Ruins of the North Cover Revealed!

Post by Andrew » Thu Nov 13, 2014 3:08 pm

Those sharp-eyed Hobbits amongst you might have noticed a hitherto unreleased cover image hidden in the back of The One Ring Revised Edition, for the next supplement in the line: Ruins of the North.

Well, today we thought we'd show you it in all its glory!

Yesterday we talked about how the Rivendellsupplement opened up the east of Eriador for brave companies of adventurers, but how it wasn't the only piece of the setting. Well, today we're proud to show off Jon Hodgson's incredible cover art for the forthcoming adventure anthology, Ruins of the North, which contains six new adventures set in Eriador.

About Ruins of the North

Children kidnapped in the night, unusually cunning Trolls, a mysterious caravan, the fate of a company of Hobbits, the legacy of the Dúnedain and an evil awakening beneath the barrows – six new stories set in the ancient land of Eriador. Six adventures that need a company of heroes to undertake them.

Ruins of the North contains six ready-to-play adventures, complete scenarios that can be played separately or as an epic series spanning a number of years. All adventurers are set in the years prior to 2977, and take place in the lands surrounding Rivendell.

Ruins of the North complements the background and rules material contained in the Rivendell supplement, the latest supplement for The One Ring Roleplaying Game based upon The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the world-renowned masterpieces written by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Ruins of the North is written by Francesco Nepitello, James Brown, Adam Dials, Richard Harrison, TS Luikart, Marco Rafala and James M. Spahn.

The pre-order for Ruins of the North is coming soon - keep an eye on the website for more information as it draws near.

Looks great. Hodgson's art is always stellar! 8-)

Nice to see James Brown as one of the writers. He used to hang about these forums, but I haven't seen posts from him in awhile.

This is indeed wonderful news! Within the same week you announce the two books in the line that I look forward to the most - the hardbound version of Rivendell and the cover of Ruins of the North.

This is a win-win as far as I'm concerned. :)

I hope they don't announce more than two; I don't have any more eyes to keep on the website.

Thanks for the kind words Majestic. I haven't been around lately due to a very busy schedule and life. After receiving an email from Andrew about the cover, however, I decided to stop in and check things out for a moment. Today is my day off and I am enjoying the relaxation.

Being an author for Ruins of the North has been such a great honour and I thank everyone at Cubicle7 for having the confidence in me and allowing me the privilege. I cannot wait to see some of the artwork and layout. It is really a cool feeling knowing that Jon Hodgson is illustrating your adventure!

Very nice cover. Still think the Rivendell one slightly shades it; just because it resonates with me more as a part of the background lore of Rivendell, Arwen, and Aragorn but this is a lovely cover.

Bit nervous now that the book is becoming imminent though; just hope mine and Marco's adventure is well received and people enjoy running and playing it.
