I’m getting ready to start the spoiler list for The Road Ahead, and it’s about time seeing as how I’m practically through four cultures already.  I’m about to post it up, including the Ring, but I just realized I haven’t spoiled that yet, and people will probably want to review it. So here’s your opportunity.  Enjoy!
•The One Ring, So Small a Thing 
Strength +1
Vitality +1
Response: If the Ring-bearer is about to take a wound, he or she wears The One Ring until the regroup phase.
While wearing The One Ring, the Ring-bearer gains hunter 2, and each time he or she is about to take a wound, add 2 burdens or a burden and a threat instead.
“‘Yet may I not even speak of it? For you seem ever to think only of its power in the hands of the Enemy: of its evil uses not of its good.’”
•The One Ring, Treasured Heirloom
Strength +1
Vitality +1
Resistance +1
Each other companion of the Ring-bearer’s culture is resistance +1.
Maneuver or Skirmish: Add a burden or exert bearer to wear The One Ring until the regroup phase.
While wearing The One Ring, each time the Ring-bearer is about to take a wound, add X burdens instead, where X is the current region number.
“‘But odd things may happen to people that have such treasures....It may have other powers than just making you vanish when you wish to.’” |

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!
Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North! |

Well, it is balanced, considering the Isildur’s Heirloom burden addition (or burden + threat addition). Okay, it’s good.

NICE! That’s one cool ring, Dain! The Age’s End ring should’ve copied the whole "add X burdens" thing for its strength boost. That would’ve been cool. |

This might be a bit much adding 4 strength, hunter, and a vitality bonus. For Frodo, I can’t really imagine wanting to use any other ring, especially as there’s no penalty for putting it on as well. I think taking out the base strength boost would probably make it more balanced, but I have almost no idea - it’s so different to normal rings that I’d need to play it to see how good it is.

I like this one, though. The region thing is very interesting and pretty cool.

I guess... cut the beginning strength bonus to 1 IMHO

This isn’t a review, but I noticed that this card is GREAT with others that prevent wounds such as Salve, On Guard, ect. Why? Because you can choose to wear The One Ring if they’re about to take a wound, and then use Salve to prevent the wound so you don’t have to add 2 burdens (Or a threat and a burden) right? If so, that’d make for a good ring to theme a deck around! |

Wow. I don’t know if the skirmish text would ever be used, becuase by the time the Ring-bearer is about to take a wound (or at least, a wound in a skirmish) the strengths would have already been compared. This needs some sort of action to put it on in a different phase. Perhaps you could lower the strength to +1, and drop the resistance downside. I don’t like Rings with those; even though it makes perfect story-sense, it makes them nigh impossible to use with ARB’s.

This one I like. A lot of decks could use this. It’s very versatile, with the ability to put it on during one of two phases by either an exertion or a burden, but its downside balances it out.  ! |

Nice. I think that maybe you should make it skirmish instead of a response. Otherwise, when do you wear it, once the skirmish is resolved?

This is nice. Kinda shoots itself in the foot in region 3, though, when you’re most likely to need it. |
