Tommy's Take on The Covey (D&D 5e)

Over at The RPG Pub (my preferred home for RPG discussion on the internet), I was asked by one of our regulars to review something from their catalog. And so I am.

The Middle-Earth RPGs are heading into the West...(for now?)

In case you hadn't heard, both The One Ring and its D&D 5e variant Adventures in Middle-Earth are falling out of print soon as Cubicle7 and license holder Sophisticated Games have ended their agreement suddenly.

I ran The One Ring for my group and quite enjoyed it (and reviewed it here), and used the Mythic GM Emulator Deck to try Adventures in Middle-Earth. I think both are great systems and I can't make a strong recommendation for one over the other, but Cubicle7 has offered both in charity bundles:

The One Ring collection is available in two Bundles of Holding: The One Ring and The One Ring Journeys.

Adventures in Middle-Earth is simultaneously available in a Humble Bundle.

Sophisticated Games has hinted on social media that the games are not necessarily dead, but either way, both lines of plenty of material to support your campaigns, and this is your best bet to get them cheap (AND support charity!).
