Hello Everyone, 

I will be running a LOTR one shot campaign in a week. I have the Loremaster's guidebook as well as Ruins of Eriador, Tales from Eriador and Shire Adventures. 

I want to give my players a fun, immersive experience at the table. We play in person, so I already have minis, maps, and audio (the LOTR soundtracks are amazing) 

I was wondering if anyone has ever run this content and if so, anything I should know going into this? 

I've been brushing up on my Middle Earth lore as well as Tolkien information. The content takes place during the third age between Bilbo's adventures in The Hobbit, and Frodo's adventure to destroy the ring. 

Anyone have a good idea for the BBEG? My players really want to fight a Balrog, but I want to make sure its story  relevant. 

I'd love to hear what you guys think!
