In the edges of Rohan lurks a growing threat of banditry. The peasants cry out for aid! Will you be the heroes to rise to the task, or will you fall?

About the adventure

A bandit uprising threatens small villages around the realm of Rohan as the people desperately call for aid. Gondor seems unlikely to aid so mercenary companies and fellowships are being summoned for their sword. Will you aid the line of Rohans royalty to save the people or will you fall victim to the rampant corruption and shadow that eats away at the very hearts of men? This will be a roleplay heavy but combat friendly game session welcoming both new players and old. Lore will always be excitedly discussed if asked about but I cannot promise 100% accuracy to the "canon" of Lord of the Rings as this is a role-playing game and I will be putting the fun of the party before actual dates of events. This game is set in the roughly 80 years between the events at the end of The Hobbit and the start of Lord of the Rings.

About me

Experienced and inclusive DM accustomed to a variety of player styles. I started playing roleplaying games as a young child with my uncle and siblings, and migrated to making my own campaigns to run in my teenage years and haven't stopped yet! Love to homebrew my own content- from entire worlds and religious systems to just small content like races and classes.

Evan was the DM for my very first DND character/campaign. He was very patient with me while explaining the rules and even helped with character creation. When I approached him later on about wanting to expand on my character to give her a little more depth, he even helped by guiding my party into a position that would facilitate my character’s development

The greatest DM I've ever had! He introduced me to the game in 2021, and I have played multiple campaigns with him since then. He is very beginner-friendly and patient. He let me play the characters I wanted, mixing them into his worlds perfectly. His own NPCs were also fantastic, and his voices for them are great! I felt like I was a part of a living and breathing world! Also, I love his world lore. I could text him at any moment and he would lore dump me with his world that helped me envision it the way he had in his brain. Overall, can't go wrong with having him as your DM!

I have had the pleasure of playing with and learning the game under Evan, and I can honestly say that he is the best Dungeon Master I've ever had the privilege of playing with. Evan is not only an incredibly skilled storyteller and worldbuilder, but he also embodies the qualities that make a truly great DM; inclusivity, patience, and collaboration. One of the standout qualities of Evan’s is his openness to teaching new players. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned veteran, he creates an environment where everyone feels welcome and encouraged to participate. He has a rare ability to explain the rules and mechanics in a way that's easy to understand, making the game very accessible to new players without feeling embarrassed or overwhelmed. This open-minded, supportive approach allows players of all experience levels to jump in and feel like an active part of the adventure. In addition to being a fantastic teacher, Evan is extremely inclusive. He works hard to make sure that everyone at the table feels heard, respected, and valued, and goes out of his way to create diverse storylines that allow all characters to shine. No idea is too small or too "out there”, Evan is always open to incorporating player suggestions, whether it's a unique character backstory or an unexpected plot twist. This flexibility makes every session feel personal and unique. Overall, playing with Evan is an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DM who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also kind, patient, and truly committed to creating a fun, inclusive, and memorable experience for everyone at the table.

Our G was fantastic! He's excellent at balancing game mechanics and adapting to not only a vast variety of situations but also play styles. He is fair and creative and we never knew what wild twist he was going to throw at us next. The story was awesome and had so many layers to fold that intertwined no matter er where we went or what we did. He was wonderful at teaching the party members we had that had never really played before and made it very easy to jump in and have fun without making the mechanics daunting. I would definitely recommend and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us next time

Creating your character

Character Creation will be done together in the session 0 provided.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Preferably the party will have their own copy of The One Ring 2e whether it be via PDF or hardcover. Reading it is encouraged but not necessary.

What Evan Brown (Fanatic Crab) brings to the table

I have the maps and dice set up on a table in tabletop simulator for the party to use with me. Voices will be attempted but due to a natural human voice range please do understand that you may occasionally have NPCs that sound the same. I will be attempting to play ambiance music in the background.

How Evan Brown (Fanatic Crab) creates a safe table

In session 0 we will go over character Creation for everyone as well as any boundaries or limits for the party. This will be a predominantly roleplay campaign with the opportunity for combat nearly wherever the party turns if they decide to deal with situations through it. Rules will take a backseat to fun at times within reason.
