The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Added to D&D Beyond

The core rulebook for Free League's The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying, published in 2022, is now available on D&D Beyond. Today, as announced back in August, Wizards of the Coast launched the latest addition to its growing library of third-party material to D&D Beyond with the launch of The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying, a TTRPG rulebook that adapts The One Ring RPG for D&D Fifth Edition. Unlike other third-party 5E material found on D&D Beyond, The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying utilizes Callings and Heroic Cultures instead of classes and species, and also features a more extensive line of Virtues (an equivalent to Feats in D&D.) Also included are rules on exploration and journeys, as well as roleplaying through Councils.

The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying was developed by Free League Publishing after it took over the publication of The One Ring back in 2019 from Cubicle 7. While Cubicle 7 developed their own 5E compatible RPG based on The Lord of the Rings called Adventures in Middle-Earth, Lord of the Rings RPG is a separate 5E system and approaches melding together The Lord of the Rings and 5E very differently. For one, Lord of the Rings Roleplaying utilizes 10 levels as opposed to Adventures in Middle-Earth's 20 level system.

D&D Beyond has added several new third-party supplements to its service over the past two years, including Dungeons of Drakkenheim, MCDM's Flee, Mortals, and several books by Kobold Press.

So, this is a new RPG adaptation? I didn't think WOTC had the rights to tLotR?

I believe this is likely Free League’s 5e LOTR.

The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplayingfor 5e Now Available on D&D Beyond​

Venture into Middle-earth™ with The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying

Hello! We're thrilled to announce today announced thatThe Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying for 5E is now available on D&D Beyond. Based on the second edition of The One Ring™roleplaying game by Francesco Nepitello, The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying contains everything you need to create exciting 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. The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying Key Features: Six Callings: Much like classes in Dungeons & Dragons, Callings represent the features a character has access to, as well as their virtues and beliefs. Six Heroic Cultures of Middle-earth: As with the species and backgrounds of D&D, the diverse folk of Middle-earth each have their own histories and hardships that players can choose from. Six Rewards: Unique traits that improve gear as the adventure progresses. 42 Virtues: The equivalent of D&D feats, Virtues will help players further customize their characters as they gain knowledge and experience. 22 New Monster Stat Blocks: While the heroes may not be confronting the Dark Lord Sauron himself, they will undoubtedly come across his deadly servants, like Evil Men, Orcs, Trolls, and Wraiths. A Full Setting Guide: Middle-earth's entire history would be impossible to fit into a single tome, so The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying takes players to one of the most recognizable times and locations amongst fans: Eriador in the Third Age. Six Patrons: Some extraordinary folk have already begun the fight against the Shadow, and if their goals align with the party’s, these Patrons may take the heroes under their tutelage, giving them a number of benefits. New Rules: including Shadow points, Councils, Journeys, and more! All of the maps and tokens from the printed volume have been integrated into D&D Beyond’s toolset, so you can save time planning encounters, searching for information, or rolling up characters ready to adventure in Middle-earth!
