Game: The One Ring
Group type: Discord (voice) + Roll20 Experience: Any. New is fine.
Location/Timezone: Brisbane (UTC+10) Schedule: Weekly. c.4 hour
sessions. Start time is TBD, but 9:15pm Friday, Brisbane time,
tentatively. Other weeknights may work at earlier times. Roles
sought: 4-5 players Game style: Exploration and rp in a dynamic
world. About 10% of game time is combat, and the combat is not
particularly strategic. Low magic, death is permanent. I'm interested
in putting together a new weekly game set in Tolkien's lore. The One
Ring's main campaign takes place in/around the Mirkwood, but our
story is a shorter official campaign that takes place around Bree/the
Shire. The campaign is relatively short. I anticipate a 2-4 month
duration, but if players wish (and it would be my preference), we can certainly continue into other
campaigns after that, pretty much indefinitely -- in particular, this
adventure could continue into Arnor, Rohan or Erabor. At the moment,
all I would be asking for is that 2-4 month commitment. Don't worry
if you have no experience in The One Ring, if we mainly get new
players, we'll introduce game elements gradually. An interest in
Tolkien's lore would be advantageous, but extensive knowledge is not
necessary. The One Ring focuses on characters balancing their own
ambitions for adventuring with the constant lure of the growing
shadow. There isn't "alignment" like in D&D... players
are either following a good and right path as accepted by all the
free peoples, or they will lose their own agency, fall into madness
and became a thrall of the forces of shadow. It's largely a theatre of the mind, and doesn't use complex combat strategy on battle maps.
