Journey Through the Mines of Moria™
The Lord of the Rings™
Roleplaying Adventure Game in Stores This Month!
The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Adventure
Game, the first of Decipher's roleplaying games (RPGs) for
New Line Cinema's epic trilogy adventure, The Lord of the
Rings, will hit stores internationally on January 30,
offering both RPG and movie fans around the world the excitement
and exhilaration that Tolkien's Hobbits, Dwarves, and Men
face as they journey through the mythic expanses of Middle-earth.
"The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Adventure Game
is an entry level RPG that will appeal to gaming novices and
Tolkien fans who are not gamers. Experienced gamers will see
it as an invaluable resource for entry into Tolkien's world,"
shares Christian Moore, head of the Decipher RPG Studio.
This introduction to roleplaying games includes a complete
adventure narrative, Through the Mines of Moria, drawn
from The Fellowship of the Ring™, the first film
of the trilogy. Players who choose to travel Through the
Mines of Moria assume the roles of the members of The
Fellowship of the Ring, and relive their dangerous and
legendary adventures. Through the Mines of Moria begins
at the western doors leading into Moria, takes players through
several encounters with servants of the Shadow, and culminates
with a climactic battle against the dreaded Balrog.
