In which I cover the best version of the classic "dungeon crawl" - the Mines of Moria! This edition of Moria for The One Ring is soooo beautiful! I highly recommend you all buy it!
Here's where you can late pledge:

The art you like so much is by Alvaro Tapia, who did the cover art for the Swedish editions of the Harry Potter books. Those covers are by many regarded as better than the original art.

It's hard to keep track of all the RPG kickstarters and then vet them for quality; would love more content like this that let's me know about good kickstarters in time to still back them.

I think one of the problems with this for RPGs (as opposed to board games, for example) is that there usually isn't a very large window to late pledge once backers start getting partially or mostly completed PDFs of the game.

@@RedMageGM Honestly, the only real issue I've had with any Free League produced book was their Aliens Rpg books. The quality, look and feel were awesome. The problem for me was due to how they made the pages black and slightly glossy, they were really hard to read. The Blade Runner Rpgs are toned down in that style and more readable as an aside. Regardless, beautifully crafted books.

another beautiful and useful book from Free League. I will buy it on release. It a must buy and it will complete my collection of The One Ring books. The solo play rules can be used for DMing, not only for the tables but also the oracles can inspire things that can get fuel and challenge your imagination that you did not expect. There are 'wow' moments if you try a few times. I started with the Strider Mode for The One Ring and Moria solo play seems to bases on that and expanded. I would also recommend another book Solo OSR that introduce plot twist and helping make scene interesting. Solo play helps me to improvise situations and enrich my story. For example if your goblins start to patrol after the PC, you could send them and use the oracle for an outcome that you didn't think. If you get a result that is ill-fortune or good fortune, your patrol that you think was just patrolling may all take an nap (good fortune) or there is 2 patrol or an wild dogs that has joined them because of the ill-fortune roll. I love how creative my session have been with the use of those tools. Highly recommanded to try, it's a world to explore and I use it learn new systems.

Thanks for the review! I don’t play One Ring or 5e. Do you think the info in the book (tables, monster descriptions) are generic enough to port into other systems?? Thanks!!
@RedMageGM
@RedMageGM 4 месяца назад
The monster stats are certainly pretty specific. It's a hard system to convert (The One Ring) I'd say. The tables are good, as are the descriptions! But you should check around to see some samples of the stat blocks before you buy.
@DGB_Smyth
@DGB_Smyth 4 месяца назад
Thanks so much for the response and the insight. Ya I figured I’d have to change the stats for the monsters (which isn’t a major issues as I play more rules lighter systems like EZD6 and Crown and Skull) What I was looking for is an evocative dungeon with flavour and lore and rich with content to use. So I’m sure they’re lots of descriptions in this book, and I love the aesthetic, but are there even more TOR rules wrapped up in it besides just the monsters?
@RedMageGM
@RedMageGM 4 месяца назад
Oh I see. There would be some conversion throughout, yes. But I think the flavor, lore, and content is also quite good! It is absolutely evocative and full of good ideas.
@strawb3rryk3tchup
@strawb3rryk3tchup 2 месяца назад
The actual printed stats are very specific for The One Ring Doors of Durin system. But The One Ring Shadow of Khazad Dum is very similar descriptive information but set in the style of Dungeons and Dragons with compatible stats and DnD mechanisms. Free League and the authors have deliberately done this parallel development. So the DnD 5e version should be very easily portable: stats and all; the TOR version not so. And, to be clear, Shadow of K.D. is the DnD version, Doors of Durin is the less compatible twin version.

Aesthetics aside, how does it hold up against ICE’s Moria?
@RedMageGM
@RedMageGM 5 месяцев назад
I would say that ICE's Moria is muuuch more interested in being an encyclopedic "here's what Moria is". This is much more aware that it is a game, with adventure and play at the forefront. I think ICE has a whole section on like the ecology and plants that grow in Moria, whereas this is like "here are rumors, treasures, and bad guys." Although, I do think they would work really well together - the ICE could be like a knowledge foundation, on which this would play.
@aforest2802
@aforest2802 5 месяцев назад
ICE's Moria, indeed, tends to be encyclopedic, designed as a campaign setting as much as a playable mega-dungeon. This version, while a campaign setting too, appears to cleave more so to dungeon exploration and its inhabitants. While I love the former, a direct interplay between the mechanics of The One Ring and the dungeon is very compelling. Thanks very much for your response and review

What sort of adventures does this encourage? Is it set up for a mega dungeon style experience where you go in a bit and explore / more player driven?
@RedMageGM
@RedMageGM 5 месяцев назад
If you're familiar with the One Ring style of games, I'd say this fits right in with the rest of the system. Shorter 3-5 session excursions with a heavy narrative emphasis, rather than random exploration.
@InhabitantOfOddworld
@InhabitantOfOddworld 2 месяца назад
​@@RedMageGM The final ruleset does allow for random exploration, with rules on generating rooms/chambers at random. It could foreseeably be used as a solo dungeon crawler quite easily IMO.
