I’m curious if there are any official or community-made modules available for Adventures in Middle Earth. All I’ve come across so far are the player and loremaster books, plus regional guides. I can’t seem to find any player-created campaigns or modules online, despite searching on Google. I’m even considering just using MERP since it seems to have a ton of content. Any suggestions?

Just a heads up, Adventures in Middle Earth is basically a 5e version of The One Ring 1e. For a more authentic LOTR experience, I’d suggest The One Ring 1e or 2e—they really nail the feel of Middle Earth. Both versions have some modules and adventures, but if you’re going for MERP, just know it can play more like a D&D game rather than a true LOTR RPG. It also has a lot of non-canon stuff, so that might matter depending on what you’re looking for.
You might want to check out The One Ring 2e or Against the Darkmaster (AtDM). AtDM is basically like MERP, just with some updates. The One Ring is known for its strong narrative and good mechanics, so if you’re after that authentic LOTR vibe, it’s worth looking into!
I’ve checked out TOR, but honestly, the combat doesn’t look very exciting to me, which is what I’m after. I think I’ll try AiME and MERP first and see how their combat systems work. MERP does have some solid crunch for combat!
