Free League’s Lord of the Rings Roleplaying 5E is out for pre-order now. With it, the Shire opens up to your games of 5th Edition.

Free League takes their popular One Ring 2nd Edition RPG and adapts it to the 5th Edition ruleset. Which, funnily enough, makes this the 2nd ever Lord of the Rings themed 5th Edition adaptation, along with Adventures in Middle-earth. What makes LotR RPG stand out is the adaptation of the One Ring 2E ruleset.

This means, for one thing, extensive rules for going on long journeys and meeting with councils. But what’s more, if you pre-order Lord of the Rings Roleplaying 5E, you’ll get a pdf version immediately. Details below.

Lord of the Rings Roleplaying 5E – $46.65

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 artifacts, and the subtle magic of Middle-earth.

So in the new setting, you can get six new classes. Six new cultures. Alongside the core rulebook, there’s also a collection of adventures.

Shire Adventures 5E – $35.84

EARLY ACCESS: This is a pre-order with early access. If you include this item in your order, the physical order will ship in early 2023. You will however get immediate access to a full PDF of the supplement upon purchase, via DrivethruRPG. You are also welcome to report errors in the PDF and send feedback on our forum, found here.

Shire™ Adventures is a beautifully illustrated hardback 5e supplement for The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying, offering all you need to take your first steps into Middle-earth and experience the adventures Hobbits get up to (when they cannot avoid it!). Explore the Shire with a thorough description of its four farthings and five exciting ready-to-play adventures, fully playable also by taking on the roles of some Hobbits whose descendants will go on to do extraordinary things, such as Primula and Rory Brandybuck, Paladin Took, and Bilbo Baggins himself!

It’ll be interesting to see how Free League manages the lower, subtler magic of Middle-earth with the spell levels and very mechanical magic of D&D 5E. But In The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying we’ll surely see how it all shakes out.

Happy Adventuring
