Saving Throes # 84 - Spotlight: Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Games
Manage episode 455069528 series 3474518
Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
Every December I get nostalgic for the Lord of the Rings films from the early 2000s. They were great adaptations of the books, and also served to really elevate the fantasy genre into the mainstream eye (for both good and ill). Lord of the Rings has always been a natural fit for the roleplaying game hobby. It hasn't had too many games made of it, but the ones that have been published vary greatly between all 3 of them. This week I do an overview of all the Lord of the Rings games that have been released, and my impressions of them. I have not played all of them, but have had fair experience with most. Tune in to hear how different these games are from one another, and why the current iteration of the game is the best it has ever been.
