Tales from Wilderland is an adventure supplement for The One Ring role-playing game. A version for Adventures in Middle-earth, titled Wilderland Adventures, was also released.
Official description
A failed robbery, the daring of two Hobbit brothers, a terrible crime, the flight of the Elves, the affairs of Wizards, black treachery, an ancient threat - seven stories to be told in the Twilight of the Third Age. Seven adventures need a company of heroes to undertake them.
Tales from Wilderland contains seven ready-to-play adventures, complete scenarios that can be played separately, or as an epic campaign spanning across a number of years. All adventures are set in the years after 2946, and take place in Wilderland.
A wealth of background material expands the setting information contained in the core set for The One Ring, the newest fantasy roleplaying game based upon The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the world-renowned masterpieces written by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Will you dare enter the great forest of Mirkwood, journey under the shadow of the Misty Mountains, visit the house of Beorn, follow the River Anduin down to the Gladden Fields, or climb the Grey Mountains to look upon the Withered Heath?
Reception
In a review for Other Minds 16, Thomas Morwinsky described Tales from Wilderland as a collection of "well-themed, highly playable adventures with a dense atmosphere" and recommended it strongly, while noting a handful of minor lore issues.[1]
The first of these is the character of Irimë, who Morwinsky assumed is intended to be identified with the daughter of Finwë. He found it unusual for a Noldo to reside long-term at the Elvenking's Halls. Another issue is the identification of the Northmen in Haycombe as Éothéod, which he found to clash with Tolkien's precise definition of their territory during the period in which the sequence featuring them is set. Lastly, Morwinsky considered the appearance of the ghost of the former Master of Lake-town to potentially clash with Tolkien's writings on the fate of Men after death.[1]
