Hey guys,

I am super new to TTRPGs, actually, I’ve never played a single ttrpg ever haha.

In a previous post, I was asking about trying out The One Ring and was encouraged to give it a shot, even without having friends to play. I made the leap and purchased the starter kit, the core rules, and strider mode.

Doing some research, I heard it may be fun to try a premade adventure or two for my first couple times. But from what I understand, Tales from the Lone Lands and the adventures that come in the starter kit are geared towards group play and will contain spoilers reserved for GMs and will be hard to navigate solo.

If that’s true, is there any premade adventures geared for solo play? Official or fan made? Open to any help as well. I’m super nervous to start my first run ever haha.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm new to TOR but I love D&D and Lotr.

I find the collectors editions absolutely stunning and I'm thinking of getting at least some of them.

The ones I rlly want are the Gondor and Moria ones. (I have tor 2e core rules unrevised)

Is It smart to get just those two or will I regret not getting the 4 collectors editions...?

To preface this, I've just received a used starter set that came with one complete set of white dice.

However, it also came with three sets of d6 dice without any feat dice.

Is it possible to purchase individual feat dice anywhere? I couldn't find any when I looked online.

I am looking to enhance my Strider Mode experience and I know there is a huge amount of (apparently high quality) fan made content available on the discord group.

Do you have any tips of what material to get?

>Hideous Toughness. The creature is unaffected by unarmed attacks. Additionally, when an attack inflicts damage to the creature that would cause it to go to zero Endurance, it causes a Piercing Blow instead. Then, if the creature is still alive its Endurance score is set back at half its maximum rating.

Every time an enemy with this feature appears on the battlefield, both my players and I know that carnage is about to happen.

Earlier in our campaign, I downed 2 PCs (one of whom genuinely died) with a cave troll slinker, and then today I TPK'd the entire party with an Udûn-orc fire-touched.

In each scenario, those enemies were joined by 4-6 other orcs (against a company of 4 PCs). The enemy with Hideous Toughness far outlasted all the other enemies - this is because at Attribute Level 6, they also have a relatively large pool of Hate and good Armor values to avoid potential wounds.

Even though the PCs were consistently dropping the enemy to 0 Endurance, the enemy just. would. not. die!

At this point, I'm seriously considering some kind of nerf to this feature because it seems like there's nothing the players can do to counter it or play around it. They have to simply hope that the enemy rolls poorly on their Protection rolls. In theory, this should happen more often than it does for our table!

And to my absolute shock, while searching this subreddit, I learned that the current version of Hideous Toughness is actually a nerfed version - it used to be even stronger, bringing back the enemy's Endurance to full rather than just half! Holy shit.

Does it sound like I'm doing something incorrectly? Or are my Hideous Toughness-having enemies just insanely lucky with their Protection rolls?

Planning to play with my wife, but we lack the friends( :D) Planning to play just the two of us. Can it be done with me being the lore master and me controlling another PC char? and my wife another?

Hello! I was gifted both starter set and core book. I'm trying to figure out the differences between in terms of what rules are in each. Thanks for any help!
