Curious about fantasy adventures outside of 5th Edition? The new One Ring 2E Bundle of Holding is the perfect place to start.

Has 5th Edition fantasy lost a little of its luster? Curious about the paths you might tread beyond the bounds of the d20? There are plenty of options out there, from acid fantasy to adventures reimagined. But why not go back to where it all began, in the realm of Middle-Earth?

The new One Ring 2E Bundle of Holding is the perfect starter collection for the acclaimed RPG. Full of hobbits and elves and a looming Shadow, this specific Bundle of Holding is all about getting started with the game. To wit, it includes the One Ring 2E starter set and a number of other resources for new players.

And, as is typically the case with these, every purchase benefits a charity, in this case, Direct Relief. Direct Relief sends protective equipment and critical care medications to health workers around the world (though primarily in the US and Canada).

One Ring 2E Bundle Of Holding – $12.95

In this Bundle of Holding, you get everything you need to start playing the game. You’ll find .PDF ebooks of The One Ring Starter Set, the Loremaster’s Screen, Rivendell Compendium, and Strider Mode. Each of these expansions layers in a little something extra.

As the name implies, The One Ring Starter Set has the streamlined, ready-to-play rules of The One Ring 2E. Along with the streamlined rules, you also get a gazetteer of the Shire, eight pre-generated characters, and a 31-page volume of introductory adventures ready to help you explore the world.

The Loremaster’s Screen is a GM’s screen with pertinent game info. Which is handy but is honestly the least exciting part of the Bundle. More exciting is the Rivendell Compendium, which introduces the Last Homely House. Alongside a map of the valley and Elrond’s house, you get rules for High Elf player-heroes as well as Hugo Weaving himself as a new patron for your players.

Finally Strider Mode, the solo expansion for The One Ring. This book is designed to let you play The One Ring with no one else at your table. If you prefer to keep to yourself, and that folks not know what your right name is, Strider Mode is a great way to play. Solo mode is a great way to learn the game, too, if you’re hoping to teach your friends. And what’s more, this version is designed by Shawn Tomkin, designer of Ironsworn and Ironsworn: Starforged, which are some of the best solo RPGs out there right now.

All these can be yours for a mere $12.95. There are 20 days left in the One Ring 2E Bundle of Holding. So get in there while the getting is good.

The road goes ever on and on…
