Systems & Scrolls: The One Ring 2e

Welcome to Systems & Scrolls, our TTRPG Book Club!

What is Systems & Scrolls?

• Systems is Scrolls is our brand new TTRPG System Book Club, where we will (for now) be going over a Tabletop Roleplaying Game System (TTRPG)! This could be Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Shadowrun 5e, Call of Cthulhu, etc!
• This will function similar to a regular book club meeting, where everyone has a certain amount of time to peruse the system before the club meets.
• Since everyone has their own perspective, a book club meeting allows for a healthy flow of insights, in an open and friendly environment.
• For our club, people can openly express their thoughts and broaden their understanding of a particular TTRPG system!
• There will be a short list of questions to help guide our meeting!

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul
Ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

It is the year 2965 of the Third Age and the Shadow is returning. Twenty-four years ago, an alliance of Elves, Men, and Dwarves defeated a horde of Orcs and Wild Wolves, under a sky darkened by Giant Bats, inaugurating a new era of prosperity for the Free Peoples. But twenty years is a long time for peace to last, and in many dark corners of the earth a shadow is lengthening once again.

Rumours of strange things happening outside the borders of civilised lands are spreading with increasing regularity and, while they are dismissed by most as fireside-tales and children’s stories, they sometimes reach the ears of individuals who recognise the sinister truth they hide.

These are restless warriors, curious scholars and wanderers, always eager to seek what was lost or explore what was forgotten. Ordinary people call them adventurers and, when they prevail, they hail them as heroes. But if they fail, no one will even remember their names.
