Do people prefer maps with empty hexes between points of interest, or tight packed maps with stuff to do in every hex? Why?

Merry didn’t know. He rode with Dernhelm from Dunharrow to the Pelennor Fields and didn’t figure out it was Eowyn until she removed her helmet.

If he gets a pass for that, then I get a pass for all of the times someone was hitting on me and I didn’t realize it at the time, right?

Angry harem guards attack the party who seem to have offended the sheikh. This is on the interior of the module, page 1, and the style is very much that of Jim Holloway, even though the module lists Keith Parkinson as the interior art artist.

What did you get in the mail this week?

Released in 1998, I see D&D in the roots of this system, and some of the future of D&D as well. Never played it though. Thoughts? #mailcall #ttrpg #alternity
