The One Ring (role-playing game)
The One Ring is a role-playing game published by Cubicle 7 Entertainment (under license from Sophisticated Games), released in August 2011. The game is written by Francesco Nepitello, and features artwork by John Howe and other artists. In November 2019, the publisher decided to end the licensing agreement with Sophisticated Games, due to contractual differences.
In 2021, a new edition has been announced on Kickstarter, for crowdfunding, under the publisher Free League and began to be shipped to supporters in October of the same year. Having fulfilled all deliveries to the backers, Free League has officially released the RPG for wider retail purchase, on the 22nd of March 2022.
Setting
The initial release (originally planned to be first of a trilogy), The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild, is based in the area of northern Mirkwood, after the events of The Hobbit and before the War of the Ring.
The Second Edition of The One Ring is now set in the lone-lands of Eriador, in the year 2965 of the Third Age, moving the focus of the game to the lands of Old Arnor, with a full description of the town of Bree, including also famous locales like Weathertop, Fornost and Annuminas, providing the players with a new starting point for their adventures.
Game system
The One Ring uses custom dice, specifically a twelve sided die numbered 1-10, the "Eye of Sauron", and the "Gandalf" Rune (a Cirth G rune, r), and 6 sided dice numbered normally, but with the 1-3 being in outline, 4-5 solid, and 6 solid having also the Tengwar Lambe rune, . Standard 12-sided dice can be used, counting 11 as Sauron, and 12 as Gandalf, and standard 6 sided dice as well.
