How to Get Into the Action
If you have a friend that already has the rulebook and a campaign source, they have have everything you need to get into the game! If you're looking to GM a session, or just want to explore the lore of the Middle Earth universe, read on!
Below are some affiliate links for things I myself have purchased and tried out. Roll well!
Start Here
The Starter Box is usually a good way to explore a new game, and for this one, it's no exception. It comes with a basic rulebook, but if you're wanting the full-blown rules (and the lore), grab the Core Rulebook. This starter set in particular comes with a handful of pre-generated characters, and a small adventure to get you and your party used to the rules. The Loremaster's screen is a nice addition if you'll be running the campaign for your group. Last, if you're going to be playing the 5e version of the game and are unfamiliar with the rules, I'd also recommend the player's handbook for that as a reference.
DnD 5e Player's Handbook
Expansions
Expand upon your campaign and lore repotriere with these source books. Good to grab after running through the starter box.
Extras
You don't need to purchase extra dice. The starter box comes with enough to play the game. But, you'll need to pass these around / share them among other players, so having an extra set of each will help speed the game up. Also, for storage, I simply keep the components in the Starter and Heart of Darkness boxes.
Storage / Transport
Currently finding that the start box acts as a great way to store the dice, character sheets, maps, etc that are included in the game!
Painting
No minis come with this game to paint up, but you could always incorporate some, and terrain to help bring your setting to life!
Army Building
No army building here; party creation handled by character sheets and your LM!
