Just four works new to me this week: two fantasy novels, two tabletop roleplaying game supplements. One novel is part of a series. Again, not seeing nearly as many series works as I'd expect.

So what is the name of the official tabletop roleplaying game based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien?

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Roleplaying_Game

Two distinct games exist and are currently owned by FL. Apparently each gets this supplement with an identical description by FL, but that could be a mistake, including theirs. Wikipedia also describes the earlier "Middle-earth Role Playing", commemorated at MERPcon / "Tolkienmoot" events whose Web site, at first sight, goes up to the year 2022. A difficult time, that.
