Adventures in Middle-earth™ is our brand new range of setting supplements for Middle-earth gaming using the OGL.

Cubicle 7 and Sophisticated Games achieved huge success and numerous awards with our The One Ring™ Middle-earth Roleplaying Game. Renowned for evocative rules and high production values, it is one of our most popular games.

Dominic Mcdowall, Cubicle 7 CEO:
"When the OGL was announced for 5th Edition, we knew we had to embark on a new quest. We have so much incredible material for The One Ring, and have answered so many of the questions posed by how to make a superlative, highly playable game set in Middle-earth, that we want to share with an even wider audience.

So it was that Adventures in Middle-earth™ was born: 5th Edition OGL rules, Middle-earth setting. For the first time in roleplaying history these two greats are coming together, and we're immensely proud to be the ones to do it.

The first release will be Adventures in Middle-earth Player's Guide, which will be available in print in the Autumn. As usual, the PDF will be available much sooner, and we'll have some preview copies of the game to peruse at GenCon."

Seems like a port of The One Ring into D&D land.

As far as The One Ring goes, C7 had this to say on FB:

We have no plans to cut back TOR whatsoever. It's one of our most successful game lines. We've released more supplements for it in 2016 than we did in all of 2015, with more to come. Including unannounced titles.

I have no real interest in this particular product but The One Ring is my favourite RPG so I'm glad it still has a future.

Same here, except TOR is not my all-time favorite ... but I don't think D&D suits Middle-earth. This product seems unnecessary in a sense (it ports in TOR mechanics) but I can see why they would want to crack the D&D market of course.
