EP. 1: A Troll-hole, If Ever... (TOR 2e, Solo Actual Play, Tales from the Lone-lands)

This is Episode 1 of an actual play of the Tales from the Lone-lands from The One Ring Roleplaying Game. It is a solo play, but using a full party of four heroes rather than the Strider Mode (though I do use the Telling Table and Lore Tables as solo aids).

This is an extremely long episode, but it covers almost every central mechanic, so feel free to jump around with these chapter headings to make sure you see the parts that may be most helpful or most interesting to you:
