Tolkien, alongside Trials of Saruman, its 5E counterpart for The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying.

All three releases are available now from the Free League webshop, including a complimentary PDF, at hobby stores worldwide, and digitally via DriveThruRPG.

Hands of the White Wizard & Trials of Saruman

Set between the year 2965 of the Third Age and the opening moves of the War of the Ring, Hands of the White Wizard and Trials of Saruman invite players to serve or watch Saruman the White before the treachery of Isengard begins. Across six adventures, players will journey into Isengard and decide whether Saruman’s doom is already written or whether they can still change his fate and save the White Wizard from corruption. Key features:

• Six adventures that can be played individually or as part of a larger Middle-earth tale
• A story centered on Saruman the White before his fall
• The choice to serve or watch the White Wizard as his pride begins to grow
• New allies, foes, mysteries, and lore tied to Isengard

Hobbit Tales

Hobbit Tales brings adventures across the Shire to The One Ring, offering everything players need to experience the kinds of adventures Hobbits get up to when they cannot avoid it. The supplement includes a description of the four farthings of the Shire and five ready-to-play adventures, with players able to take on the roles of Hobbits such as Primula and Rory Brandybuck, Paladin Took, and Bilbo Baggins himself. Key features:

• Five ready-to-play adventures for The One Ring
• A journey across the four farthings of the Shire
• The chance to play as notable Hobbits connected to Middle-earth’s legendary families
