LotR Successor games, Kingdoms or no?

Also, I will try my to break the "Governer" and "General" system - I dislike how it can force people to play in a way they will dislike simply because of where they spawned on the first turn. It has good points, but I don't like the inability to not be able to choose. If we pick it, we need to pick where we start, and have some control over it.

I'll have to test it out when I can.

This is indeed a point of contention, but I think we can come to a consensus that's agreeable. I should have pointed out that you choose career and education paths in Deus lo Vult by where your avatar is placed at the end of his turn. In such cases, I'm sure we'd use the console so that people are always able to make the choices they want. I mean, there's no IC reason an avatar has to come of age in any one place. It's easy to roleplay as the avatar being sent to get the education he needs/wants before reaching 16.

Also, I got my copy of Kingdoms new for $20.
