The One Ring inscription (Part 2)
Image 1 shows the second One Ring inscription Tolkien sent to the printer. But he was still unhappy with it. So he asked to send another one.
Image 2 shows the well know inscription as printed in books. The original art sent by Tolkien to the printer is lost.
The inadvertently changed tengwa is circled in blue. Tolkien became later aware of his mistake (before publication) but accepted it.
The One Ring inscription (Part 1)
The inscription on the One Ring is perhaps the best-known piece of Tengwar art (along with the Doors of Moria) that Tolkien conceived, but did you know that he made a mistake in trying to find a better style of calligraphy for it after sending it to the printer and being urged by everyone to finish the job?
_look for part 2_
"One ring to rule them all"
Retour sur ma toute première encre, réalisée à l'occasion du challenge inktober de 2019. Je crois que le thème était tout simplement "ring" alors autant vous dire que la fan de Tolkien que je suis n'a pas cherché longtemps quoi dessiner!
#ttrpg Fantastic birthday ttrpg road trip yesterday from West Michigan to NW Chicago suburbs for a trip to Games Plus in Mt. Prospect and the perfect Guatemalan restaurant and tienda.
Found a hard copy of #Hillfolk for its #dramasystem ruleset.
Caught up with #onering Middle Earth books including the new Moria tome.
Grabbed a basic #mothership scenario in advance of my deluxe kit arrival.
Grabbed Chicagoland's own Amanda Lee Franck's 'You Got a Job on the Garbage Barge' #indiettrpg &

Just finished listening to the BBC 1968 radio play adaptation of #TheHobbit.
The #OneRing sure does a great job of not attracting immediate concern by #Gandalf or #Elrond or any Elves skilled in magic as Bilbo carries it in close proximity to them.
No feeling a #DisturbanceInTheForce here Luke.
I liked this adaptation. #JimMoriarty didn't overdo the character he played. (Gandalf)
Younger listeners can hopefully adapt to the absences of car-chases and dwarf/elf romance.
I think my “bucket list” of grand campaigns I want to run someday are:
Red Cow — Glorantha
Great Pendragon Campaign — Pendragon
Darkening of Mirkwood — One Ring
Ones I’ve already done and would recommend:
Modron March / Infinite Staircase / Dead Gods — Planescape
Masks of Nyarlathotep — Dark Heresy
Enemy Within — Warhammer Fantasy
Občas si říkám, že pozitivní dojem z tohohle zážitku v mém životě už asi nic netrumfne... Ale pořád tomu dávám šanci, že bude něco dalšího...

Apple said to be developing a smart ring to battle Samsung. Who will hold the One Ring?
The smart ring isn't a new thing, it has been around for a few years, but since Samsung announced its ring, Apple is said to be developing one of its own. Who will hold the One Ring?

My kids tried to watch the first episode of lord of the rings… Set them straight with an unexpected journey. #RookieMistake #StartAtTheBeginning #OneRing #LOTR #StingWasTheStar
My gaming 2024 session 0 is a fortnight away. I'm still torn between kicking it off with #OneRing or #SLAIndustries. Both already have #Roll20 campaigns set up, and hopefully, by tomorrow, I'll decide.
Hey liebe #pnpde Community es ist ja die Zeit der guten Vorsätze, was gabt ihr euch so vorgenommen nächstes Jahr zu spielen/leiten?
Dies wären die Dinge die ich auf jeden Fall leiten möchte.
I need to learn to never skip arm day. Even when I'm a hobbit...

Today at 1pm EST! One Golden Ring, a The One Ring holiday themed one-shot via Girls Run These Worlds.
Getting my winter-y hobbit on.
Okay, after character creation we ended up with:
Dwarf Captain (Guide)
Beorning Champion (Hunter)
Hobbit Treasure Hunter (Scout)
Mirkwood Elf Warden (Look out)
And more importantly, they picked their patron: Radagast the Brown.
I’m doing a Darkening of Mirkwood based campaign.
Sounds like my One Ring party will tentatively be:
Boerning Champion
Hobbit Messenger
Barding Treasure Hunter
Mirkwood Elf Warden
Now they just need to pick a patron.
I’m doing a One Ring Session Zero with my group on Tuesday, and other than character sheets, print out of extra cultures, and list of potential patrons, I’m not sure what else I should prep.
I’m very curious what characters we end up with, and what patron they select.
