Eldritch History: RPG Legends & Lore
Eldritch History is a podcast about the background, legends and lore of tabletop role playing games. Each episode focuses on a specific element of TTRPGs (a particular game, character, story, product, company, movie, etc) and explores its fictional and real world origins. Have you ever wondered where the Whispered One came from? Why the gorgon is a bull? Why are there so many games about Cthulhu? Then this is the podcast for you.
Eldritch History: RPG Legends & Lore
Lord of the Rings RPGs
One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all,
and in the darkness bind them!
I wish there was only one Middle-Earth game to bind all the players together, but over the past 40 years of LotR RPGs, there's a few more than that. This episode breaks down the gaming (and legal!) history of Tolkien's greatest works. From M.E.R.P. to the One Ring and everything in between.
