Ever since I learned that Free League was picking up TOR 2e, I've been looking at all of their other games to get an idea of what to expect in terms of product options. I notice that many of their RPGs have starter sets, as well as decks of cards, maps, etc. Do we expect TOR 2e to have these as well? I'd love to have some cards for enemies, or reference cards for combat/encounters/journeys to hand out to players.

If you check out the post about the first issue of The One Ring RPG Official Newsletter, you'll see that Francesco announces that the first releases will be the Core Rules and a Starter Set. No details have yet been announced. Alvaro Tapia is providing art for the new edition.

Nice! I hope that the starter set is similar to what I've seen with the Alien RPG starter set, with the types of accessories I mentioned in my original post.

Since we're talking about this, I have a question. Would you prefer to see:

1) A new, re-designed set of TOR dice (same use, different 'graphics')?

OR

2) The same set of TOR dice, but in different colours

OR

3) The very same, bone-coloured TOR dice, as in first edition?

Since I have the bone set, plus a few sets of red/blue, I would love to see option number 1, just to have another unique set of dice for this game.

That's a very hard question!!

The bone-coloured from the first edition are, if I'm being objective, the best version of the dice there is: they are beautiful in their icons and numbers, thematic in their simplicity (look like old bone dice) and the easiest to read by far from all there have been. I think that, whatever other versions of the dice are done at some point (Q-Workshop, new colours,...) these should always be available.

Then, from a personal perspective, I think that new colours of the same dice would be my choice: they would merge well with the already existing dice sets, and would make for a coherent -yet diverse- collection at the gaming table. The rohir could have the green field/white numbers set, the beorning the brown skin/honey numbers one, a man of minas tirith should choose a black banner/silver numbers set, etc. And they should look like the same set of dice just tailored to everyone, not like dice collected from different games.

I realize now that I was confused as to which dice are the "bone" dice. I thought you were referring to the Q-workshop dice. I have a set of those plus 2x each of red/blue. I agree that the original plain, bone dice should be widely available (also so I can finally get a set), but a separate, newly design set of "fancy" dice would be a nice collector's item as well. Truth be told, if you put out any set of TOR dice that I don't have, I'll likely get them.

I have the Bone Dice, Q Workshop Dice, and the Red Dice, would love another set of the blue dice to be released as well as more different unique designs. More dice, I'm a dice goblin and I need my shiney click clack rocks.

I'll be up front about the fact that I'd buy almost any new dice as well. Having different designs and colours helps with mass rolling. Plus they all look great. My players really like having the blue and red ones (probably because they think the bone coloured ones are "cursed"). Keeping the bone coloured ones but giving them some kind of twist to mark the new edition would be great.

Asrath · Sun 12 Jul 2020, 22:12

I also have several dice sets: bone, red, blue and deluxe. The best are bone ones: in all light settings they are the best to read.
I would therefore definitely vote for those.
