Brigands of Mirkwood is an adventure module released for ICEs Middle Earth Role Playing Game (MERP). Containing three adventures that could be played singly or as a campaign in succession, this was typical of many MERP adventure modules in that it provided a great deal of detail. Brigands of Mirkwood includes full color maps on the inside of the covers. It includes three adventures, but also has a section on suggested adventures, which includes a host of adventure ideas. Brigands of Mirkwood has a very detailed description of its key setting: Strayhold, including places, personalities and atmosphere. The three adventures of this module were designed to be played by different levels of characters, a pattern ICE followed with a majority of their adventure Modules for the MERP system. The first adventure was for low level characters, while the third was for higher level characters. The adventures were: Excursion to the City of Strays. Raid on the Clanhall of Rogues. & The Castle of Leardinoth.
