The One Ring™ Starter Set

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A strange invitation from Bilbo Baggins, mentioning that he’s in need of help. Most odd! But then again, a great many things about that particular Hobbit have been odd ever since that business with the Dragon. Nothing wrong with taking a stroll and helping old Bilbo out I suppose. After all, it's not like there's any real dangers to worry about here in the Shire...

The One Ring™ Starter Set contains all you need to take your first step into Middle-earth and experience the adventures Hobbits get up to. With streamlined rules and ready made characters, it is easy to quickly sit down and actually play the game. The One Ring is set between the time Bilbo went on his journey and the events in The Lord of the Rings™, allowing you to explore the Shire by taking on the roles of those same Hobbits whose children will go on to do extraordinary things, such as Drogo Baggins, Rory Brandybuck and Esmeralda Took. Besides the Rules and The Adventures, there’s a full compendium covering the four Farthings of the Shire, all the way from Greenholm and the White Downs in the west to Buckland and the Old Forest in the east. This boxed set contains:

  • A 24-page volume of Rules 

  • A 52-page volume describing The Shire

  • A 31-page volume containing The Adventures

  • Eight double-sided pre-generated character sheets

  • Two large maps showing the Shire and Eriador

  • 30 Wargear Cards that can also be used with The One Ring core rules

  • Six double-sided Journey Role and Combat Stance Cards that can also be used with The One Ring core rules

Comparing the Rules files, it looks like _2202 are the updated versions - for example on page 23 there is an addition: "(adversaries use their Attribute Level instead)".

Well, those are two different answers to two different questions:

1. Q. Is Starter Box enough to play Strider Mode?

1. A. No, you need more rules for a complete experience, especially character creation.

2. Q. Is Starter Box compatible with Strider Mode?

2. A. Totally compatible. In fact, if you want to play Strider Mode in the Shire I will say that is is required. Not because of the starter set of adventures, but because of the Shire sourcebook and map, they offer great material, descriptions, history and adventure hooks to play Strider Mode for a lot of time.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
