The Loremaster’s Guide is almost complete – we’re still hoping for an end of month PDF release, but with the holiday season fast approaching there’s a possibility we might slip into next month. Fingers crossed we don’t! The print edition will follow as soon as humanly (printerly?) possible!

In case you missed it, we did a full review of the first book in the series, Adventures In Middle-earth Players Guide.
Awhile back, we told you that Cubicle 7 Entertainment and Sophisticated Games were bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth to Dungeons & Dragons 5E.
We now, have a bit more information on what we will be seeing.
Dominic McDowall, Cubicle 7 CEO says:
“When the OGL was announced for 5th Edition, we knew we had to embark on a new quest. We have so much incredible material for The One Ring, and have answered so many of the questions posed by how to make a superlative, highly playable game set in Middle-earth, that we want to share with an even wider audience.”
The first book will be the Adventures in Middle-earth Players Guide which offers new races, classes, backgrounds and virtues, allowing you to create Middle-earth themed characters. It supplies new rules for Journeys, so much at the heart of Middle-earth stories. We add a system for tracking Corruption in the face of The Shadow, and introduce The Fellowship Phase, which gives players a chance to proactively describe what their characters are doing between adventures and build their story. There are also rules for Audiences, facilitating encounters between the great and the good of Middle-earth and your characters.
