About the adventure

This game is welcome to people of all backgrounds, genders and orientations. If you have any issues with inclusivity, this may not be the game for you! Beginners and Veterans alike are welcome, and I'm happy to help you build your characters! Since the Battle of Five armies, a looming shadow creeps over the land. Word of War in Gondor, Orcs awake in Moria, Mirkwood is haunted by the ghosts left behind by The Necromancer and the Folk of Bree see more southerners arriving, while whispers in the Barrows make travellers wary. You have been called to Bree by a mysterious figure and where the road may lead, who can say? Join a band of Free Folk and join a quest for Gold, Glory and to bring light into places the Shadow dwells in the rich setting of Middle Earth!
