time to have a punt at a full game once we've finished with the Expert Treasure Hunters Start Set Adventure - that should take us past the summer and hopefully I'll have a bit more space and will know the rules a bit better. They're really annoyingly set out in the Core Rulebook! I'll post in this thread when I'm able to start.

All Hobbits and related to the characters from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. So we have Primula Brandybuck and Paladin Took II played by C1NDER and ForeverDED, Drogo Baggins by Frandal (maybe), Rory Brandybuck, Lobelia Bracegirdle, and Esmerelda Took going free along with Bilbo Baggins himself. They're all Hobbits of the Shire but the way they've been written they differ a little from the Core Set by not getting their Cultural Blessing of Hobbit-Sense, not getting a Calling and therefore no Distinctive Feature, only getting one Useful Item, and not getting a Starting Reward. They also don't have any weapons. Bilbo is an exception to all of this. If someone wanted they could generate a player-hero from the Core Rules but they'd need to be a Hobbit for these adventures.

If there is any space on this one, message me!
May 4, 2025 9:00 pm
Definitely spaces. We're looking for players.
May 7, 2025 2:52 pm
I'm cool with playing a hobbit so count me in.
May 8, 2025 6:15 pm
So currently I have returning:
- C1NDER as Primula Brandybuck
- ForeverDED as Paladin Took II
- Honor_Over_All as Rory Brandybuck

I'm not sure about:
- Frandal as Drogo Baggins

And I have Dunheved as spectator (feel free to join the chat in OOC threads)

So I have space at least for 2:
- The_Cupboard_Gnome
- Ysolde

So I'll send out some invites. Once you accept the invite we can discuss characters in the character creation/pre-gen characters thread and you can see how the first adventure went.

Is there still space? Interested in joining

Sure I'll invite you - just finalizing numbers.
