First Year Anniversary

Exactly one year ago to this day, the first article appeared on the young Vision of the Palantir blog. Since then, the blog has grown to bea hub for several content creators, sharing their content with the community. In this article I want to reflect a little on the past year, and get some thank-yous … Continue reading First Year Anniversary →

Leadership Sphere (Core set)

Let me introduce myself.:) My name is Radovan Beňo (alias silblade222 here) and I'm coming from the Czech Republic. My first experience with LOTR LCG was on Christmas 2015, where I have got my first Core set. In that day, I hadn't any idea, how deeply and with which passion I will immerse to this … Continue reading Leadership Sphere (Core set) →

Voyage Across Belegaer

As we kick off this brand new cycle, we get right away one of my favourite quests in the game. During Voyage of Belegaer, players are introduced to the new mechanics of the cycle, involving sailing tests and ship objectives/enemies. I like this quest because of the replayability, as well as the fact that it … Continue reading Voyage Across Belegaer →

Harad

The fun thing about this game is that it dares to go beyond the regular factions when it comes to player cards for this game. Instead, it shows that not everything in Middle Earth is light and dark, good and evil. There is also a grey area in between and characters can switch sides halfway … Continue reading Harad →

Nightmare The Hills of Emyn Muil

For some people, regular Emyn Muil is already a nightmare to play due to the monotomous gameplay and the lack of twists as you clear locations. With very few enemies and Northern Tracker taking care of annoying locations, even progression players can beat this scenario with ease. However, as a location control player myself, I … Continue reading Nightmare The Hills of Emyn Muil →

Ships and Sailing tests

Going into the Dream-chaser cycle will see us facing a new mechanic in the game, unique to this cycle: Sailing tests. I wanted to explain a bit more about them in a separate article, as they are relevant for several quests during this cycle. Since this cycle also introduces us to Ship objectives and Ship … Continue reading Ships and Sailing tests →

Monthly Poll: December 2018

Unlike other months, where I would host the poll in the side-bar of the blog, I made a tournament bracket pitting all 102 quests that had been released up to the start of December against each other. Through direct head-to-head battles, we tried to derive what quest would end up being the community's favourite. As … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2018 →

2018: A year in numbers

As the year has come to an end, I look back at 2018 as a year in which I have appreciated the game some more. Not only did I attend Con of the Rings and bought every expansion that was released this year (excluding the Limited Edition 2 players set), but the Digital game was … Continue reading 2018: A year in numbers →

Month in review: December 2018

While the year is coming to an end, I decided to have a hibernation break during December from the blog. While this didn't mean that no content was posted, the number of posts was limited to give me and my co-authors some time to breath and have the time to spend on the holidays. But … Continue reading Month in review: December 2018 →
