You are enjoying a rare, quiet evening at the inn in Bree when a hunter joins your table to share a tale about a dark threat looming over the North Downs. However, you are not merely simple guests at The Prancing Pony — you are members of a Company. It is your self-appointed duty to inquire about the bone-chilling dangers that might emerge from the houseless hills beyond. Are you ready to take the road to adventure? These new and beginner-friendly Starter Sets for The One Ring tabletop RPG and The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying 5E, based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, provide all you need to embark on your journeys in Middle-earth. Immerse yourself in a world set between the time of Bilbo's first adventure and the events of The Lord of the Rings, exploring the Lone-lands of Eriador and taking on the roles of characters whose stories are yet to be told.
