A new year has dawned and has brought many new articles to the community. On top of it all, a few changes have occurred at the blog that are worth discussing. One of those things is that the blog is now a year older! Over five years ago, I started this project, and I am … Continue reading Month in Review: January 2023
I have talked at length about all the different archetypes players can build their decks around, from spamming Dwarves and Outlands allies to investing in a strong army of Dale allies with attachments.

I won't get into all the details in this article, I have spent several monthly updates on the situation, … Continue reading 2022: A Year in Numbers
The final scenario of the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle is where things get a bit crazy. Not only is this the first time players have to traverse 4 quest stages, but they have to do so with Gollum kicking and screaming like a 4-year-old who got told that they can't have all the candy from … Continue reading Return to Mirkwood
The fifth adventure pack of the first cycle takes us to the Dead Marshes. This will not be the last time we visit this place in the game, but for now, we do not have to worry about the undead residing here. We are here to finally capture Gollum, who is trying to escape us … Continue reading The Dead Marshes
