Welcome friends to our Middle-earth campaign setting. It is the year 2946 of the Third Age and the Shadow is returning. Five years ago, an alliance of Elves, Men, and Dwarves defeated a horde of Orcs and Wild Wolves, under a sky darkened by Giant Bats, inaugurating a new era of prosperity for the Free Peoples. But five years is a long time for peace to last, and in many dark corners of the earth a shadow is lengthening once again.

Rumors of strange things happening outside the borders of civilized lands are spreading with increasing regularity and, while they are dismissed by most as fireside-tales and children’s stories, they sometimes reach the ears of individuals who recognize the sinister truth they hide.

These are restless warriors, curious scholars and rangers, always eager to seek what was lost or explore what was forgotten. Ordinary people call them adventurers and, when they prevail, they hail them as heroes. But if they fail, no one will even remember their names.

« The One Ring »

The One Ring RPG is a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) that immerses players in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, focusing on the "journey" aspect of adventuring. The game is known for its rules that emphasize the atmosphere of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its dice mechanic (a d12 and d6s), and its focus on travel, camaraderie, and the growing threat of the "Shadow". The official, 1st edition of The One Ring is set in the year 2947 of the Third Age.

• Focus on Journeys: The game is structured around two main phases: plotting and undertaking journeys, and the adventure phase, which could involve exploring ruins or fighting enemies
• Dice Mechanic: Players roll a d12 as their base die and add d6s, which are "success dice" that add to the total. A roll of 12 on the d12 is a critical success, while an 11 is a critical failure.
• Atmosphere: The game is designed to capture the tone and feel of Tolkien's works, with a focus on the incredible beauty and danger of Middle-earth.
• Character Development: Characters have unique "Callings" that define their purpose. Advancement involves gaining skill points to improve abilities and earning ranks in "Valor" or "Wisdom".
• The Shadow: A key game mechanic, "Shadow points," are accumulated when heroes perform morally questionable or terrifying actions. Too many Shadow points can lead to negative conditions or even madness.
• A Different Kind of Power: Unlike many of the other TTRPGs, The One Ring doesn't focus on massive power increases through HP. Instead, it emphasizes on skill development, cultural background, and the gradual accumulation of experience.
