The crowdfunding campaign for The One Ring’s latest expansion, Moria: Through The Doors Of Durin, wrapped up last September with an impressive haul. Over one million dollars was raised for the expansion and sixteen stretch goals were met. But if you missed all that, publisher Free League has decided to give you a second chance. They’ve opened a page for late pledgers to secure what will be the last time campaign-exclusive items are offered. For long ages, the great city of the Dwarrowdelf was the seat of Dwarven kings, and they were rich beyond measure in gold and Mithril. But a thousand years ago, Durin’s Bane arose and drove the Dwarves from their halls. The city fell into darkness, becoming an abode of Orcs, Goblins – and worse. Countless Orcs perished in the Battle of Five Armies. Maybe the Halls of Durin lie empty once more. Maybe there are piles of treasure there, waiting to be claimed. Maybe Mithril still glimmers in the mines under Caradhras. Cross the dread threshold,

Free League’s tabletop RPG The One Ring, brings JRR Tolkien’s intricately designed world to your living room — or basement, or back area of a hobby shop or wherever it is you play these things. The company announced the second expansion to the game, Tales From The Lone-Lands, earlier this year. The release date was just revealed today, and it’s in less than a month’s time. Now they had gone on far into the Lone-lands, where there were no people left, no inns, and the roads grew steadily worse. Not far ahead were dreary hills, rising higher and higher, dark with trees. On some of them were old castles with an evil look, as if they had been built by wicked people. Everything you need will be contained in an illustrated hardback with the material for six new adventures. They’re malleable enough to be played individually, or as chapters of a larger story. Here are some of the voyages possible: A Troll-Hole, If Ever There Was One and Kings of

Most tabletop games are multiplayer affairs, but a solitary RPG experience can be done, if the manufacturer wills it. Free League’s The One Ring, one of their most popular products, now has a means of doing just that. It’s called Strider Mode, and it’s just been added to the digital version of the game. Designed by Shawn Tomkin (Ironsworn, Starforged) and Matt Click (Ironsworn: Delve, Mecha Hack), The One Ring Strider Mode modifies the rules and establishes additional guides to make venturing across Middle-Earth on your own possible. “The mode also includes guidelines for solo players and a selection of random, but thematic, tables to help incite and inspire your solitary wanderings,” says Free League. “Wonderous adventures awaits in the world of The Lord of the Rings.” The current new edition of The One Ring, created by game designer Francesco Nepitello, comes in a new hardbound volume containing a set of updated and streamlined rules based on player feedback over the years. The look of the game has been redesigned

One year ago, Free League Publishing announced a revised version of their The One Ring tabletop roleplaying game. Based on the Lord of the Rings world, the game was first introduced in 2011 and quickly became a staple of the RPG quester’s library. The revision was announced alongside the launch of a crowdfunding campaign…a massively successful one. The Kickstarter ended up raking in over two million dollars, setting a record for the highest-earning tabletop RPG in the history of the site. The demand was clearly larger than just one crowdfund could contain…which is why it’s a good thing The One Ring can be found in regular stores as of now. The new edition of The One Ring, created by game designer Francesco Nepitello, comes in a new hardbound volume containing a set of updated and streamlined rules based on player feedback over the years. The look of the game has been redesigned as well. A set of updated and streamlined rules, developed thanks to years of players’ feedback and raising
