While October was a relatively slow month, November had an article nearly every 2 days! I was compensating a bit but also discovered that I had a bit more time to work on articles during the week. With a new national lockdown coming soon, I will be spending more time inside, meaning that I can … Continue reading Month in Review: November 2021
Spacing out these polls every two months has been very relaxing to me, so I'm glad I have done so for this past Fall. I am changing things up though, with a brand new tournament for December that will be deciding what unique ally is the community's favourite in combination with the Messenger of the … Continue reading Bi-monthly Poll: Oct-Nov plus Tournament announcement!
Back when the first AleP expansion was announced nearly a year ago, I did a promo article for them to make sure as many eyeballs saw the amazing effort that the AleP crew was putting into their brand new Deluxe box. To help promote them, they offered me a spoiler of a new event that … Continue reading AleP spoilers: The Gap of Rohan
We have arrived at the end of this series, with the ninth cycle of the game and the narrative that it tries to tell surrounding the nine quests of this cycle. This cycle even returns some characters from a previous cycle, so you better read up on their backstory before jumping into this one. With … Continue reading Flavor text: Vengeance of Mordor

Nearly there, just two more articles to go to have covered all the flavor text of all the cycles. This one took a bit longer as large parts had to be copied by hand (including the entire Deluxe box). Luckily, this cycle's narrative is not as long as the previous cycles, though it is still … Continue reading Flavor text: Ered Mithrin

This cycle explores the heroes' journey home, along with the friends and foes they meet along the way. The narrative of the cycle explores how not all of the Haradrim follow Sauron willingly, which is a … Continue reading Flavor text: Haradrim
Get ready for another long article with the flavor text for this cycle. Dream-chaser increases the narrative even further with different points of view for the story. It also includes a wonderful epilogue about the fall of Númenor at the end of the Second Age. I hope you all enjoy the story that the developers … Continue reading Flavor text: Dream-chaser
These articles are becoming longer and longer the further we go in. But I have grown to appreciate the stories a lot since starting this series. While most of the work is simply cutting and pasting the stories from the rule sheets, I do have to type some segments over, giving me a better idea … Continue reading Flavor text: Angmar Awakened
After the long article detailing the story of the Against the Shadow cycle, we learned that our heroes were moving to Rohan. And that is exactly where this story picks up again. This hinting at the next cycle will continue in these stories, and eventually, those links will become stronger and stronger after the Dream-chaser … Continue reading Flavor text: Ringmaker
