Every cycle thus far seems to have a quest that almost takes a step back from the traditional adversaries and enemies and has you face the diverse dangers presented by the very nature and native wildlife of Middle-Earth. In the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle we have The Hills of Emyn Muil; the Dwarrowdelf cycle offers us … Continue reading The Mumakil
Amidst all the commotion that the current situation creates, I nearly forgot that it was nearing the end of the month, and so I had to finish the monthly poll that I ran during March. This month, I polled what everybody's favourite quest from the Dwarrowdelf cycle was, giving everyone 2 selections from among the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: March 2020
The Mines of Moria are a dark labyrinth of narrow tunnels and wide passages, natural caves and impressive caverns of Dwarven workmanship. The heroes must make their way eastward, discovering what they can about the Orcs, and perhaps even meeting up with Balin for more information. But it is easy to get lost in the … Continue reading Player card review: The Long Dark

If YOU, Players, were appeased by the previous Encounter set, Passage Through Mirkwood, the next one will put you backon solid ground. Dol Guldur Orcs is coming up with, as the name indicates, many Orcs, ready to crush many skulls. Forget about East Bight Patrol - these Orcs can fight. The Encounter set won't spare even from the view of locations … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: Dol Guldur Orcs
With the shortest month of the year almost behind us, it is time to reflect on the past month and see what it brought the community in terms of expansions and articles from this blog. We got our third expansion of the Vengeance of Mordor cycle, and the Doomed archetype got revitalised with the release … Continue reading Month in Review: February 2020
To take a break of the 'favoutire scenario of cycle X' trend, I made a poll for the short month of February where players could vote for their top 3 weapon attachments. And with the month coming to an end, it is time to share with you the results on what weapons should remain according … Continue reading Monthly Poll: February 2020

It is a custom for the third quest of each Deluxe box to be the most difficult of the three. Look at Escape from Dol Guldur, Raid on the Grey Havens, and Deadmen's Dike as examples. The Wilds of Rhovanion Deluxe's third quest has you explore the mines of the Iron Hills, where rumour has … Continue reading The King’s Quest
