Hey there, Minions! Grab your torches, put on your Dwarven boots, and let’s dive into one of the most awaited Kickstarter campaigns of the year—the Moria Kickstarter Campaign! We’re talking subterranean adventures, mythical treasure, and enough lore to make even Gandalf do a double-take.

The Roots of the Matter

Free League Publishing has gone all out to bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary world to life. You know the score: The One Ring™ RPG has been gracing our tables with enthralling adventures across Middle-earth. And now, the folks at Free League are taking things deeper—literally—by exploring the enigmatic halls of Khazad-dûm, otherwise known as Moria.

The Masterminds

Gareth Hanrahan, a veteran game writer, penned the module, and Francesco Nepitello oversaw the whole shebang. That’s like a dream team right there! And we can’t forget the artists. We’re talking Antonio De Luca, Giuditta Betti, Federica Costantini, Michele Galavotti, and Niklas Brandt, all banding together to make sure that Moria looks as good as it sounds.

First 24-Hour Perks

Hold your horses, Minions! There’s a special treat for those who pledge within the first 24 hours. You’ll get a unique bonus art print, featuring one of the cover pieces. I mean, who wouldn’t want a timeless piece of art commemorating their support for this epic journey?

So, What’s in the Box?

Let’s talk specifics. The campaign module is divided into several meaty chunks that will make any Tolkien fan salivate:

• Rivals, Allies, and Patrons: This part gives you the lowdown on who’s who in Moria and provides the history of the Dwarven city from its glory days to its unfortunate fall.
• Journeys in the Dark: Here you’ll find adjusted rules for underground exploration, along with Moria-specific undertakings and advice on running campaigns set in the city.
• Fell Foes: This is where you’ll find your baddies. From Orcs to even the fearsome Durin’s Bane, this section is your go-to for all things menacing.
• The Mansions of the Dwarves: This is the bulk of the campaign, filled with landmarks, hazards, and opportunities for treasure.

The One Ring™ and 5E

Not only will this campaign module be available for The One Ring™ RPG, but it’ll also be adapted for Lord of the Rings Roleplaying 5E as “Moria – Shadow of Khazad-dûm™.” So, you’ve got options, Minions!

A Flexible Playground

What makes this campaign module even more appealing is its flexibility. There’s no “true” Moria. The Loremaster has full reign on how to mold the city and the surrounding lands. You may seek the legendary Treasure Vault of Uruktharbun, or perhaps it’s a cautionary tale of a broken, empty vault.

Early Bird Gets the PDF

If the campaign is successfully funded, backers will get early access to the PDF versions, way before its official release. So there’s an extra incentive for you to back this gem of a project.

The Moria Kickstarter Campaign got funded in just 4 minutes and has already surpassed 100,000 USD within the first 30 minutes. Clearly, this is an adventure you don’t want to miss. So, Minions, gather your fellowship, check out the campaign, and let’s unlock the secrets of Khazad-dûm together.

That’s a wrap, folks! Until our next adventure, may your dice roll high and your loot be epic!
