I'm not a big fan of the setting change; Eriador is much less interesting than Rhovanion just because it's such well-trodden ground.

The mechanical changes do seem pretty solid, though, agreed.

Anyone have a chance to actually play 2e yet? I'm curious whether the stuff GimpInBlack posted bears out or not.

GimpInBlack posted:

My personal feeling (and admittedly this is just from reading and crunching some numbers, so maybe there's another dimension in play that I'm missing) is that, while overall I like the vast majority of the rules changes, the changes to how TN is calculated and the effects of spending Hope represent a significant downgrade in player heroes' odds of success.

The paper quality on the core book is odd - I'm used to glossy paper for high-production-value hardbacks, but Fria Ligan decided to go with what feels like completely uncoated paper?

It made the book feel oddly fragile when I started leafing through it, but the grammage is solid and the papery texture actually does contribute to the rulebook feeling like you're perusing a tome and not reading a textbook.
