As the world continues to burn around us, it's nice to appreciate the little glimpses of light in this dark tunnel. Another year has come and gone, and Vision of the Palantir is now 8 years old! The blog continues to grow, though this was a rather slow year, boosted mostly by the QOTW articles. … Continue reading Eighth Year Anniversary

Happy holidays all! I hope everyone gets to celebrate the end of this year with some more games and I wish you the best for 2026. I know it has been a while since the last update, but we have finally gotten some progress going on the book again, and we are hopeful to release … Continue reading Update December 2025
Nightmare Raid on the Grey Havens
Well, the time of the fun and easy quests is over. And since nobody stepped up to do these hard quests for me, I suppose I will have to try and come up with strategies for a Nightmare quest I have never personally beaten. Raid on the Grey Havens is a tough quest that puts … Continue reading Nightmare Raid on the Grey Havens
Nightmare Temple of the Deceived
I like it when a scenario breaks the regular flow of the game, offering a unique hook to the quest that makes it stand out among all others. Temple of the Deceived is one of the most recognisable cases of this, as it is probably better known as "That one quest with the map". This … Continue reading Nightmare Temple of the Deceived
QotW: Desert Crossing
Autumn is on holiday this weekend, so you're getting the update from me this time! Quite a coincidence as well, as I have played this quest a week ago during a physical convention at my house with some players from across the Netherlands and Belgium. We managed to beat the quest without too many problems, … Continue reading QotW: Desert Crossing
Art-icle: Tools of the Trait

I have some other priorities right now, but I will continue with the NM Dream-chaser cycle once I have … Continue reading Art-icle: Tools of the Trait
Nightmare Flight of the Stormcaller
It has been a while since my last Nightmare scenario analysis, hasn't it? I have used this time to work on the new book, and with the bulk of the text now finished, I can use the time I'd normally spend on that, on some more articles instead! We are in the process of going … Continue reading Nightmare Flight of the Stormcaller
Against the Shadow in real life
Let me start off by saying that I never intended to use this blog for political statements and try to keep the conversation related to the game as much as possible. But this is the biggest platform I have to voice my opinion, and I feel that I cannot stay silent with the events transpiring … Continue reading Against the Shadow in real life

After a long time, we have another storage solution to share with you all. This one is more for all you DIY enthusiasts out there, as this article will include some cutting templates to recreate Nimral's storage solution for yourself. As always, if you have a way to store your game in a different manner … Continue reading Storage Solutions: Nimral
Seventh Year Anniversary
The blog is another year older, and that decade is approaching a lot faster than I thought. It has been another year of amazing interactions with this community, and the start of several new series on the blog that will keep content going while I am busy with work and writing the new book. Let's … Continue reading Seventh Year Anniversary
