-We've just finished playing **The One Ring RPG** by Cubicle Seven, a game set in Tolkien's Middle Earth just after the time of //The Hobbit//. Similar in some ways to _Pendragon_, the game follows a timeline that mirrors the events between //The Hobbit// and //Lord of the Rings//, with an adventure or two happening each year. We've only played through a few years of the campaign, but enough to have heard rumours of something bad returning to Mordor. Given that the period is about 70 years, I don't know whether the game covers starting a family and raising a new generation of adventurers as Pendragon does (my character had her eye on Beorn though, just in case).

 The game system itself is relatively simple: You roll a d12 (with a special effect on 11 or 12) plus a d6 for each level you have in the skill. We found that this tended to make the results quite random, though you can spend points (Hope) to boost your roll afterwards. Since the average difficulty is 14, you need at least 3 in a skill to have much chance of success.
