Question about the a Moria supplement, I'm hoping for some input from the writers (etc): Additionally, a 1-handed weapon made of Mithril can be used to make Brawling attacks. ( p184, Moria: Through the Doors of Durin (Alpha)) This has been interpreted as meaning that you can use them to make Brawlin...

”P 95: Surprised enemies no longer cannot take actions in the first Close Quarters Round. Instead, they now lose (1d) on all combat rolls in the first Close Quarters Round.” What is the reason behind the change? Was the original rule unbalanced? Please explain why this rule was changed. Nothing off...

p. 175, The Watcher in the Water profile: As currently written, the Many Arms Fell Ability means that the Watcher can't attack at all after suffering two Wounds. Just checking that this is deliberate… I interpreted it differently. It says "The Watcher in the Water makes one additional attack e...

BTW, how do you use Shadow Points? Is there any recommendation on how much shadow players could be exposed to per adventure? Like 3-5 shadow points? It should vary based on the themes of the adventure. Frolicking in the Shire should incur basically no Shadow, while going to Mordor should be drenche...

You may use any Fell Ability as often as you like, so long as you meet any prerequisites. Hideous Toughness is triggered every single time the prerequisites are met - potentially even 6 or more times in a round. The only restriction beyond that is that an adversary can only spend Hate equal to its M...

The only other thing I find a bit different or unusual is how treasure points? works instead of typical silver or gold currency. But I guess it just takes some time to get used to, or do you house rule currency and costs on items? :) It is different to, say, D&D. However, despite the fact that ...

On page 82 in section 1, it repeats the instruction to check the box to see about the current condition of the gates. The first prompt should probably be deleted. I'd also reconsider referencing it as a "box" which is awkward in English, perhaps call it a sidebar or something.

Welcome to the game! I'm glad you like it, I'm really enjoying it! I read in the rules that you could start from 20 or 18 (one shot adventures) to calculate your TN. What would you recommend? Is 20 too hard or will 18 be too easy in the long run for the characters? Yes. ;) For one-shots and short te...

On page 150, there's a sidebar. Throughout, it calls the subject of discussion "slag-worms", except on one place where it calls them "slag-forms". It's possible that it's a typo or it could be intentional. It kinda of fits, but it's also the one place I'd have expected it to be &...

Page 61 about the lore for the Balrog that may need rewording a bit: Sauron certainly sensed the presence of the Balrog after it awoke, and may have learned of it even before that. He almost certainly did not sense the Balrog during the Second Age, otherwise he would have awoken it himself. The Bal...
