Assassins of Dol Amroth, published in 1987, is an expansion set for the Middle-earth Role Playing game. Dol Amroth and its inhabitants have inspired artists like Ted Nasmith (for the Middle-earth Collectible Card Game) and Anke Eißmann.
Dol Amroth is referenced in the name of a rock spire in the Cascade Mountains. It was named so by Dean Wilson, Robert A. Wilson and Allen A. Smith who traversed the area west of Mount Buckindy in 1972 and applied a number of names from The Lord of the Rings to local peaks.
The Knights of Dol Amroth are featured as a mini-hero unit for Men in the Rise of the Witch-King Expansion Pack to the popular Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth II RTS computer game.
