Bree is a supplement for The One Ring role-playing game. A version for Adventures in Middle-earth, titled Bree-land Region Guide, was also released.

Official description

Welcome to Bree and The Inn of the Prancing Pony!

Nestled at the foot of the ancient landmark of the Bree-hill, Bree and The Prancing Pony provide a welcome respite from the trials of the road. With a wisdom all of its own, Bree has endured for centuries, minding its own business and serving passing travellers with good food and better beer.

Surrounded by deserted and dangerous lands, and watched over by the mysterious Rangers of the North, Bree is an ideal place to break a journey, or to begin a new one!

Bree includes:

  • Details of the Bree-land, including Bree itself, Archet, Combe and Staddle;
  • Things to do in Bree and new Bree undertakings;
  • Maps of Bree-land, Bree and The Prancing Pony;
  • A full playable culture: The Men of Bree;
  • Three exciting new adventures: Old Bones and Skin, Strange Men and Strange Roads, Holed up in Staddle.

Reception

In a review for Other Minds 18, José Enrique Vacas de la Rosa thought it was a beautifully illustrated standalone book, but noted the lack of integration with other supplements. He enjoyed most of the three adventures, but was less enthused about the Oakmen of the third adventure, describing them as a sort of evil Hobbits that did “not blend smoothly enough in the setting.”[1]
