One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all,
and in the darkness bind them!
I wish there was only one Middle-Earth game to bind all the players together, but over the past 40 years of LotR RPGs, there's a few more than that. This episode breaks down the gaming (and legal!) history of Tolkien's greatest works. From M.E.R.P. to the One Ring and everything in between.
