The One Ring Roleplaying Game

The One Ring -Roleplaying in Middle-Earth is a fantasy roleplaying game set in J.R.R. Tolkien´s fantasy World Arda, on it´s largest continent Middle-Earth.It is published by Cubicle 7 in association with sophisticated games and was released in 2011.Since the Publisher did not get the license to Peter Jackson´s Movie Trilogy nor Tolkien´s works which were release after his death by his son Christopher Tolkien, the game setting is based solely on his works the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Time and Setting

The Game´s background is the setting between the two Books the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, the years between 2942 T.A. and 3001 T.A., in contrast to The Lord of the Rings Role-Playing Game which is set in the time of the war of the ring and the period short after the events, roughly the years 3019 T.A. to 4 F.A., and MERP which is set largely in the years between 1460 T.A. and 1650 T.A. (although a few MERP Modules are set in other times).

The setting of the first Books released for the One Ring, Adventures over the Edge of the Wild and Tales from Wilderland is the Region of Rhovanion, including Mirkwood and the Realm of the Bardings.
