More about The One Ring second edition core rulebook

The One Ring second edition core rulebook is designed to evoke the atmosphere of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. First, it gives players a grounded way to create heroes shaped by courage, fellowship and hardship. Also, it gives Loremasters tools for building journeys through wild lands, tense social encounters and moments where the Shadow presses against hope.

Because this is the core rulebook, it works well as the main purchase for new groups, existing Tolkien fans and roleplayers who want a campaign focused on travel, danger, wonder and the cost of resisting evil.
