It was by cubicle 7. And they had a big humble bundle with all their stuff. But now the license has gone to free league. But the adventures in middle earth books are often on eBay and marketplace etc.
I'm definitely curious if the Warden class will be seen as an alternative to the Ranger that focuses less on spellcasting and more on things like hunting and slaying monsters with weapons.
I picked this up. The introductory price was very compelling. It should be noted that the content is balanced/designed around 2014 5E. Note about Humblewood, they have released an PDF to their content (for free only if you purchased direct from them) that updates it to the 2024 system. I think thats super cool.
Pretty sure the other 5E LOTR, at least at first, was also set in the same time period and had similar magic restrictions. I played a Beorning who brewed mead named Beorning Glories.
Depending on how easy it'll be to bring standard 5e monster's without breaking game balance could determine to me if the game could be used as a ready made low magic setting.
You are thinking of Adventures In Middle Earth 5E by Cubicle 7, the previous license holders for Middle Earth RPGs. I'm not sure of all the details, but it seems like they are using the same creators, or that Free League just updated the Cubicle 7 rules. Cubicle 7 originally released an RPG called the One Ring, with a system specifically design for this setting and the accompanying themes. They then took advantage of the huge popularity of 5E and the OGL to adapt One Ring material to the 5E rule set, including the Adventuring phases and Journey rules. Free league has followed suit with a 2nd edition of the One Ring and Lord of the Ring 5E essentially being a new edition of AiME.
It would be interesting to take some of these monsters of this game. And use them in a cross plain adventure and have them show up in random places. Caged in cities or out in the wilds.
I would love to run a campaign in the 4th age, using the chapter that Tolkien wrote to start the sequel series (which he stopped). Keep the geography and cultures, go beyond Mordor, so much to see and do!
Cubicle 7 used to have the license for Lord of the Rings RPG, but it was changed to Free League. So Cubicle 7 had the One Ring RPG 1st edition and Adventures in Middle Earth a 5e version. Free League has The One Ring RPG 2nd Edition and The Lord of the Rings RPG a 5e version of the One Ring 2nd edition.
I suspect FFG still holds the Star Wars game license, but they haven't done much with it since the Asmode buyout. You can still pick up the rulebooks and the symbol-based dice in various places for their RPG if you do a bit of hunting though.
First off, love Lotr, so I am baised, but this is what I want actual DnD to do more and not for outside setting. This gives Middle Earth an identity that seems to be so missing when Wotc does their settings like DragonLance.
This is what Dragonlance and Darksun fans have been asking for since 2014 came out. It would be great if they licensed the lore to a 3rd party publisher since WotC probably can't make enough money in house.
There was the Adventures in Middle-Earth 5e series as well which was awesome.

Just got the LotR book as a birthday gift. Thus, I'd appreciate a in-depth review.

I own this and have read it a couple of times. It's a great low magic setting. The rules for social encounters and the journey phase are awesome.
Low magic gritty setting where monster are terrifying?
Sign me up

You most likely think of the One Ring, which is the system 5e version is port from
Never thought about it like that but Black Friday shopping in the wild is basically questing 🤔

I'd Like to see a more detailed review :)
I picked this up as a huge LOTR fan and would love to create a game based off LOTR lore.
I played and recorded the game of six episodes it felt like playing basic 2014 rules, it felt rushed
This is big. This means to play LotR, everyone doesnt need a book.
It means ...MICROTRANSACTIONS!
Get nickle and dime'd to death just to have all the rules needed to play! Awesome!
Boycot!
Need a print version…….
Is there any word of starwars 5e will ever come to dnd beyond
