Feb 12 2021

The One Ring is back with a new publisher and a new edition–Fria Ligan, makers of Alien and Tales from the Loop delve into Middle Earth with One Ring 2E.

You might recall a few months back when Cubicle 7 announced, suddenly, that they no longer had the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit license, and were putting a hold on their Adventures in Middle Earth as well as their plans for a new edition of The One Ring, a 2011 RPG set, as you might imagine, squarely in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth. Yesterday Fria Ligan announced their take on The One Ring, with a Kickstarter that’s already raised more than $600,000 in its first day alone. Suffice it to say, people are excited for this one. Check it out below.

The One Ring™ is a roleplaying game based on The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™, two extraordinary works of fiction by the beloved author and respected academic, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, published in partnership with Sophisticated Games.

First released in 2011, its award-winning design was hailed as the best attempt at bringing Middle-earth to the gaming table to date, thanks to its thematic rules and painstaking attention to detail. For 10 years, players of the game have traveled far and wide across Middle-earth, adventuring for multiple decades of game time.

Today, it is time for the game to enter a new era – this new edition of The One Ring brings players further into the Twilight of the Third Age with a new hardbound volume, presenting:

  • A set of updated and streamlined rules, developed thanks to years of players’ feedback and raising the game to the standards of quality that have made Free League so popular.
  •  A new setting to experience – the Lone-lands of Eriador in the year is 2965 of the Third Age. This is a vast land that once saw the glory of the North Kingdom of the Dúnedain.
  •  A complete visual redesign of art and graphics, offering a view of Middle-earth that is fresh and familiar at the same time.

Back the One Ring 2E today

Happy Adventuring!
