I am soon to be writing an article (to be called 'Collective Wisdom')that will hopefully address some of the common cocerns newbies to the game, either experienced or not, should know about or pieces of advice they should consider when running or playing in a game using Decipher's CODA LOTR RPG. Depending upon the response, the article may span more than one issue.

I have come up with a number of things already based on Q&A from here and through the Postmaster section of The Hall of Fire, but I am looking to solicit the forum's assistance in compiling your wisdom as well.

Please keep in mind, the intent of this thread (and subsequently the article) is to look at big issues concerning playing the game, concepts, and such, not to nitpick individual items such as a specific ability, maneuver, etc. nor debate someone's ideas either (please take it to another thread), just list them. This includes where you have found issues with the game mechanics (inadequacies, lack of info or options, etc.), problems that has arisen while gaming referring the setting, etc. and how you dealt with the problem.

What you submit may or may not be included in the article, but all who contribute will be given credit for their participation.


Anything you wish to add to this effort is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
