Yesterday, D&D Beyond announced it will start selling the sourcebook for The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying<\/em> by acclaimed Swedish tabletop role-playing game publisher Free League<\/a>. Though its announcement on D&D Beyond claims this setting guide is a \u201cbrand new adaptation,\u201d it was published last year<\/a>, and is based on the second edition of Free League\u2019s One Ring <\/em>TTRPG<\/a> by Francesco Nepitello. New or not, the award-winning ruleset, adapted for fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons, is among the most popular tabletop role-playing games set in J.R.R. Tolkien’s world, and it can now be seamlessly integrated into D&D\u2019s bespoke virtual tabletop.<\/p>\n

The 240-page tome includes six classes, 12 subclasses, 14 species, and 42 unique feats, which are available for use in D&D Beyond\u2019s character creation tool. Free League crafted rules for journeying to evoke the adventures of the original books, which inspired the modern fantasy genre and the game of D&D itself. The setting guide also has adventure paths for parties levels 1-10, with new maps and monsters that are compatible with D&D Beyond\u2019s tactical VTT, Maps, which just entered beta testing<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sourcebook\u2019s mechanics were tailored specifically for Dungeons & Dragons\u2019 fifth edition. (Not the latest 2024 update<\/a>, though with backward compatibility, players should be able to use the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying <\/em>book in their 2024 games.) The D&D Beyond edition<\/a> of the book is currently available at a discounted price of $29.99, with the original book available<\/a> for just over $50 on Free League\u2019s site.<\/p>\n
