The One Ring is broken into two macro-phases: the adventure phase and the fellowship phase. Having a closer companion allows for better assistance bonuses but can also give you shadow points as they are wounded, dragging you down the shadow path of your calling. Your rating is a pool of points the company can use to recover hope while adventuring and your focus is your “best friend” in the company. The last steps of setting up your company is a fellowship rating and fellowship focus. You can also set up your base of operations for your company. Not only is this a story hook but it also gives certain bonus stats. You get to select a Patron who could be an influential individual that can support and counsel your company while it goes on its adventures. This is basically your fellowship’s stats being fleshed out.

When characters receive rewards, they can get Rewards (which upgrade gear) or Virtues (which upgrade their character stats).Īnother section that sets The One Ring apart is setting up a Company. Character creation can be a lot of fun with unique combinations that can lead to some dynamic roleplay at the table. While your calling dictates your favored skills and features but also your Shadow Path which is the tendencies you begin to gain if you fail to resist the Shadow’s influence. Your culture will dictate your attributes, skills, and proficiencies. Some of the callings in The One Ring are Scholar, Champion, Treasure Hunter, and Warden. Callings are like classes in other RPG games. Heroic cultures consist of Bardings, Dwarves of Durin’s Folk, Elves of Lindon, Hobbits of the Shire, Men of Bree, and Rangers of the North. There are a handful of choices in the game for players to choose a heroic culture and a calling. While you won’t be immediately fighting against the hordes of Mordor, the tentative, almost mystical environment in the wilds is extremely atmospheric while adventuring, and not knowing what is around every corner makes player planning a major part of the game.Īs with most pen and paper RPGs, you will need a player to run the game (the Loremaster) and each other payer will create a hero from Middle Earth. Mainly the adventures will take place in Eriador during this time. The time-period of The One Ring is set in the 80 years between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. For my review I want to focus on the mechanics that are different and my experience playing through one of the starting scenarios as a character player.

I have a bit of experience with different RPG systems and had even played the Alien RPG by Free League as well, so reading through and playing a quick game of One Ring was interesting. So, I was excited to read and get a chance to play The One Ring RPG from Free League.
