The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying 5E Starter Set

Middle-earth, run on the rules everybody already knows.

Free League have spent years making the best-looking Middle-earth roleplaying material anyone has produced, and this is the box that lets you play it without learning a new system. It uses fifth edition rules, so if your group has played the big fantasy game they can start tonight. Inside: a rulebook, pre-generated heroes, dice, maps and a starting adventure set in Eriador.

What Free League bring is tone. This is not a dungeon game with hobbits bolted on — travel is dangerous and slow, hope is a resource you can run out of, and the Shadow works on your characters over time whether or not anything attacks them. The cultures and callings replace the usual class list with something that actually sounds like Tolkien. Handsome enough that it tends to sell to people who have no intention of running it.

Perfect for: The group who reread the books every few years and have been waiting for the right excuse.
