I like to think that the people of Esgaroth and Dale have Easterling blood in them, and that most gondorians carry a good amount of haradrim heritage, and so on. Talking about cultures and not races is a great step in normality in TOR amongs most RPGs. I think that might be even more true of the pe...

I'm sorry if I made you think you caused offense. I was not offended, just a bit disappointed. I apologize for my part in suggesting that you were being intentionally deceptive. Bygones? I did not assert that any of the High Elves migrated from Lindon to Rivendell, though some might have done so. Mo...

An often forgotten point, because the Elves of Lindon are rarely mentioned, is that most of the High Elves that still dwell in Middle-earth do so in the Grey Havens, not Rivendell. There are still elder Noldor in Rivendell to be sure (namely Gildor's "kinsfolk" of the House of Finrod), bu...

So, are the Sindar supposed to be the most numerous of the various groups of Elves still in Eriador? I think so, even if Tolkien barely mentions them. But I think that the comment made by Frodo that I quoted is particularly revealing. Francesco I would say that both you and Jacob are correct. The m...

Also, a small correction: Gondolin*, not Gondor. Given the fact you're aware of this character at all, I'm sure you already knew that and it was just a simple mistype, but I wanted to clarify in case others reading this are unfamiliar and want to look up what we're talking about! Thank you for catc...

On a side note that has nothing to do with cultural weaponry, this wording is very interesting from a lore perspective (assuming 2e still takes place in the late Third Age, which is probably a safe bet). Grey Elves/Sindar were only the Elves of Doriath in the First Age and the few who lived into la...

I'm also looking forward to version 2.0 of the core book. I also hope that they can reproduce or reprint books that are already produced - whether or not they're updated. There seems to be no plan to reprint the existing supplements, so you might want to concentrate your search on the secondary mar...

I'd love to see west of Eriador with the Mithlonds and Nan-i-Naugrim. Probably that in this region, the adventures would be different as there is no dark enemy which is close. In the south : - Gondor (with Minas Tirith / Anorien) + Mordor - Gondor (with south Gondor) + Umbar/Harad Okay, the Halls o...

I was on the old C7 forums. I transferred at least some of my home-brew stuff over to the TOR forums at RPGGeek. I can't help you with Garn though.

Sounds like we're not getting staves, slings, or hammers. :-/

Staves, at least, probably should be in the game; short staves are typically carried by the Bounders who protect the borders of the Shire. I would imagine that some Hobbits (and maybe Men of Bree) are quite adept with them.
