Cubicle 7
Entertainment and Sophisticated Games are proud to announce that
they are jointly developing The One Ring:
The Lord of the Rings® Role-playing Game. “We’re
tremendously excited about The One Ring,” said Dominic
McDowall-Thomas, Cubicle 7 Director. “Our aim is to give our
audience an authentic Middle-earth gaming experience, one that
really captures the feel of Tolkien’s world.” The designer and
lead writer of this project, Francesco Nepitello, is a games
industry veteran, best known for the hugely successful and
critically acclaimed War of the Ring strategy board game,
which he designed with The One Ring co-designer Marco Maggi and
Roberto di Meglio. A recipient of the International Gamers Award, War
of the Ring is recognised by many ‘Lord of the Rings’
enthusiasts and hobby gamers alike as one of the most engaging
recreations of the world-renowned fantasy saga by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Francesco and Marco are the designers of other immersive board
game titles like Marvel Super Heroes and Age of Conan,
but started their game-designing careers creating Lex Arcana,
the most successful and popular fantasy role-playing game
published in Italy. Francesco has
designed the new LOTR RPG game system to make sure that players
are completely immersed in Middle-earth from the moment they begin
creating their characters. As an experienced designer of games
based on JRR Tolkien, as well as being a lifelong devotee of the
Tolkien works, Francesco brings a dimension -and a depth- to this
RPG which has probably never been seen before in a LOTR game. Robert Hyde, head
of Cambridge (UK) based Sophisticated Games said, “When we first
acquired the rights from Tolkien Enterprises to publish this RPG -
as part of our wider LOTR book based board game license- we had no
hesitation in approaching Francesco to conceive a completely fresh
LOTR and The Hobbit RPG, and for him to be the writer. We knew
that he possessed both these skills and that the game would be in
very safe hands. His presentation of Middle-earth, along with
stunning artwork from John Howe and others, brings this incredibly
evocative and exciting world to life.” “We also
approached Cubicle 7 to be our publishing partners on the new The
One Ring RPG because we loved the quality of their previous
publications and felt that Dominic and Angus (Abranson) had both
the experience, and with the creation of Cubicle 7, the role
playing game resources, to bring LOTR and The Hobbit to a very
wide audience.” For more
