Ruins of the North

"Is this your mum?"

(sounds of stifled dwarvish chuckling)

You've just reminded me of the Mary Whitehouse experience, "that's your mum, that is".

[Halbarad]

the Mary Whitehouse Experience. That takes me back a bit. History Today, Edward Collanderhands and the Cure doing 'happy' songs. Absolute brilliance.

I'm pretty sure we took a wrong turn somewhere, I told you Lake Town was not this way'

"Ruins of the North is an adventure anthology that takes your company from Wilderland and into Eriador,.."

Has there been any mention of the timeline for this supplement? Just curious as the DoM is a 30 year campaign and though Elves and Dwarves should not be a problem, I doubt that Middle-men could finish DoM and then do another 30 year campaign in Eriador. Plus whatever extra time spent on TotW and HotW

However, Freida is on the cover of this supplement. So, I was curious as how one might work out connecting all the campaigns if there is a crossover as stated in the above quote with the normal lifespan of Hobbits and Middle-Men considering one of the iconic characters seems to be doing so.

"Ha! The Crossroads, just like I said. The road on the right will take us to Osgiliath. I told you I knew where I was going."

Wow thanks for sharing the cover!!

IIRC, RotN is run concurrently with DoM. Or pretty to it at least.

We'll be talking about Ruins of the North far more in the coming months, but it's been designed with various jumping on points in mind: you could jump into it from Tales from Wilderland, you could jump into it post Darkening of Mirkwood, or you could ignore both of those and play it with a fresh company (although it's not entirely suitable for newbies). As with Tales from Wilderland, we do suggest dates, but there's nothing stopping them from being disregarded altogether if you prefer - there's nothing terribly time sensitive with regard to the tale of years.

Thanks Andrew!

I'm excited to hear more the little tidbits at the end of core rulebook. Especially the adventure concerning the mysterious caravan.
