This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

SO. I just read on the big purple that a guy from Cubicle 7 confirmed that the One Ring RPG would be a boxed set.

Interesting how boxes are making a comeback. :)

I'm curiously opposed to LoTR RPGs. Not because of any artistic snobbery, but because there really isn't much room in the tightly-woven narrative to make changes - And that doesn't make for a good RPG.

What I would argue for instead, is a Tolkien-esque RPG - Put it in a "Middle Earth" with the serial numbers filed off and the narrative loosened a bunch. The same feel, but without the question of "Hewing to plot, or taking a hatchet to it".
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Well, the guy behind it is behind the LotR boardgame.

I have no idea on the sales numbers for Wfrp3, but i cannot believe that a small press company like Cubicle could stand to put out something like that. Can even ffg afford to take a loss on wfrp3? I'd love to know the sales figures for a game like that. I guess the licenses are at least comparable in popularity.
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.
