War of the Rohirrim

THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM CAMPAIGN

Here, we present you with The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim campaign, a system for linking your games together in such a way that the results of one game can impact your next game, or even one much later on! This will join together the already dynamic Narrative Play Scenarios in such a way that it will feel as if you are playing through the scenes directly from the stories of Middle-earth.

This supplement focuses on the battles and events that happened during The War of the Rohirrim and the upheaval unleashed by Wulf's bloody desire for vengeance. The Scenarios begin with the event that caused this time of strife - the death of Freca. From there, you will play through the climactic events of The War of the Rohirrim; from Héra's desperate escape from a rabid Mûmak, to the fierce battles in the streets of Edoras and Héra's epic stand before the Hornburg.

You can play this campaign with as few as two people, though, if you wish, different players can take control of different Scenarios - that way you can get a whole gaming group involved. However, it is important to note that you should play the Scenarios in order, as the results of one Scenario may change how a later one plays.

SCENARIO BONUSES

After each Scenario has been completed, note down which side won that Scenario, either Good or Evil. This is important as, depending on who was victorious, there may be a bonus or penalty to a certain side in a future Scenario.

For example, if the Good side is victorious in the 'An Enemy Revealed' Scenario, then the Good side will receive a bonus in the 'Plains of Edoras' Scenario. These bonuses reflect the advantages of success and the edge it will give either side in the future.
