Through Wednesday, January 8, 2025 we present The One Ring 2E Bundle, a new offer featuring The One Ring™ Second Edition (2022), the official RPG from Free League Publishing based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Designed specifically to evoke the atmosphere of The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™, the game contains rules for creating heroes and sending them off on adventures in Eriador, west of the Misty Mountains – a land threatened by the growing Shadow. This new offer brings you the beautifully illustrated full-color The One Ring 2E rules set plus recent guides and adventures for a great price.
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 Dain 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 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 you’re playing in Middle-earth.
This new offer of The One Ring 2E gives you everything you need for a campaign that evokes an authentic Tolkien atmosphere. Pay just US$7.95 to get all five titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $46) as DRM-free .PDFs, including the complete The One Ring Second Edition Core Rules (plus the Character Lifepaths and Peoples of Wilderland), along with two titles previously presented in the February 2023 One Ring Starter Bundle: the Loremaster’s Screen & Rivendell Compendium and the Strider Mode solitaire rules.
And if you pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $17.95 to start, you’ll level up and also get our entire Bonus Collection with two more titles worth an additional $40: Gareth Hanrahan’s location guide Ruins of the Lost Realm and its companion adventure anthology, Tales from the Lone-lands.
We presented The One Ring First Edition (then published by Cubicle 7 Entertainment) in four offers, 2015-2019, and Free League’s The One Ring Starter Set in February 2023. This Second Edition rules set is new to the Bundle of Holding.
Ten percent of your payment (after gateway fees) goes to this One Ring offer’s designated charity, the Diana Jones Award Emerging Designer Program. Each year, the Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, amplifies the voices of up-and-coming game designers by featuring them during an expenses-paid visit to Gen Con. The global Emerging Designer Program focuses on creators from marginalized communities.
It’s getting difficult to keep from calling it “my precious,” so we’ll stop here. This new offer of The One Ring passes into the West Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
