What books do you actually need to play this game?

[Otaku-sempai]

I certainly agree with your sentiment there Otaku-sempai, regarding the communities you mention. However my comment was upon the hope that we might see more material regarding the actual abodes and communities of the hidden Dúnedain, which ought to be either centred in The Angle, or scattered around western Eriador.

I understand, but that also seems to be beyond the scope of the book for Bree. I think that our only hope in that regard is if there is a product that deals specifically with the Dúnedain of the North that supplements Rivendell and Ruins of the North. I am not holding my breath.

I second any opinion similar to this for new players:

1. Core Rules
2. Tales from Wilderland
3. Heart of the Wild
4. Darkening of Mirkwood
