The One Ring - Roleplaying in Middle Earth

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.
