New Version of ‘The One Ring’ RPG Coming Soon!
Monday, May 19th, 2014
According to hobby industry news website ICv2.com, Cubicle 7 has shared more information on its planned release of the revised one-volume rulebook for its Lord of the Rings-based RPG The One Ring Role-playing Game, announced for summer release.
The new, revised edition of The One Ring Role-playing Game rulebook features a new cover by Jon Hodgson. The hardcover volume will be 320 pages, and includes new layout, which integrates both the Adventurer’s Guide and the Loremaster’s Guide into a single volume. The book has been re-edited and reformatted for clarity, and includes updated rules that incorporate previous supplementary rules, as well as rule changes based on fan feedback.
The One Ring is a role-playing game based on The Lord of the Rings—the most influential property in fantasy. It’s set after the events of The Hobbit; the initial game is set the region of northern Mirkwood and environs, with future releases expanding the scope of the setting to encompass more of Middle-earth as the era moves closer to the looming War of the Ring.
Chock full of incredible artwork by leading Tolkien artists, including John Howe, along with rich and detailed background information, The One Ring’s game engine focuses on the themes and character types that give Middle-earth its unique place in the annals of fantasy. There has never been a Lord of the Rings game that’s more evocative of Tolkien’s unique vision.

Fantasy Flight Games Announces ‘Dark Heresy 2nd Edition’
Monday, May 5th, 2014
Fantasy Flight Games has released more details about the upcoming release of Dark Heresy Second Edition. This updated version of its rolep-laying game set in the grim dystopian future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe is scheduled to release in the third quarter of 2014.
Like the previous edition, this new version casts the players in the role of “acolytes” who serve a mysterious and powerful Inquisitor. The acolytes are tasked with uncovering and investigating plots in a secret war against the Imperium. The Second Edition introduces a new sector of the Imperium, called the “Askellon Sector,” providing an entirely new area of mystery and conspiracy for fans of the game as well as continuing to flesh out the ever-growing Warhammer 40,000 setting.
The 448-page, full-color hardcover rulebook includes complete rules for stand-alone adventures and on-going campaigns, a short introductory story written by Dan Abnett (Guant’s Ghost series), background information about the Askellon Sector and the Imperium of Man, and an introductory adventure, Dark Pursuits.
The new edition was developed based on feedback from the earlier edition’s thousands of fans, including a public beta program run by Fantasy Flight in 2013. Rules changes include new player classes, integrated vehicle combat rules, a streamlined character creation system, and an NPC “threat rating” system to help gamemasters design encounters.
Dark Heresy Second Edition will be supported by the release of a Dark Heresy Second Edition Game Master’s Kit, also scheduled to release in the third quarter with a suggested retail price of $24.95.
