Perhaps the best adventure-oriented book released for The One Ring to date. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordp...

Like the other One Ring 2e supplements, among the best in class. A bit challenging for a new party - I have run one of the adventures so far and it was an almost immediate TPK - but overall well presented and very stimulating. Looking forward to experimenting with the other adventures!

Uma campanha toda levando pra Colina do Medo... E nem os autores sabem como vencer o desafio. Aí quebra a bicicleta.

Aventuras:

1. A Troll-Hole, If Ever There Was One: eliminar os trolls habitando um vale e emboscando viajantes. A troll no lago é um toque bem legal.

2. Messing About in Boats: resgatar a filha do marinheiro bêbado, encontrar a espada mágica e limpar a ilha dos espíritos. Achei marromenos.
Os Lossoth dão um toque legal na lore.

3. Kings of Little Kingdoms: bandido fingindo ser Gandalf, tentando invadir a fazenda do rabugento e mantendo um guri refém. Meio estranha, mas gostei da corrida contra o tempo pro guri não virar comida de zumbi.

4. Not to Strike Without Need: salvar a pele do cuzão do Jon e resgatar o coitado do sapateiro da prisão. Legalzinha.

5. Wonder of the Northern World: MUITO bizarro essa elfa maluca. Ela receber até um fodendo orc em casa não desceu comigo.

6. The Quest of Amon Guruthos: bem sombria e macabra (a procissão dos mortos é fantástica), o dragão morto-vivo é surpreendente... Mas não hmm conclusão.

Tales from the Lone-Lands

A beautiful book with fantastic production values. The lore is interesting and the game scenarios all feel balanced. A shame that it hasn't got the cotton bookmark that other books have.

Also, it's very unfair that the publisher released this exact same content under a different title and cover for a different gaming system.

Great companion to Ruins of the Lost Realm, 6 adventures forming a loose campaign, spanning Eriador as well as Forodwaith and even the northwestern seas of Middle Earth. The adventures are somewhat plot-centric rather than sandboxy (though we're talking One Ring, not OSR) and need some tweaking/work from the Storyteller.
