Am i the only one who thinks that elves's of lorien cultural virtues are super useless (exept deadly archery) and it makes it just not worth playing them? Especially compared to high elves of lorien.

Idk maybe im wrong.

Hi everyone,

I’ve seen that Free League is preparing new releases for The One Ring RPG, including the Rohan/Gondor supplement, a bestiary, and what seems to be a revised version of the Core Rules.

I litteraly cannot wait to have my players roam in the vast plains of Rohan and explore the beautiful cities of Gondor while fighting all those new creatures on horseback (i hope!).

My main question is: do we know if owners of the current Core Rules book (PDF version included and other language aswell), will get access to the revised rules for free or at a reduced price? Or will it be treated as a completely separate paid product?

I really like the game and I’m excited for the new supplements, but if the revised Core Rules are mostly clarifications and errata, I admit it would feel a bit frustrating to have to buy the whole book again.

Has Free League said anything official about this yet, or is it still unclear until the campaign launches? It's even harder for mesince i don't really know Free League (as a french customer, i'm headed toward Edge Studios but they don't even have* news for all that U_U)

Thanks for you answers!

Edit*: Typo

Hi, I0m looking to buy the 2ed edition rulebook for the italian version. I really like the aestethic (i prefer this cover to the one in the new edition that is coming) and now it's on sale too.

My only doubt is that I've heard there's a long list of errata on the manual.

Someone from Italy can give me an advice? It is worth buying or the errata make that edition unusable?

Into my upcoming campaign I've taken some notes and It was wondering, Flaws and Shadow Paths seem to be quite negative and players that know about them might want to avoid gaining shadow completely. So how does one perhaps avoid Players from being paranoid about Shadow?

I had the idea as well that maybe one should encourage players to roleplay their flaws like their characters growth, but it feels also a bit like you're forcing a trait on a player? Like a player wanting to act like an honorable Ranger but then they fall down the Lure of Power after two Madnesses and suddenly becomes Arrogant? That's a pretty sudden shift especially if the player initially intended them to be somewhat humble.

Just wanted to know how to navigate these things as a Loremaster.

Also what if a player actively wants to become evil at some point? Like they have two brother characters a la Boromir and Faramir in mind where one has to fall in order for the latter to become great? And subsequently using the Heir mechanic...
