Reply: The One Ring (2nd Edition):: News:: Re: Two new supplements and a revised core book…
Posted: Fri, 04 Sep 21:00:13
I am only really enthusiastic for the White Tower / Hall of Gold book.
I got the original red CE Core rules AND a standard Core book copy at the kickstarter. When the rule about extended tasks was radically altered/corrected I considered getting another, but I am glad I resisted. But now, this 'final' version has only a little attraction for me. As for being a CE edition, the white cover has no appeal.
I am also not that enthusiastic about the CE version of WT&HG. So much so that I am only considering getting a standard copy, but I am undecided at the moment.
The Bestiary book hardly seems necessary and I certainly don't want a CE version of it at all.
There is a strong part of me that would like to sell my Red CE, sell my Moria CE (replacing it with a standard one) and not get any of the new ones. I would also sell my Starter Set 1 and then buy a copy of Hobbit Tales.
The content is fine, but it doesnt feel so special that any of the new CE versions will be value for money.
In the future I expect that I would want any eventual Gondor/Rohan adventure book: the writing is still good. But after that?

Posted: Fri, 04 Sep 20:24:19
1. As far as I can see, it looks like when you buy Unbound (say, Tales of the Lost Realm Unbound) you get a copy of the digital text of that book with some extra tools that streamline searching for a particular phrase or keyword.
2. These tools are interchangeable for all texts, and would also permit a multiple search across several texts at once e.g. all references to "Isengard", or "Perilous Areas" in several books.
3. And is there somewhere you can share results with other users of Unbound, to make an 'official' online gaming area; or is that going to be outside of the licence conditions as previously reported.
4. Right now, getting Unbound means that new owners get to influence the final version of the product. So you are part of the feedback/design team?
I dont do DnD (my last game was New Years Eve 1981, with a lot of alcohol and football added in) so I am totally ignorant of the parallel development in DnD. (DnD Beyond is it?)
Q. In essence what might I get by buying Unbound?
Q. Do I assume that the complimentary pdf files will remain for the future, or is Unbound likely to replace them over time?

I am going to have to expose my completely limited Internet and gaming skills here by asking very simplistic questions. As I dont really know what Unbound offers compared to, say, the complimentary pdf files of the texts.1.
