The Lord of the Rings RPG 5e - Core Rulebook - Physical + Digital

The Lord of the Rings RPG Core Rules is a beautifully illustrated hardback rulebook for 5E compatible Middle-earth roleplaying. Based on the second edition of The One Ring RPG, it gives groups everything needed to create heroic adventures in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien.

This Lord of the Rings 5E core rulebook focuses on Eriador and the growing Shadow of the Third Age. Inside, players will find heroic cultures from the land of Eriador, new classes, dangerous adversaries and rules for journeys, councils, wondrous artefacts and the subtle magic of Middle-earth.

The The Lord of the Rings RPG Core Rules is the main starting point for groups who want Tolkien-flavoured 5E play. It is ideal for players who already know 5E and want a lower-magic, fellowship-driven campaign style where exploration, hardship and moral choices matter as much as combat.
