Ents of Fangorn

Ents of Fangorn is a supplement published by Iron Crown Enterprises in 1987 for Middle-earth Role Playing (MERP), a fantasy role-playing game based on J.R.R.

In The Lord of the Rings, Ents are tree-like creatures who inhabit the forest of Fangorn, which lies between the citadel of Orthanc and the kingdom of Rohan.

[1] In the August 1989 edition of Dragon (Issue #148), Jim Bambra thought that "Ents of Fangorn is a good example of how to portray monsters in an interesting style, while still staying true to the splendor and learned feel of Middle-earth."

Bambra lauded the fact that in addition to material gleaned from Lord of the Rings, "further insights into ent life and culture are extrapolated from the available background.

"The dungeon descriptions are reminiscent of the early days of adventure design, when suitably tooled-up parties would raid the lairs of local monsters."
