Looks interesting. I'm a big Tolkien fan, but 5E isn't my thing. I do have most the TOR pdfs, but never bought any hardcovers.
Have you tried The One Ring RPG? It’s quite good and really captures the “feel” of Middle-earth.

Re: TLG 8126 Codex of Aihrde (Preorder)

So if we're satisfied with the $40 we originally gave during the 2012 pre-order, do we need to do anything at all in Kickstarter, or do you have a record of those pre-orders and we can just expect shipment when everything is done?

No response here or to my email. I wish I could say I was surprised, but it's this level of customer service that has moved me away from Troll Lord Games over the years... Sad, I know, but there's only so much we can put up with. No matter how great the game, loyalty is a two-way street and I've oft...

Re: TLG 8126 Codex of Aihrde (Preorder)

So, I unexpectedly remembered ordering the Codex of Aihrde this morning and wondered whatever became of it. Since I haven't been on the forums in quite a while, I first checked through my old email and, sure enough, found my receipt email indicating my pre-order: On MAY 19, 2012! Over 2 years and 3 ...

You've been fortunate, Tree. I haven't been as lucky. And, again, I have to emphasize that this isn't a shot purely at the Trolls - the whole pre-order/crowdsourcing thing has become the industry standard, it seems - where "industry" is in reference to "small RPG publishers." I d...

Glad to hear you're enjoying the Mac so far. My dad switched to Mac a few years ago after a lifetime of Windows use and never looked back. His opinion now is that he can't imagine ever owning a Winows PC again. I have used Macs exclusively for my personal computer.

Those are some good suggestions, Dracyian.

I think what we're seeing are creative-types (fellow gamers, authors, etc.) who produce lovely c...

Kickstarters and Preorders, The Bane of Present-Day Gamers

Time to share feelings about the Kickstarter / Pre-Order world we gamers have come to find ourselves in. Used to be that a game producer made a game and then made it available for sale. Those who didn't have big budgets for print runs would make them available via POD, like Lulu. In the past couple ...
