About me and a game

After it was cancelled due to “contractual differences” between publisher Cubicle 7 and Sophisticated Games - the licence holder for tabletop adaptations of Tolkien - fans are finally seeing the release of the second edition of The One Ring RPG. Based on the landmark fantasy novels by JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings, The One Ring 2E was initially set to be released between the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020, alongside its D&D 5E-compatible spin-off Adventures in Middle-earth.

Luckily enough, the franchise has since changed hands and is now owned by Free League, the publisher behind Tales from the Loop and the Alien RPG. Focusing on the region of Eriador - which contains some locations that fans of the books might be familiar with, such as the Shire and Rivendell - the Second Edition will continue the core gameplay mechanics of the original, whilst adding some improvements and tweaks to set it apart. Players will still be rolling a d12 whenever they want their character to do something, but the second edition will also feature new open-world aspects found in other fantasy RPGs such as Forbidden Lands.Here is a website which is a sponsor of this game -  https://luckmillionaire.com/

Another change will be the time period in which The One Ring 2E take places, moving the narrative on by around 20 years from the original setting of the first edition. Players will be able to experience the roleplaying game through a starter set that will feature playable versions of characters from the Lord of the Rings books themselves. Otherwise, players will be able to make characters from cultures not found in the previous edition, as well as look forward to a new version of the previously cancelled adventure module Moria - The Long Dark. Fans of the series and newcomers alike can expect this next entry to arrive in early 2021.
