[The One Ring 2e] - What are people's experiences with this system? (self.rpg)

Hey everyone, the story of the current campaign (Homebrew DnD5e) I'm running is wrapping up and I'm planning to run the One Ring 2e for a bit before starting another long campaign. Players and I are excited for something a bit different and I've read through the rulebook/starter set a few times now.

Has anyone here had experience with the system and is there any system specific advice you have for it?

Thank you for your time reading 🙂

This is a really good response, thank you!

I see what you mean with the lore essential characters and tend to agree. I think I'll use the starter set for inspiration but discard a bunch of it including characters like Bilbo (outside of being an NPC if players insist on visiting bag end).

Thank you for the heads up on mechanics, I think (with admittedly no experience) that relative to systems like dnd5e it's still light enough to be manageable for a short-shot. I'll keep an eye out on how the crunch handled (and ask players how they feel about it as they play).
