The One Ring RPG: Ruins of the North Preview Can't Post

UK game publisher Cubicle 7 is previewing the upcoming Ruins of the North, an adventure anthology for The One Ring Roleplaying Game. Read part 1 of the preview here.



"The Great Scaly One protects us from alien invaders and ourselves with his fiery atomic love. It can be a tough love - the “folly of man” and all that - but Godzilla is a fair god.

"Godzilla is totally accepting of all people and faiths. For it is written that liberal or conservative, Christian or Muslim or Jew, straight or gay, all people sound pretty much the identical as they are crushed beneath his mighty feet."
- Tony Isabella, The First Church of Godzilla (Reform)

Ruins of the North - Preview 2 [In reply to] Can't Post

Cubicle 7 provides a second look at Ruins of the North, its upcoming adventure campaign set in eastern Eriador for The One Ring Roleplaying Game.


Quote

Whereas our first adventure anthology, Tales from Wilderland, was designed for a novice company of adventurers, the adventures found in Ruins of the North are a different kettle of fish. While the first five adventurers can be tackled by a group of relatively inexperienced adventurers, the final adventure poses a much greater challenge.
None are recommended for novice heroes though; the company really should have played through a few adventures first, such as those in Tales from Wilderland or even The Darkening of Mirkwood. As such Ruins of the North is the logical next step for a company looking for more adventure in the lands west of the Misty Mountains – especially as the first adventure, Nightmares of Angmar, offers a way of bringing the heroes into Eriador and exploring the ruins of the north.

Ruins of the North - Preview 3 [In reply to] Can't Post

This preview focuses on Jon Hodgson's full, wrap-around artwork for the cover of Ruins of the North. I don't know how to reduce the size of the image, so I will just provide a link.

The artist shared a few words about the painting:

Quote

The cover for Ruins of the North was a real treat to paint. The basic idea was a simple one – a company of our iconic player-heroes exploring one of the titular ruins of the North. Sometimes you want the cover to directly reflect what’s inside. Other times you might just tease at the contents.
We decided to echo the ruins of the South detailed in The Lord of the Rings with the fallen head of a statue. Fallen grandeur is one of the key themes within The Lord of the Rings, and that’s very strongly felt in Ruins of the North, and indeed Arnor itself, with its proliferation of spirits and abandoned places.
In this image it also provides a distraction from what we see if we turn the cover over – some rather nasty-looking eyes and hands emerging from the entrance on the back cover. Frida (the woman of Lake-town in the foreground) knows the score though.”
