Adventure
The Conspiracy of the Red Box

The One Ring opens up RPG game play within the world of Middle-earth. The default timeline starts 20 years after Bilbo Baggin’s return to Bag End and 50 years before Frodo departs on his adventure.

The system is designed to emphasize narration of epic stories shifting between rapid action sequences, slow overland travel, and incorporates the passing of seasons and events occurring throughout the world.

The Conspiracy of the Red Box

This is a 5-part starting adventure provided in the Starter Set box that takes a group of Hobbits out of their doors and slowly opens the door from casual exploration to a real adventure worth of tales.
