One of my favorite things to do with an Adventure Site is put a fun character whose in trouble in there for the players to stumble upon. It immediately adds a lot of ripples to any session!

Every year, I reread the LotR trilogy. This last year's reread amped me up and I started keying Middle-earth 12 miles at a time Concurrently, without meaning to, I wrote a game to run the hexcrawl I call it Lore - a Lord of the Rings Adventure Game retroclone Here's what I think is fun about it🧵
