Free League Publishing are now taking pre-orders for The Lord Of The Rings: Roleplaying 5E, a supplement that adds the world of Middle-earth to the successful Dungeons & Dragons system! You can get your hands on the core book and more right now...

The Lord Of The Rings: Roleplaying 5E // Free League Publishing

All of the products that you see here are available to pre-order physically but you will also get access to the PDF versions of each of them immediately. So, if you're eager to play out some Middle-earth adventures using the 5th Edition system, you can do that sooner rather than later!

The first of the books is the one seen above which has been adapted from the second edition of The One Ring (which is bloomin' good!). Inside, you'll find loads of options for creating adventures in Middle-earth using the 5th Edition rules. his includes six Heroic Cultures, six new Classes, Adversaries, rules for Journeys, Councils, Wonderous Artefacts and using Subtle Magic in Middle-earth. If you've got Adventures In Middle-earth from Cubicle 7 then I would imagine this is an updated and tweaked version of what we got there.

Shire Adventures In 5th Edition

As well as the core book, there is also a tome looking at options for playing out adventures in The Shire!

Shire Adventures // The Lord Of The Rings: Roleplaying 5E

Inside this book, you'll find a description of The Shire as a whole plus five ready-to-play adventures. There are also characters for you to play including Primula and Rory Brandybuck, Paladin Took and Bilbo Baggins. Again, this is a little bit of an update and a twist on what was available for The One Ring but done to suit the 5th Edition rules.

The Last Homely House

Last but not least, we have The Lord Of The Rings 5E Loremaster's Screen & Rivendell Compendium.

Loremaster's Screen & Rivendell Compendium // The Lord Of The Rings: Roleplaying 5E

This will give you a fun Loremaster's Screen to hide behind as you plot, offering up information and helpful tips that you can use on the fly when roleplaying. You also get a 5th Edition version of The One Ring's Rivendell Supplement which comes with a new Patron for you to quest for, information on Rivendell itself and also rules for playing as High Elves!

If you've not tried The One Ring I would certainly recommend The Starter Set to see if you like the mechanics. I think they suit the world of Middle-earth really well and they've done a solid job with the new edition. However, if you and your group prefer 5th Edition then this new set of books is going to be a perfectly good way to enjoy Middle-earth without having to swap systems!
