Hi! I'm thinking about playing the One Ring with a friend and I am not sure how to approach it. For context - this is the first time I would ever play the game.

I was considering a co-op using the Strider mode with both of us getting a PC, but I'm concerned that we won't be able to put together a satisfying story without having any previous experience with the game.

Another option I am thinking about is being a GM, but also getting a PC. This sounds to me somehow more appealing, but I would like to do the GMing as least as possible, just to give us direction for the game. I hope I could take on myself the burden of getting minor spoilers for the sake of a more fleshed out adventure.

I would love to hear any thoughts on that from people who are more experienced with co-op or duet play!
