The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game Set for Release on May 9th 2023

Free League Publishing has announced the upcoming release of The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying, a 5E adaptation of the award-winning second edition of The One Ring™ RPG. The game is scheduled to be released on May 9th, offering new adventurers a chance to explore Middle-earth.

The 236-page hardback volume of The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying features a stunning design and illustrations, providing players with everything they need to create 5E adventures in the world’s most famous fantasy setting. The game includes six original heroic cultures from the land of Eriador, six new classes, comprehensive rules for journeys, councils, wondrous artifacts, and the subtle magic of Middle-earth, as well as a variety of terrifying adversaries.

Shire Adventures, a 104-page hardback volume, offers a detailed description of the Shire, five short adventures, and seven pre-generated characters, including well-known Bagginses, Tooks, and Brandybucks. The contents of Shire Adventures are adapted from The One Ring™ RPG Starter Set.

A Loremaster’s Screen with a Rivendell compendium, featuring a map of the valley and a plan of the house itself, is also available.

The new edition of The One Ring RPG, designed by Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi, became the most successful tabletop roleplaying core game on Kickstarter in March 2021. The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying now opens the world of Middle-earth to new roleplayers with a 5E adaptation.

A new trailer for The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying features Elijah Wood, Deborah Ann Woll, Reggie Watts, and others, with footage from the liveplay of the game recorded by Lost Odyssey Events at the LA Comic Con.

The One Ring RPG, first released in 2011, has been acclaimed as the best attempt at bringing Middle-earth to the gaming table. The new 5E conversion, The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying, aims to bring new players further into the Twilight of the Third Age.

The game is set in the year 2965 of the Third Age, as the Shadow returns and rumors of strange occurrences spread. Players form a company of heroes seeking adventure in the Lone-lands of Eriador, where the One Ring lies, eventually leading the world to open war against the returning Shadow.

The One Ring Roleplaying Game was awarded a Gold ENNIE for Best Interior Art in 2022.
