Shire™ Adventures is a beautifully illustrated hardback 5e supplement for The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying, offering all you need to take your first steps into Middle-earth and experience the adventures Hobbits get up to (when they cannot avoid it!). Explore the Shire with a thorough description of its four farthings and five exciting ready-to-play adventures, fully playable also by taking on the roles of some Hobbits whose descendants will go on to do extraordinary things, such as Primula and Rory Brandybuck, Paladin Took, and Bilbo Baggins himself!
I was able to get a review copy of The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Shire Adventures. I was able to do an unboxing video to see what is inside this neat book.
This maybe a small book but is very VERY IMMERSIVE! You will go on journeys where you report back to your council on your goals, negotiations and much more! Your characters are slow in build in development as their isn’t much rules like in previous games, but allows you the opportunity to really thing of them. You can be creative for your characters and give them the opportunity to flourish in the game. As for characters, we did have small fight over who would be Bilbo Baggins. Who doesn’t want to be Bilbo!!?? We were very excited to learn Bilbo is in the adventure and we all wanted a taste of The Hobbit himself. Of course, we took turns and took him on a journey through Middle Earth!
Pro:
- Character Development
- You can learn more about each character with the Appendix in the book and develop them further throughout the game.
- Bilbo Baggins
- Yes! You can choose Bilbo as a character during the game! Very popular in my group!
Con:
None
Rating: 9 out of 10
