Possible LotR Successor Game discussion thread

[Zim]

My impression was that most of the players were against switching back to the KotR rules set, at least going by posts here after it was brought up.

Is it just the House structure which you think would make for a better game?

I thought the way new Houses were set up midgame in LotR had great potential to be interesting. Sadly, we all decided to get along. Forcing people into certain Houses based on where they get adopted/born to wouldn't necessarily fix that problem if it were to repeat.

If we do bring back the older rules we'd need to think about what we'd do with rgbs. Would adoptions be banned unless they were to join the House of their potential adopter? Would someone marrying one of the King's daughter's get the chance to start a new House?

Perhaps we could do a poll to see which rule set people prefer.

Edit: I walked into a few Diets without really knowing what was happening, partly because I was new and many of the character dynamics escaped me. In fact, given what the Illuminati were doing behind the scenes the whole game, I can safely say I had no idea at all what was really going on.
