The end of the Third Age draws near. Though the dragon Smaug has been felled and the Necromancer driven out of Dol Guldur, evil stirs yet in the depths of the shadows of Wilderland. People united in the prosperity of the northern realms must now contend with a growing threat that menaces their very existence, and slowly piece together the truth: the Lord of the Rings is stirring. But the heroes of this time will not rest easy on their laurels. Now is the time for brave deeds, and for courage to find a home in the hearts of the unexpected.     This is a loose framework of adventures set in the Middle-Earth setting as described by Tolkien, with a few liberties taken here and there to allow for player flexibility. Players will be tasked with creating an adventurer suitable for the low fantasy, epic tone of the setting - what little magic in the world is fading fast and beyond the realms of ordinary folk. Over the course of decades, these adventurers will lay roots across the bulk of Wilderland and be called upon to defend their home from the invasion of the Enemy. If you've ever wanted to fill the boots of a Middle-Earth hero, this is the game for you! About Me Hiya! I'm (he/him) an amateur writer, actor, and student in the far-off land of Alberta, Canada. I'm also a longtime Game Master with over eight years of experience running D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Powered by the Apocalypse games, what have you. I've introduced countless people to the hobby and hope to bring new experiences to veteran players as well! I'm into this for the storytelling aspect first and foremost. I love character voices, plot twists, and handing over some control of the narrative to players. Most importantly, I'm always the biggest fan of the player characters - this is their story, after all. I will listen to your interests, mold the story so that it places your characters first and foremost, and enjoy playing out the consequences.
