The One Ring 2nd ed. - Basic book

Three Rings for the Elven Kings under heaven. Seven for the Dwarf Lords in stone palaces. Nine for the mortal men doomed to die. One for the Dark Lord, upon the dark throne in the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. A ring to govern them all. One Ring to find them, one Ring to draw them all and bind them in the darkness in the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Enter the world of Middle-earth with The One Ring™, the official tabletop role-playing game based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Specifically designed to evoke the atmosphere of The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™, the game contains rules to create heroes and send them on adventures in a land threatened by the growing Shadow.

This beautifully illustrated, full-color hardcover manual presents Middle-earth as it was twenty years after the remarkable disappearance and unexpected return of Bilbo Baggins. There are still fifty years to go before the great events narrated in The Lord of the Rings™ take place, which leaves plenty of room for telling stories worthy of an epic.

Now in its second edition, The One Ring™ arrives with updated and revised rules, a new visual style, and a spotlight on Eriador, the Lonely Lands west of the Misty Mountains. Among its main features are:

    Rules for traveling through territory (journeys), facing fearsome enemies (combats), and meeting the personalities of Middle-earth (councils).
    Numerous tips for the Loremaster on bringing Middle-earth to life, including rules for magical treasures, the Shadow, and the Eye of Mordor.
    Detailed information on six patrons; people who sponsor the adventures of the player heroes, including Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey.
    A bestiary containing a wide variety of adversaries, from petty orc soldiers and highwaymen to monstrous cave trolls and wights.
    Rules to create your own nameless creatures, unknown beings from the darkest corners of the world.
    A complete adventure location: The Star of the Mist, with additional information for new Loremasters in the form of tutorials.
