Free League Publishing has announced that The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying for 5E is now available on D&D Beyond. Based on Francesco Nepitello’s second edition of The One Ring, this adaptation brings the beloved world of Middle-earth into the widely-used Dungeons & Dragons 5E system, providing a new way for players and Dungeon Masters to explore the iconic fantasy setting.
The game introduces a range of features tailored to the themes and tone of Middle-earth, including unique character options, new classes and abilities, and adversaries drawn from Tolkien’s lore. The setting focuses on the land of Eriador during the Third Age, offering players a chance to immerse themselves in one of the most recognizable periods of Middle-earth’s history. Rules for journeys, councils, and the subtle magic of Middle-earth have been designed to align with the storytelling style of the source material, while additional mechanics such as Shadow points add layers of moral complexity to the gameplay.
All of the content from the physical edition, including maps and tokens, has been integrated into D&D Beyond’s digital tools.
