How to Talk to People in Middle Earth – The One Ring 2e Rules Review

IRL, when I need a Favor from Someone, I mentally assign a Difficulty Class to that Request and then look within my Soul to see what Skills I have that would help me get what I want—and it’s no different in The One Ring 2e. We go through the Council and Fellowship Phase rules, which are the last systems in TOR 2e we have yet to cover. And then we give a quick review of all the systems.

TL;DR: it’s okay but is mainly a rehashing of stuff you can find in earlier mainstream and indie games.
