Ep 22 Death in the Land of Milk and Honey: Tales from the Wilderland

When you stay in a magical hairy man's house, there are probably going to be some crazy magical things that happen.  For better or worse.  Beorn hosts the geeky fellowship as they get curious about how he will react to the morbid news of his right-hand man and shield bearer.  And there's an old phrase Bilbo's father used to say probably "Curiosity kills the cat." Actually, it doesn't, the cat just creates chaos everywhere its curiosity takes it.  What will the group decide to do to keep up the investigation and help (or hinder) the Beornings plans? Join The Party Business Podcast as we continue this One Ring RPG 2nd Edition actual play. We go over some info in the intro on the rules we are getting wrong from the 2nd edition of the One Ring RPG, but we keep growing and getting better every session. (Hopefully.)  Also, be sure to visit our site to geek out over 2nd edition One Ring RPG rules and Lord of the Rings lore at https://www.partybusinesspodcast.com/ Email: [email protected] Instagram: partybusinesspodcast Twitter: @partybizpodcast Theme Song by Joseph Frank: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGzcvML1VWLsjnHLiq0JzeA

Not all is well in the lands protected by Beorn. Orcs have come very close to his house and have caused death within these once safe boarders.    And Ted decided to venture off on his own to investigate. Let’s hope everything goes well for him. Though Hobbits have been traditionally very lucky in these parts in the past.    The geeky fellowship must decide what the best course of action is and figure out who is responsible for this mess. And if they can capture them…even better.    And Happy Belated Hobbit Day, everyone!    Join The Party Business Podcast as we continue this One Ring RPG 2nd Edition actual play.  Also, be sure to visit our site to geek out over 2nd edition One Ring RPG rules and Lord of the Rings lore at https://www.partybusinesspodcast.com/   Email: [email protected]    Instagram: partybusinesspodcast    Twitter: @partybizpodcast   Theme Song by Joseph Frank: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGzcvML1VWLsjnHLiq0JzeA

Even the safe roads can hide dangers from unwary travelers. Especially if those travelers are led by Rhori.  The group must travel to Beorn's house to convince him to join a folkmoot to plan for the defense of the Wilderlands from the growing shadow. But, as our geeky fellowship makes their journey, they find that the once protected lands around Beorn's house aren't as safe as they once were.  And then they stumble upon a mystery just waiting to swallow them whole.  Join The Party Business Podcast as we continue this One Ring RPG 2nd Edition actual play.  Also, be sure to visit our site to geek out over 2nd edition One Ring RPG rules and Lord of the Rings lore at https://www.partybusinesspodcast.com/ Email: [email protected]   Instagram: partybusinesspodcast   Twitter: @partybizpodcast Theme Song by Joseph Frank: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGzcvML1VWLsjnHLiq0JzeA  

A different kind of episode today. The group takes a break from adventure (mostly because Summer is just busy, y'all) for Chris and Patrick to dive into Lord of the Rings lore.  This is the first episode of its kind, so we decided what better name for it than the Hall of Fire? It's a place to talk story, lore, and geek out over the Lord of the Rings world we love so much.  The La Porte brothers dive into how the rings of power were made in anticipation of the Rings of Power show soon to hit streaming. There's also talk of what makes Lord of the Rings so special, and what makes these two brothers...cry while watching? Really? The adventure will return in the next episode of the Party Business Podcast, but for now, geek out with us!  Also, we still love that new theme song by Joseph Frank, it's so awesome!
