Core Book

Updated 8/28/02

The first product for Decipher's new The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game – the Core Book – launched at Gen Con 2002 in Milwaukee and is now available for pre-order at the Decipher Store and Lord of the Rings Fan Club Store! Built upon Decipher's 'Coda' System, the Core Book features a magic system that perfectly captures the flavor of Tolkien's Middle-earth.

Beautifully illustrated with images from The Fellowship of the Ring film, the Core Book contains both player and narrator sections with full guidelines for creating player characters, background information about the lands and people of Middle-earth, and complete gameplay rules.

Preview some sample pages and prepare to create your own Fellowship!
