    First, thanks for the review, it's much appreciated! Second, you REALLY need to go and dive a little further into Mr. Lovecraft before you start belittling him to no end. He renounced his racism in the later years of his life thanks to his friends and colleagues, but most people just tend to forget to mention that little fact and play morality pariahs...irks me to no end.

    It says remove all cards of one color for three player. The other player counts use all cards. I will check that point in the video and put up an rules goof in the description

    Ok…so I have heard repeatedly that you’ll need to know the 5e rules in order to play this campaign/setting. What specific rules is that? Outside of the action economy and combat…what other 5e base rules are needed if you play this using only the setting of LOTR?

  • @Peter-su8fd
    @Peter-su8fd6 күн бұрын

    Action economy and combat is really all you should need from 5e for this game. Because it is 5e they also use the D20 instead of a bunch of D6s, the usual due for Free Leagues games. Honestly, if you are running the 5e version of this game/setting all you should need is the freely available basic rules for 5e.

  • @TabletopGamingGuild

    My daughters play it pretty frequently but I did get bored of it. It does not take long before they want to buy more cards and make more custom decks. But for the money if you want to try out Pokemon ccg it is worth it.

  • @michaelhill6453
    @michaelhill645317 күн бұрын

    A terrible missed opportunity. The full game is mostly a cut-and-paste from their game Modern AGE. What's left makes little sense, the new-ish material often contradicts the source (Modern AGE). If you are a huge fan of the setting. Read the books and adapt to the sci-fi game of your choice. The Expanse AGE game is fundamentally broken. Note, the game is set on the books and not on the TV show. I wrote a lengthy 2-star review (under Michael) on Drivethru RPG if you'd like to read more. One thing that particularly amused me was financial transactions...characters pooling resources to make a large purchase become richer after the funds are divided and returned. The mechanic as written allows the characters to become infinitely wealthy. Just one of the many unplaytested rules.

    Another reviewer mentioned that because there are only 7 floor cards (files and passwords), they couldn't make complete sets of the NET Architectures they anticipated in the adventure. Do you agree with this criticism? Would buying multiple decks solve this problem, and if so, how many decks total?
