The One Ring – forthcoming covers
You could be forgiven for thinking, amidst all this Doctor Who madness, that we had forgotten about The One Ring. Nothing could be further from the truth. Work continues every day on new One Ring products, several of which are yet to be announced. We're committed to maintaining the high standards of the line to date and to bringing you the very best in Middle-earth gaming.
With that in mind we're most happy to unveil the covers to The Heart of the Wild and Darkening of Mirkwood, the next two supplements to be released. The Heart of the Wild covers Mirkwood and the Vales of Anduin, providing Loremasters with all the information they could need on this rich area for adventure. The Darkening of Mirkwood is the much anticipated 30 year campaign that follows events in Mirkwood as the Shadow reclaims to his fortress at Dol Guldur.
Both books are penned by Gareth Ryder Hanrahan, with Francesco Nepitello and covers are by One Ring artist Jon Hodgson.
Here they are without trade dress, in full wraparound glory:
We'll bring you firm release dates for these two books as soon as we have them.

Gamers talk about The One Ring
The ENnies 2012
It's been a jetlag whirlwind since we got back, but we have been remiss in not updating everyone about our night at the ENnie Awards at GenCon 2012. The ENnie awards are arguably the biggest awards given in roleplaying games. They comprise a series of stages, with games submitted to a panel of judges who themselves have been selected by a public vote. The judges make their selections from the submitted games, which are then put to the public vote. Competition is always fierce, and voting is carried out on line, ensuring a wide and deep body of voters. Suffice to say the ENnies are a big deal.
Cubicle 7 were nominated in 5 categories, and we picked up 4 awards.
The One Ring won Cubicle 7's first Gold ENnie for internal Art, and a Silver ENnie for production values.
Words of the Wise won Silver for Best Free Product.
Shadows over Scotland won C7's second ever Gold ENnie for Best Setting.
We were incredibly honoured by these awards, and they mean a huge amount to everyone working on our books. It's been a year filled with challenges, and we're a small company punching way above our weight, so a huge thank you to the judges and everyone who took the time to vote.
