D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

For those who prefer to adventure in Middle Earth using the D&D 5E ruleset rather than Free League's The One Ring game (which made over $2M on Kickstarter in 2021), the 5E-powered version is coming in May!

This will be a 236-page hardcover book containing 6 new classes, journey rules, and magic which represents the more low-key magic of Tolkien.

Additionally, Shire Adventures is a 104-page book with 5 short adventures and setting details for The Shire region of Middle Earth.

That's not all though -- there will be a RIvendell compendium, and a Loremaster's Screen too.

These will be landing on May 9th.

5e is so old that there will be two different licensed Lord of the Rings versions!

So how many versions of Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth 5e are there now? I'm losing count.

Currently in print? This will be the only version of MIddle Earth 5E available. Prior to that Cubicle 7 did Adventures in Middle Earth which was also 5E.

My preference for roleplaying Middle Earth is still The One Ring, but AiME was a great game that had a lot of stuff you could add to 5e, and I expect this new version of it to be great as well.

How many versions of LotR are they going to try and make?

Nine.

Nine.

That’s only for mortal men, three for elven kings, too.
