Free League Announces The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying For 5E

Mark

Free League, who have the current publishing rights for Middle Earth roleplaying games, has just announced a D&D 5e edition of Lord of the Rings. When Cubicle 7 owned the rights to The One Ring, they also published Adventures in Middle Earth, so it makes sense that Free League is doing the same. I ran a few sessions of Adventures in Middle Earth, and their travel rules were worth it alone. I’m really looking forward to this one, because it will be easier to get D&D dedicated players into playing in my favorite setting.

Check out the press release below.

The path to Middle-earth will soon open for new adventurers. We are thrilled to reveal that the acclaimed second edition of The One Ring™ roleplaying game is coming soon in a 5E adaptation, entitled The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying.
The new edition of The One Ring™ RPG, set in the world of The Lord of the Rings™ by J.R.R. Tolkien and designed by Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi, became the most successful tabletop roleplaying core game ever on Kickstarter when it ended March 4, 2021. Now the time has come to open Middle-earth for even more roleplayers with a brand new 5E adaptation.

The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying contains everything you need to create exciting 5E adventures set in the world’s most popular fantasy setting: six original heroic cultures from the land of Eriador, six new classes, a host of terrifying adversaries, and comprehensive rules for journeys, councils, wondrous artefacts, and the subtle magic of Middle-earth.

The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying core compendium will enter pre-order this fall, alongside a scenario module entitled Shire Adventures. A pre-order will give you immediate access to a full PDF of the products. The retail release of both is planned for Q1 2023.

ABOUT THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ ROLEPLAYING

The One Ring™ roleplaying game is based on The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™, two extraordinary works of fiction by the beloved author and respected academic, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. With these books, Tolkien introduced readers to his greatest creation, the world of Middle-earth, a mythic land from a remote past. With The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying, Middle-earth is yours to explore using the 5E rules.
