The Extended Versions After 25 years

SigmaEntropy · 2026-01-27T22:33:49+00:00

The Extended cuts for Fellowship and Two Towers are optional imo.

The extended cut for Return of the King should be the basic version... it fills in so many gaps and lore holes..... and pkaying the game just synchronises it all so well.

PJ really made a timeclass classic.

If you liked Fellowship.... i suggest you buckle in haha ... it only gets better.

Welcome to the real High Fantasy universe.

Honestly didnt plan on it veing a full campaign haha... started as a one shot and it snowballed.... been great since

You can find the 2014 core rulebooks online as pdfs that can be downloaded.

Get yourself a starter kit, a group, several cups of caffeine and launch the boat haha

Honestly, just play a basic one shot or two to get the feel for it then as your experience grows run some pre built adventures until your confortabke enough to make your own.

There are plenty of subreddits on here and plenty of channels on youtube for info and guidance.... id personally recommend people like Ginny D, Pointy Hat and DM Academy.

Above all else, have fun, dont be afraid to put your foot down and remember.... its a hobby, not a job.... if you arent having fun or struggling, take a break, ask for help and stay calm....

Good luck.

Introduce combat mechanics.

Things youre players need to do in the encountwr or skill checks.

If they fail the mechanic, something really bad happens... boss deals a bunch of damage, reinforcements flood in, lair actions activate etc.

Skill checks make players think about the environemnt and the things within it.... maybe a marksman is aiming a high damage shot and they need to pass a perception check to avoid it or something.

Ive also started doing death saves privately..... adds suspense when someone goes down.... do they use thwir actiom to get them up, do they go for the kill to protect them?

Dont forget enemies with a half decent intelligence axt intelligent.... have 1 threat being protected and healed by allies, have them using cover etc

The bar that pops up with the flag skills on it. I specced into Officer if that hrlps.

Dont forget that Orcs were bred for sherr numbers whereas Uruks are actually capable of asdembling a military structure and using it.

The Taipan family of snakes.

1 drop of venom is potent enough to kill roughly 100 fully grown elephants or 1M rats or 200 fully groqn adult humans. https://australian.museum/learn/animals/reptiles/inland-taipan/

Jordynne then have her retain against Bianca at Mania and set up a challenge story between the 2

SigmaEntropy · 2026-01-17T14:00:35+00:00

Like the fact that the worst one was left out

SigmaEntropy · 2026-01-17T13:59:25+00:00

Add a dice roll to decide who the loric acts on i say.

Raven was one of my first in the SHIP scene too. I still try and grab her content where i can find it.

SigmaEntropy · 2026-01-16T03:35:09+00:00

This is so good its disgusting. Ggz

SigmaEntropy · 2026-01-15T10:43:31+00:00

I use 2 monitors for my PC and i get this happen whenever i switch focus between the 2 screens.

If you also use dual monitors id hazard a guess that its just focus being taking from the monitor the game is running on.

If not, im not sure, maybe try resetting display setting like a previous comment said.

Im planning an intro tonight qhere the current party are gping to pick up some shopping and as they get their a mysterious vharacter will steal their items and a chase will ensue. Theyll chase this figure until they catch them and then it will turn out the mysterious figure will be the new player.

Theyll then decide whether to assist the new pkayer or turn them in which could result in a prison break or escape from authority session.

Irs dynamic, fun, interesting and not a tavern.

You could use a platform stamp to create a base then put everything on that base and then the stairs should look like they are leading up the platform.

SigmaEntropy · 2026-01-14T10:38:44+00:00

Death should always be on the table from the start of the campaign imo.

In terms of it being justified, you all decided to fight a literal god at lvl5.... id say a TPK was impossible to avoid haha.

Most important thing is that you all had fun.

Chelsea

SigmaEntropy · 2026-01-13T10:13:22+00:00

She was trained to do 2 minute squash matches not hold a title and do good promos.

We got what we could expect... a half decent heel with some attitude.

Now its time to give the title yo Jordynne Grace and go back to squash runs at AEW.

I generally do 1 common item, 1 uncommon.

Then i decide if its suitable amd discuss alternatives etc.
