Having completed the NM Angmar Awakened cycle, we will focus our efforts on the Dreamchaser cycle.

For the Nightmare … Continue reading Nightmare Voyage Across Belegaer

Lure of Middle Earth 2024: Experiences and Memories
While it seems like Con of the Rings 2023 wasn't too long ago, I was happily surprised one morning to see that Lure of Middle Earth was already around the corner. I think that the yearly convention schedule is spaced out pretty well in order to not have a bunch of them in the same … Continue reading Lure of Middle Earth 2024: Experiences and Memories
The Siege of Gondor
"There at Pelargir lay the main fleet of Umbar, fifty great ships and smaller vessels beyond count.

Sixth Year Anniversary
They grow up so fast, don't they? It has been exactly 6 years since I started to write for the blog and shared the first set of articles on the Core Set with the community.

2023: A Year in Numbers
It's for the first time in a while that I feel that this year has been better than the last.

Nightmare Escape from Mount Gram
When reading the flavour text of this scenario, you realize that this is probably the lowest point that your heroes will get to throughout the entire game. Having been starved and tortured for weeks in the cells under the mountain, they have nearly given up hope. And we're about to make it even harder for … Continue reading Nightmare Escape from Mount Gram
Month in Review: November 2023
These months just keep going faster and faster. Seemed just yesterday that I wrote the October review, yet here we are. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I haven't written that many articles this month, but have been mostly busy behind the scenes and working on one long article instead.
