I'm still getting the hang of the game but freaky looking forward to my solo campaign. I'm reading Ruins of the lost realms, and together with the core book there is so much good stuff going on, landmarks and big dark designs.

So I'm just curious. Do you lean toward open sandbox or more scripted story line in your campaigns? I have read tales of the lone lands so i don't have an example of the latter. Playing solo, I'll lean on the open sandbox thanks to all that content.

Happy gaming

I love the idea of a PC with high song skills but it seems to me it can be used for lots of things. Awakening emotions in people (enhearten), make good impressions (courtesy), and with a stretch the right song can awe, persuade, and provide lore.

I played FitD games and there creative use of "skills" is encouraged, maybe you get some penalties for the roll.

I'll play solo, so my games my rules, still I'd like to hear your opinion and stick to the original design as much as I can. The Singing Songs practical application seems too restrictive to me.

Cheers!

EDIT: thanks for all the suggestions, I think the game design is quite flexible

Hey, it seems I can't run a simple campaign where i start in a dungeon or a tavern :)

My idea is to play character A in the past and character B in the present. A investigates about some dangerous villain but they will not defeat it. On the present, B may stumble upon consequences, legacies, and assorted stuff related to A while trying to defeat the same villain.

The simple option is running 2-4 session with A and stop wherever they manage to proceed in the quest against the villain. Then i start my main campaign with B and consider everything that A did.

But... I'm trying to think how i can mix the gameplay. One session with A and then one with B in the same area or dealing with the same stuff? I stop tne session with B before entering a location and i play A in the past there? It may work in a movie but not in solo play...

Long rant, if you have any suggestions it is much appreciated!!!

Btw, the system is The One Ring. B plays at the suggested Third Age 2965(?), A maybe centuries earlier.

I'm almost ready to buy and play The One Ring. I'm having a Tolkien moment and I'm happy to try out a new system.

However.. I'm used to Ironsworm & co with only player facing rolls also for combat. I'm just worried I won't enjoy the combat system there, altough it seems short and brutal so it shouldn't feel like a drag.

What is your opinion about TOR combat? Especially compared to narrative and/or player facing systems?

Happy gaming!

EDIT: I'm sold, i'll get a copy at my LFGS this week

I'm aware at Nuuksio kansallispuisto there's firewood available at the grill areas.

Is ir the same for every park? Even in Siiponkorpi?

Thanks!

Ps I'm aware of all forest fires related safety instructions
