The One Ring – The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying game is the second edition of the award winning tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™. The 352 page core features updated rules based on years of feedback, stunning new art, and a beautifully illustrated map of Middle-earth.
The game contains everything you and your friends will need to adventure in the lands of Middle-earth, including:
- A complete set of rules for roleplaying in Middle-earth
- Instructions for how to create your character and forge your own fellowship
- 11 unique Cultures and 6 different Callings to choose from
- A bestiary of enemies to face, from creeping Giant Spiders and hungry Wargs, to vicious Orcs and terrifying Stone-trolls
- Advice for telling stories that evoke the spirit and feeling of the The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™
- A complete Tale of Years spanning from the death of Smaug up to the year 2965 of the Third Age
But there’s so much more than just a new cover awaiting you. We’ve also got a look at three of the cultures you’ll be able to play as, which shows off the gorgeous art style of the new book. Take a look!
Minas Tirith is integral to the history of Middle-earth, and fans have been wondering for years how The One Ring would approach one of the most iconic locations from The Lord of the Rings™.
AdvertisementThe Men of Minas Tirith made their appearance in the first edition Adventurer’s Companion. As The One Ring moves further south with second edition, they have been added as one of the eleven core cultures for players to choose from.
With second edition, players will be able to choose Minas Tirith as one of the locations where the Company first meet, opening it up as a Sanctuary in times of rest. As well as the information provided in the core rules we will also be releasing Minas Tirith – The Tower of Guard, a supplement detailing Minas Tirith and the lands of the Steward, as well as The Errantries of the King, a campaign adventure in the vein of The Darkening of Mirkwood.
Hobbits of the Shire were one of the six core Cultures of first edition, and of course return for second edition. It’s a dangerous business, going out your door. Always better to have a hobbit along to make sure you keep your feet when you step on the road.
The High Elves of Rivendell first appeared in the Rivendell supplement for The One Ring. They are an Advanced Culture that Loremaster’s can offer as options to players during character creation. They present a unique point of view when adventuring in Middle-earth and offer a wealth of roleplaying potential.
Get ready to venture outside your door–just be wary of wizard marks.
