[Garrett Henke · Rating 3 out of 5]

The use and quality of this book depends entirely upon how in-depth a group wants to invest in The One Ring line of books. If you’re just using the main book and maybe an adventure, this is easily a 5 Star Book. However, if your group is using all the books, it falls to 3/5 because it repeats a ton of info.

[Patrick · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of material repeated from supplements, but this volume gathers all of the rules relevant to players (and not found in the core book), including character creation info, new rules (some optional), further explanations of the Journey, Adventuring, and Fellowship phases, and combat. Solid addition to the line. Cf. to a Player's Handbook in other product series.

Well thought-out expansion to the One Ring system - indeed, the best ideas from here ended up folded into the core in 2nd edition. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordp...
