Welcome to Middle Earth! I think the biggest concepts to import into your 1e rules are the "Journey" rules and the "Shadow" rules. The "Fellowship" rules are also good. Another switch is that AiME is a low-magic setting, which can take some adjustment for players used to buying magic gear at the corner Ye Olde Magik Shoppe...
Hey Easy, thanks for stopping by. In my campaigns, I have NEVER had a magic shop in it. To be honest I prefer low magic settings. Actually Middle-Earth is not all that low of magic campaign, it has ancient magic in it from thousands of years ago. I love these magical items being more rare to find but when you do find them I love how they are more customized items.
Also now that the overall campaign blog is up, I plan to removed, adjust and add a lot of stuff. I go back and look at things I've done so far and am not liking them 100%. I agree with you, maybe I don't trying to bring in EVERYTHING from AiMe just enough to compliment what 1st edition has.
I am 100% LOVING what you have done here. I think you trying to keep your 1st edition intact and merging the AiMe system into 1st edition sounds really exciting. I agree with Easyfight. I think maybe do not try to merge ALL of AiMe's rules with your classic rules, just pick the primary ones that will give your campaign that "Middle-earth" feel a little bit more.
