The land of Yar-Ammon is old -- and even older are its gods. In the desert city of Khadis, a colossal faceless sphinx broods over empty altars and forbidden secrets. Hungry beasts gather ever closer to the city gates, while strange plots are afoot in the royal palace. Legacies from the past haunt an old king, and the sinister priests of Zothur watch from the shadows of the throne. Can you unravel the mysteries of accursed Khadis -- and live to tell the tale?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rpgs.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rpg:" title="RPGs    :rpg:" data-shortname=":rpg:" /> <a href="http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/19873.html" target="_blank">The One Ring RPG Details</a> You can find details of Cubicle 7's upcoming LotR RPG at ICv2.

"John Izzard meets with JRR Tolkien at his home, walking with him through the Oxford locations that he loves while hearing the author's own views about his wildly successful high-fantasy novels. Tolkien shares his love of nature and beer and his admiration for 'trenchermen' in this genial and affectionate programme. The brief interviews with Oxford students that are dotted throughout reveal the full range of opinions elicited by 'The Lord of the Rings', from wild enthusiasm to mild contempt." [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR-4vMEiQ_U&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR-4vMEiQ_U&feature=player_embedded[/ame][ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca5TUYB1nlw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca5TUYB1nlw[/ame]</blockquote>
