The One Ring (Roleplaying Game)

The One Ring is a Role Playing Game published by Cubicle 7 in 2011, a revised addition released in 2014.

The game is set in the period between the The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and is set mainly across the region of Rhovanion however the territory has been extended east across the Misty Mountains through the additions of current and upcoming expansions.

Game Mechanics
Games of The One Ring are split into two phases: the Adventuring phase and the Fellowship phase. In an Adventuring phase, a company of adventurers heads off from their homes and into the Wild, in search of adventure;whereas the Fellowship phase provides heroes with the opportunity to rest and recuperate, to practise their skills or pursue a noble undertaking.

The One Ring Roleplaying Game uses a special set of dice: the twelve-sided Feat die, which is marked with numbers 1-10, as well as two special symbols, Gandalf’s rune and the Eye of Sauron, and a six-sided Success die, which is numbered 1-6, with a Tengwar rune on the 6. You can also use a regular d12 and some d6s.

When you make a roll, you roll the Feat die plus a number of Success dice equal to the skill you’re using, add up all the numbers shown and compare it to the Target Number of the action (typically 14).
