The One Ring Roleplaying Game (first released in 2011 under the title The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild) is a tabletop role-playing game published by Cubicle 7. It is set in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, in the time between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Since its release, a number of other materials have been published, with more on the way.
The game was first published in 2011 under the title The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild. This first edition core book (more exactly two booklets in a cardboard case) and the majority of subsequent products supported play in the portion of the region of Rhovanion known as "The Wild", the setting of the later portions of The Hobbit east of the Misty Mountains. That was due to the project (nowadays abandoned) of releasing two other up-coming core books dealing with other regions, countries and kingdoms of Middle-earth, but instead of pursuing the idea of releasing two more core books, a revised edition was released in Summer 2014, which saw the original two-volume slipcase set combined into a single hardback edition. This version was substantially re-edited and re-laid out, with errata and clarifications added. Cubicle 7 also released a Clarifications and Amendments Document at the same time, to support owners of the previous edition. The name was changed from The One Ring: Adventures Over the Edge of the Wild to The One Ring Roleplaying Game.
The supplement Rivendell expands the original territory described in the first edition to the eastern portions of Eriador, the setting of The Fellowship of the Ring, and "covering not only Rivendell itself, but Angmar, Fornost, Mount Gram, Tharbad and everywhere in between." Future supplements have been announced that will also open up Rohan as an area to explore.
The base game and some of the supplements have also been released in French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Games of The One Ring are split into two phases: the Adventuring phase and the Fellowship phase. In an Adventuring phase, a company of adventurers heads off from their homes and into the Wild, in search of adventure; whereas the Fellowship phase provides heroes with the opportunity to rest and recuperate, to practise their skills or pursue a noble undertaking.
