Hillmen of the Trollshaws is a module set in Rhudaur, a former Dunedain kingdom now controlled by the Witch-king of Angmar. [1]

Reception

Andy Blakeman reviewed Hillmen of the Trollshaws for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Hillmen of the Trollshaws features Cameth Brin, a fortress built into a rocky outcrop, which protects a deserted town in its shadow. Explorations of Cameth Brin are obviously called for, and who could refuse the challenge?" [2]

J. Michael Caparula reviewed Hillmen of the Trollshaws in The Space Gamer No. 76. [1] Caparula commented that "I found Hillmen of the Trollshaws to be a good value for [the price]. if you use the 'Trollshaws' adventure in the original MERP rules as a jumping-off point, you'll find this module useful for continuing the campaign in the same area. Cameth Brin is a worthy enough conception to be used in any fantasy campaign, MERP or otherwise." [1]
