Eriador, the lone-lands described in The Lord of the Rings, comes alive as never before in this supplement for The One Ring, the official tabletop roleplaying game based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. A region often described as deserted becomes a crucible for adventure, offering many hours of gameplay.

Review of 'The One Ring: Ruins of the Lost Realm' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This book serves to further flesh out the lands of Eriador described as the default setting in the new 2nd edition core book. The best thing about this book are the three “dark designs” sections, each one offering a timeline of events that will unfold if a sinister faction isn’t stopped by the player characters. Those factions being the Black Numenoreans, the Dunlendings, and Saruman.

These give the GM an ongoing threat that the players have to deal with, and that gives the game a sense of urgency that can otherwise be missing in a game like The One Ring that is structured more around sandbox exploration and seasonal events.
