[Product Description]
Welcome to Middle-earth.
The One Ring: The Lord of the Rings RPG is an official tabletop role-playing game (RPG) based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
This book contains all the rules necessary for players to create their own heroes and embark on adventures in Eriador, an area threatened by the shadow of Sauron’s influence.
This RPG is designed to evoke the atmosphere of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
The setting is Middle-earth, twenty years after Bilbo Baggins’s remarkable disappearance and unexpected return.
There are still fifty years before the major events of The Lord of the Rings unfold.
During this untold era, you will craft your epic adventure stories.
The One Ring: The Lord of the Rings RPG Basic Rulebook includes:
- A game system that allows you to travel across vast lands, fight terrifying enemies, and meet famous Middle-earth characters.
- Six authentic cultural backgrounds for adventurers traveling in Eriador: Dwarves of the Dwarrowdelf, Barding humans, Bree folk, Northfolk nomads, Hobbits of the Shire, and Elves of Lindon.
- Advice for Loremasters (game masters) to vividly portray Middle-earth, including rules for magical treasures, the influence of the shadow corrupting people's hearts, and the “Eye of Mordor.”
- Detailed descriptions of six patrons (such as Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey) who support player heroes.
- Game data for a variety of enemies, from insignificant foes like orc soldiers and highway robbers to monstrous adversaries like cave trolls and barrow-wights.
- Rules for Loremasters to create their own “nameless ones” — mysterious monsters emerging from the dark corners of the world.
- An introductory adventure scenario, “The Misty Star,” filled with beginner-friendly advice and support for new Loremasters.
