I am still resisting.  So far, so good.

I'm also not nearly as much of a tolkien fan as y'all are

I'm not a huge Tolkien fan but this is just too good to pass up.

I'm with you and resisting so far but its tough.  Honestly the last thing keeping me from backing it is my copy of The One Ring from Cubicle 7 has been sitting on my shelf since 2011 unplayed....

I knew I was doomed as soon I clicked on the link.  Even more so when I started scrolling down the page to see the stretch goals and add-ons.

They finally added Solo play as a stretch goal!

STRETCH GOAL 30: SOLO MODE – LOCKED
If we reach this goal, acclaimed solo roleplaying game designers Shawn Tomkin (Ironsworn) and Matt Click (The Mecha Hack) will collaborate with The One Ring designer Francesco Nepitello in creating a robust framework to allow solo play. This will be released to backers as a PDF some time after the main fulfilment of the campaign.

Strider (solo) mode has been unlocked! 


All stretch goals have been met.  And with 19 hours still to go, it looks like the campaign will pass $1.8 million USD before it's done.  8)

They ended up with a little over 2 million.  I stand corrected.  :D

An unboxing of the cloth map for the Shire.  Looks damn good.
