Re: Acquiring Playtest Rules

I like converting fantasy systems to Star Wars, and I like seeing if sci-fi systems can accommodate fantasy settings. I'd like to see what this new edition can do. I converted the 1st edition rules to run a post-apocalypse zombie game. I think the main thing is whether the theme of hope vs despair ...

Re: Replacing corruption checks

The closest equivalent in 2nd edition might be the Despair journey event (pg. 111 & 114).

Re: What value do you give a Gandalf rune?

As written, the Gandalf rune has no assigned value as it has the auto-success special result. If a numerical value needs to be assigned, 10 is better than the 12 in the OP. In essence, the Gandalf rune being worth 10 + auto-success.

Re: What value do you give a Gandalf rune?

The Gandalf rune counts as 10 numerically Where does it say this in the rules? Pg. 17: Reading the Feat Die: The rune is the highest result you can get on a Feat Die. The highest result you can get on a Feat Die is a 10: Each Feat Die shows numbers ranging from 1 to 10 The next line is the automati...

Re: What value do you give a Gandalf rune?

The Gandalf rune counts as 10 numerically, but is also the automatic success described above. When using standard dice the 11 is an Eye of Sauron result which counts as zero numerically, or automatic failure if miserable.

Re: TNs for starting character

They were fighting 3 Footpads and Ruffian Chief. Not a dangerous combat. In the opening volley the character was hit by an arrow with a 10 which wounded him when he failed the protection roll. This was followed a second Piercing blow. Yes.. really bad luck. The problem was that the party had only 2...

Re: Alpha feedback - Impressions after first game

... if you're rolling while miserable, it can drive you to a bout of madness. Not considered by most in a one-shot, but it only took one sauron while miserable to make my players think twice about it if miserable, and the threat of miserable often prevented my and my daughter's groups from spending...

Re: A question about load and treasure.

I dislike the abstraction of 1 treasure = 1 load. It's difficult to describe the form that the treasure takes. From the 1st edition Laketown supplement, 1 treasure was the equivalent of 1 gold piece = 20 silver pennies = 240 copper coins. While a pouch of 20 silver pennies may well be the equivalent...
