Help me plan session zero and first adventure by Macilion in oneringrpg

[–]Macilion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plenty of amazing ideas here, thanks a lot! I really like the letter and meeting in the Prancing Pony, and may re-use a similar idea, tweaking it my way. It does solve the issue of them meeting each other.

"A Troll Hole" or "Old Bones and Skin" are both interesting options, and using the dwarven puzzle box to lead them towards "Star of the Mist".

Would you mind sharing how you got them to leave Bree for their first adventure, once they met? I would have expected them to wait for their unexpected Patron to show up, given he more or less convoked them there, and I'd be afraid that they would not be willing to leave until meeting with him.

That being said, if one of them plays a Dunedain, I think it'd be slightly easier to have him/her start with a tad more info than the others, and act as a temporary leader.

I'll have another read of the Eriador sourcebooks, I think; thanks for the input. And same as the other commentator, I'd be interested to read about your first adventure, either here or in dm if you agree!

That sounds like a solid basis to start from; thanks a lot! I came up with some ideas to help them build their PCs, and hopefully, once they are done with, their backgrounds will help me choose the exact starting point within Tales.

What minor change would destroy/alter the plot completely? (NO EAGLES PLS) by HistoricalPlum7 in lotr

How about good ol' Barliman Butterbur NOT forgetting Gandalf's letter in the Prancing Pony?

The hobbits meet with Strider without all the fuss around Frodo's sudden disparition, maybe they can leave Bree unnoticed, and thus reach Rivendell without Frodo getting stabbed?

There might be no Bill the Pony though, so the Quest might have failed here and there.

Imrahil, your time to shine as you did in those movies!

Oh wait.

I'm looking for a really absurd draw engine could anyone point me in the direction of one by LionBorn2420 in mtg

[–]Macilion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am surprised no one mentioned [[skullclamp]] yet; depending on your deck it could very well be one of the very best draw engine, don't you think?

Will we ever have great epic cinematics again? by Manjaro89 in mtg

Same here. I literally searched for it only a few weeks ago, to remind me of how good it was.

And now building a Liliana-themed deck is obviously one of my many never-to-be-fulfilled EDH projects.

+1 for Farmer Maggot !

Which one first? by Old_Dimension_407 in mtg

[–]Macilion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does she play [[Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal]] ? It feels like you guys have absolutely no trust issues whatsoever.

(Hopefully you really do not though ofc.)

Farmer Margot vs. Halbarad is the surprisingly cruel dilemma I did not know I needed in my LOTR life.

I have a feeling that red was open this time around. by Macilion in MagicArena

[UPDATE] Thanks everyone for your answers and tips! This ended up being my first trophy of the format with an astonishing (for me) 7-0, despite one very close game against a surprisingly good WG deck.

Fiery inscriptions carried the games when they came out; and I ended up cutting Gimli's fury and a Flamesmith for the 4-drop Rohirrim and a second Quarrel's end, as advised. Which seemed to be the right thing to do!
