Editing Middle-Earth Role Playing (section)

==The Setting==
You don't really need any additional manual to play: Tolkien had made a big amount of work, and if someone had read The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion - not to say the massive History of Middle Earth series compiled by his son - that's about all an halfway-decent GM would need to put a campaign together. But I.C.E., being the awesome band of Nerds that they were, supplied us with many goodies.

The game was supposed to be played in the years between 1600 and 1700 of the Third Age, and all the modules detail this period, that feels a lot like the original but with a little more spice - Khazad-Dum was still a thriving Dwarf Fortress and no [[Fun]] had yet occurred, Arnor and Gondor are still powerful kingdoms, etc. - so you have plenty of adventure going around - but nothing stops you from using different Ages.

All geographic modules - of which I.C.E. put out a good amount, of varying but generally good quality - read like history books and can be interesting even for non-players as good sources of lore about Middle Earth and Tolkien-related stuff. Among them there's a Sourcebook which’s nothing but a big dictionary of the Elvish tongues and a glossary of Middle Earth terms, in case you want to experience the full Tolkien experience and roleplay everything in Quenya (one of the Languages Tolkien created) without subtitles.
