"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

The Road Goes Ever On: A Song Cycle Paperback – 1969

Not exactly role playing but adjacent in my mind!

From the web:

Frodo Lives - in song and story. Come to Middle Earth and sing like the hobbits. Those charming poems and enchanting songs from J.R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings are ready for you and all the world to sing. Seven of Professor Tolkien's splendid poems have now been set to music by composer Donald Swann. His musical arrangements capture all the magic and enchantment of Middle Earth. Sing of Frodo and Sam journeying to Mount Doom! Sing of Treebeard herding the trees! And sing with Bilbo as the road goes ever on! Here are songs to delight the ear and to make the hiar grow between one's toes. The decorations on each page - in Elvish, or course - are in J.R. R. Tolkien's own hand. Contents: 1. The Road Goes Ever on; 2. Upon the Hearth the Fire Is Red; 3. In the Willow-meads of Tasarinan; 4. In Western Lands; 5. Namarie (Farewell); 6. I Sit Beside the Fire; 7. Errantry. Guitar chord symbols are included for songs 1, 2, 4, and 6.
