[The One Ring 2e] - What are people's experiences with this system? (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone, the story of the current campaign (Homebrew DnD5e) I'm running is wrapping up and I'm planning to run the One Ring 2e for a bit before starting another long campaign. Players and I are excited for something a bit different and I've read through the rulebook/starter set a few times now.

Has anyone here had experience with the system and is there any system specific advice you have for it?

Thank you for your time reading 🙂

I've only played some of the starter set as a player, so I can't provide a ton of insight there. I think the biggest thing is making sure the players are bought into the core concept of the game and the system. It is not 5e, doesn't play like 5e. Combat is far more abstract, and for some that becomes a barrier.

Hopefully other GMs will chime in with advice on running it, but making sure it's a good fit for the group is where I go to first.
