The One Ring Preview 11: Supplements

[Andrew]

We’re gearing up for the release of a new edition of The One Ring Roleplaying Game, and prior to it going on pre-order next week we’re publishing a series of articles that each take a look at a different aspect of the game. Today’s article looks at the other supplements available for The One Ring.

The One Ring Roleplaying Game is already supported by a fantastic line of award-winning supplements, all of which are compatible with the new revised edition.

Tales from Wilderland contains seven ready-to-play adventures that can either be played on their own, or together to form an epic campaign. From a failed robbery to kidnapped Hobbits, a blood feud to a malignant threat, these adventures will keep the company busy for many a session.

The Heart of the Wild describes the setting of Wilderland in greater depth than ever before, from the banks of the Anduin and the foothills of the Misty Mountains to the dark heart of Mirkwood. Not only is the book packed with setting information, including adventure hooks aplenty, but also a bestiary of horrible monsters to give your players nightmares!

The Darkening of Mirkwood builds upon the setting information of The Heart of the Wild with a truly epic campaign spanning thirty years of game-time, in which the fate of Mirkwood and all its denizens hang in the balance. Enough adventures not just for a company, but quite possibly for their descendants too.

There are two must-have accessories for Loremasters running The One Ring: The One Ring Dice Set, and The Loremaster’s Screen & Lake-town Guide. The first of these accessories contains a complete set of dice specially made for game, complete with Gandalf and Eye of Sauron runes. The second accessory not only contains a handy screen, complete with reference tables and Jon Hodgson’s stunning depiction of Lake-town, but also a complete Lake-town supplement, including a new heroic culture.

Finally, Hobbit Tales is a standalone card game that sees players competing to tell stories of their (Hobbit-sized) adventures. What makes it of particular interest to players of The One Ring is that it includes a set of rules for using the cards to generate Hazard episodes in the roleplaying game.

And, if that’s whet your appetite for The One Ring supplements, make sure you check out our preview of what other supplements are in the works here.

Already Own The One Ring

If you’re already a fan of The One Ring, you’ll no doubt already have many of these supplements and be eagerly awaiting the next release: Rivendell. Well, keep your eyes on the Cubicle 7 website, as we’ll be peeking beneath the covers of Rivendell in the coming weeks.

Exciting stuff! Do we know if there will be any kind of PDF specifically for any changes that should be noted for the LM Screen?

I suppose the PDF documenting the changes from the original core publication, for those of us who will still be using that, should be enough to go on.

[Beran]

Why is the Rivendell sourcebook pictured as one of the available supplements?

[Andrew]

It's not, Beran, it's on there because I talk about it at the end of the post in the context of what's coming next.

If at some point in the future you re-release Tales from Wilderland in hardcover, please consider to include 1or 2 bonus adventures. That way, you'll be offering a unavoidable extra value. Thanks.

It's never easy, because then some people will complain that C7 is pushing us to re-buy an already published supplement (assuming the licence allows them to do it freely).

Yeah, I was thinking the same
On the other hand, there is people who would complain whatever your choice

[fbnaulin]

I think many of us could be buying it again just because it's hardcover. So, if it comes with some extra content it would be a better offer. Anyway, I understand your thinking.

I'd rather see soft-bound adventure supplements every six months. (Is there a Quenya word for "module"?)

[Rich H]

... I'd much prefer softback adventure books, personally. Bit disappointed the "Ruins of the North" looks to be hardback.
