TheOneRing-CorebookIn October 2015 we presented The One Ring Bundle, featuring The One Ring™ Roleplaying Game from Sophisticated Games and Cubicle 7 Entertainment based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™. This new collection included everything you need to run a complete tabletop roleplaying game campaign that brilliantly evokes Tolkien’s unique vision.

Francesco Nepitello’s The One Ring Roleplaying Game is set in the Wilderland five years after the Battle of Five Armies. Wilderland is the region both Thorin’s Company and the Fellowship traverse on their journeys. This land is filled with instantly recognizable locations (Mirkwood, Thranduil’s Halls, Lake-town, the Lonely Mountain, Dol Guldur) and characters (Radagast the Brown, the Elvenking Thranduil, King Bard of Dale, King Dáin of Erebor).

Of several licensed RPGs over the years based on Tolkien’s works, The One Ring has drawn high praise for its effective evocation of Tolkien’s themes and atmosphere. The journey rules give the players the feeling their characters are embarking on an epic trek across Mirkwood or down the Anduin. Inventive Fellowship rules in the style of King Arthur Pendragon and Mouse Guard provide Heroes with the opportunity to rest and recuperate, to practice their skills or pursue a noble undertaking. But in every adventure there lies the insidious threat of Shadow — the corruption of spirit and the destruction of hope. With its rich and detailed background information, character types unique to the world, and a setting that changes as the Tale of Years progresses, The One Ring Roleplaying Game lets you really feel like you’re playing in Middle-earth.

Our Starter Collection (retail value $45) included the complete RPG The One Ring (retail price $30) and its companion Loremaster’s Screen and Lake-town Guide (retail $15), both as DRM-free .PDFs. Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Bonus Collection with four more supplements (retail value $84):
