Angus McBride’s Characters of Middle-earth
Klappentext: In a fantasy role playing game¸ you become the main character in an adventure you create. With Angus McBride’s Characters of Middle-earth your fantasy campaign will feature more than merely a mind’s eye view of the famous and infamous characters from J.R.R. Tolkien’s THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Twenty nine full-color plates (unmarred by text) bring these powerful individuals to life along with portraits of lesser known adventurers to be used by players in a Middle-earth game.
This volume describes individuals¸ both prominent and obscure¸ who roam Tolkien’s world. Portrayed by Angus McBride for use by Gamemasters as NPCs or by Players as PCs¸ each color plate is accompanied by a page of relevant text. A brief fantasy description of the action¸ a note on the setting¸ a description¸ of the characters depicted¸ and full game statistics for the MERP and Rolemaster systems are included. These stats can be easily converted to most major FRP systems.
When Gandalf¸ the Witch-king¸ or Galadriel arrives on the scene¸ Gamemasters will now have an illustration to display. And each player can possess a full-color rendering of his or her character. As Marhic¸ flee Low Nose the Asdriag through the streets of seedy Strayhold. Combat a camel-mounted Silent One as Mairan of Greater Harad. Or hold your breath as Ehlissa when a dread Wraith looks your way.
