Month: April 2018

Poll-antir Results

At the beginning of the month, I posted a poll up on the site and various other places in the community. The aim of this poll was to improve the quality of the blog and its articles based on community feedback. I was surprised to see so many of you responding, with over 20 reactions, … Continue reading Poll-antir Results →

Month in Review: April 2018

This month the blog celebrated its 10.000 views. I would like to thank you all for visiting the site so much and taking your time to read the articles that are posted here. In terms of articles, I didn't come as far as I had hoped because of my studies that are still taking up … Continue reading Month in Review: April 2018 →

The Drúadan Forest

This quest is one of my most hated quests in the game. It requires a very specific build, and even then, you might stall after 3 turns as the new Prowl keyword takes away most of your resources. This quest is also one that can absolutely ruin players by dealing a lot of Archery damage … Continue reading The Drúadan Forest →

Assault on Osgiliath

This was the second time in short succession that the players were at Osgiliath. With the memory of Massing at Osgiliath fresh in their memory, players set out to retake the city after they fled from it during the POD quest. This scenario is again all about locations, as each cycle has one of those … Continue reading Assault on Osgiliath →

Rohan

The horse-lords of Middle Earth have been in the game since the very beginning, being one of the few traits with 3 heroes right out of the Core Set. Over the years, as the card pool expanded, the trait has had a lot of focus during the times the narrative took place around the land … Continue reading Rohan →

LOTR LCG: The Collection

It can be pretty difficult for new players to find their way in the jungle of cards and expansions that this game has to offer. There have been occasions where people have bought adventure packs without owning the corresponding Deluxe box when they first came to the game, making it impossible to play the specific … Continue reading LOTR LCG: The Collection →

Encounter at Amon Dîn

Do you ever feel like the encounter decks of recent quests are too difficult? Do you get smashed to bits by enemies or horrible treacheries? Do you feel like giving up on everything and play Arkham Horror instead? Well, then come on down to Amon Dîn! This quest is one that is regarded as one … Continue reading Encounter at Amon Dîn →

Vision of the Poll-antir

Hey everyone. I have made a short poll with some questions concerning the blog. I would like to improve the site and the articles to fit the community as best as I can. Some feedback on the articles and on whether or not I should upgrade the site would be appreciated. No pressure on filling … Continue reading Vision of the Poll-antir →

Blogroll and community resources

A game is only as good as the community surrounding it and with LOTR LCG, that community is another reason to play this game. The people are really supportive and work on several resources to make deck building easier. I think the community is so great in part because the game is a cooperative game, … Continue reading Blogroll and community resources →

Staples: Card Draw

With the resources covered in the previous article, it is now time to spend all of those precious resources and play some cards. What would a card game be without having cards in your hands right? The staples in this category are mostly found in the Lore sphere, as it established itself early on to … Continue reading Staples: Card Draw →
