The One Ring Roleplaying Game

We're going to take a look at an old Sly Flourish Patreon adventure, Regnum Ratus, The Rats in the Cellar.

One Ring and Lord of the Rings 5.5 is available on Backerkit.

We're going to talk about this Backerkit campaign and decide whether or not it's the right campaign for you.

There is a huge sale going on at Modiphius where you can get books for like under $10, hardcover books for under $10.

And I think that, um, it's going to be a really good book that helps a lot of people in a lot of ways.

So I'm very excited for it.

In RPG news, uh, the one ring and Lord of the Rings five E, uh, for has a new, so free league publishing has a new backer kit for the one ring and, uh, Lord of the Rings five E, uh, These are new revisions of both books, along with some new books that are coming out.

The White Tower and the Hall of Gold, New Bestiary, Creatures Strange and Foul, and Updated Rules.

You know, I'll play them.

do i get excited about them no did i play them and go yeah that was a football game yeah so it's it's uh it's a similar thing um the one ring rpg crowdfunding smashes its targets within hours uh the crowdfunding campaign for the lord of the rings tabletop game the one ring has raised more than two million dollars for exceeding The modest $50,000 target publisher Free League launched the campaign to fund a revised rulebook alongside the bestiary and campaign expansion set in Rohan and Gondor.

The publisher has also introduced stretch goals after backers surpassed its original plans within hours.

I mean, I'm not that surprised.

Yeah.

Now, I don't know whether Alf and Frederico from, um, of the One Ring fame, he, he had, did have a job there as a sort of creative director or something for a time.

Mm.

Uh, I don't know that he still does.

Nice.

Yeah.

And also the, um, the new starter set for, for The One Ring was, uh-

Yeah

We're back today.

We are playing more of the One Ring second edition from Free League.

And we're down one member of our fellowship, but it makes sense.

No one really liked her to begin with.

oh you you probably would have hurt yourself there are some funny moments on your face or something yeah yeah it's a good thing uh safety first Uh, okay.

Anyhow, uh, we're not here to talk about we're in danger.

We're here to talk about the one ring and your fellowship phase.

So, uh, just a quick summary.

A glint of light off the point of his arrow, a pinprick of light into the oncoming darkness, swallowed in a screech, and the drums of war played on the tree of woe.

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the One Ring Second Edition Strider Mode here on the Rainy Plays Games podcast.

It is solo September and that means we're going to try and fit in as many solo games as we can here on this podcast feed.

I have ideas.

We'll see how this episode goes as far as whether or not this is going to be the finale.

of the One Ring series? I don't know yet.

We'll see.

And even if it isn't and we play another one in week three, I've got a bonus episode this month, so there will be a fifth episode.

And I'm going to tell you that I don't always know all the rules.

And we're playing the one ring.

Oh,

yeah.

They're like, well, because the rules don't explicitly state you're going to get shut off for doing this.

They say, well, you get shut off for doing these kind of things, right? Shooting somebody in the back if they're running away.

uh killing a captured tied up bow okay and stuff like that this isn't the one ring but interrogating it doesn't talk about interrogating and then the idea that well Can

you lie to somebody you're interrogating? Police do that all the time.
