The One Ring 2nd Edition Is Coming!

Major Cubicle 7 announcements seem to be coming in hourly at the moment. If it's not Age of Sigmar, or Warhammer 40K Wrath and Glory, it's.... a 2nd edition of their 2011 Tolkien role-playing game, The One Ring! And this one has "Lord of the Rings" in the title!

​

The new game will be called The One Ring – The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game, and is set 25 years after the defeat of Smaug. It has new art, and new maps, and is back-compatible with The One Ring 1E adventures and material. You can expect to see it in the holiday season of 2019/2020 (well, Q4 2019 - Q1 2020).

The line includes:

• The One Ring – The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying Game: The 352 page core rules featuring stunning new art, maps, rules for character creation, and everything you will need to adventure in the lands of Middle-earth.
• The One Ring – The Lord of the Rings™ Starter Set: Explore the Misty Mountains and reclaim the Horn of the Storm in the perfect introduction to The One Ring Roleplaying Game. This box set includes a 64 page adventure, a 48 page guide to the lands of the Misty Mountains, a set of dice, six pre-generated characters, character handouts, tokens, and more.
• Loremaster’s Screen and Legends of Middle-earth: A beautifully illustrated Loremaster’s Screen along with a 32 page collection of mini adventures that Loremaster’s can drop into their games.
• Fell Foes: A dedicated bestiary containing fell foes and dangerous creatures from all across Middle-earth.
• Minas Tirith – The Tower of Guard: A guide to the city of Minas Tirith and its surrounding lands.
• The Errantries of the King: A campaign adventure set in Gondor. Written by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, author of The Darkening of Mirkwood.
• Moria – The Long Dark: Explore Khazad-dûm deep beneath the Misty Mountains in this long awaited adventure for The One Ring – The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying Game.

I'm confused... so Moria is part of the second edition and no longer a KS project?

It doesn’t say one way or the other about how these things will be released.

Looks like it - also what does this mean for the 5e stuff I wonder. Either way, Cubicle 7 always delivers on expectations if not schedules so I'm stoked.

If you read between the lines, there’s probably some hints about what will be next for Adventures in Middle-earth there as well. Not to mention the already announced Erebor Adventures, Rohan Region Guide and Riddermark Adventures.

In this thread at RPG Geek-- https://rpggeek.com/thread/2204543/cubicle-7-announces-one-ring-second-edition--they confirm that this is the same product, delayed to update it to 2nd edition. They don't indicate if it's still going to be a Kickstarter project or not, though.

Why do we need a new edition of a perfectly good game?

 

[LuisCarlos17f]

Any time have you imagined how would a canon sequel, "the new shadow"?

I hope the screen has better art than that snooze fest of Laketown. It was well done, but of all the stunning vistas to capture that one is a head scratcher.

Interesting news.

Looking forward to seeing the AiME Moria set whenever that happens.

Well that's ... annoying. Was looking forward to Moria; I've collected the entire line to date. Now to reboot with a new edition.
