While it was novel for its time, it didn’t generate the buzz that the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game did after the release of the movies of the same name. Iron Crown Enterprises (ICE) released the first Middle Earth centered roleplaying game system in 1984 titled Middle-Earth Role Playing (MERP). The biggest news in roleplaying that I’ve heard in a long while is not a reprint or a new edition of some roleplaying system, but rather the marriage of the D&D system with one of the origin worlds that lead to D&D in the first place.įor the longest time, Lord of the Rings has stood on its own. Nor is it common that a heavily themed roleplaying game does it just right. Each system should be judged on the game mechanisms for the type of world it aims to serve and how those work with the stories expected in that world. I’ve been a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons (Basic, Advanced, 2nd Edition, 3rd Edition), Shadowrun, d20 Modern, Pathfinder, and even a little bit of Vampire.
