The ''Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game'', released by Decipher Inc. in 2002 , is a Role-playing Game set in the Middle-earth of J. R. R. Tolkien 's fiction. The game is set in the years between '' The Hobbit '' and '' The Fellowship Of The Ring '', but may be run at any time from the First to Fourth Age and contains many examples of how to do so. Sourcebooks cover the events on the three books and films in the ''Lord of the Rings'' trilogy.

The system for LOTR is called CODA and is rather like a cross between RuneQuest and Traveller with Advantages and Disadvantages from the Hero System and Feats from Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition. This is not to decry the system; it is clean, functional and well described, although it has been criticised for poor system testing of the first edition. In 2003 , LOTR won the Origins Award for ''Best Roleplaying Game 2002''.

The game is the second licensed game for the setting, the other being '' Middle-earth Role Playing '' from Iron Crown Enterprises .
