Nightmare The Steward’s Fear

This quest is one of the community's favorites thanks to its high replayability with the different Plots and Villains. The quest was so popular that the designers tried their hand again with Danger in Dorwinion, which is a spiritual successor. But this quest also comes with a Nightmare mode, building on the original version with … Continue reading Nightmare The Steward’s Fear →

For those that were unaware … Continue reading Month in Review: April 2022 →

The Hunt for Gollum

It has been over 4 years since my first article on this quest. Back then, I was still trying out different styles and formats for my articles. I revised the Core Set scenarios back in 2020, and I now want to dedicate some time to revising all 6 AP scenarios from the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle. … Continue reading The Hunt for Gollum →

Nightmare The Siege of Cair Andros

The final quest of the Heirs of Numenor Deluxe is also often deemed the most difficult. And that is saying something, as the other two aren't considered a walk in the park either. But the Siege of Cair Andros is a different beast altogether. You have to defend 3 locations from being destroyed, and if you can … Continue reading Nightmare The Siege of Cair Andros →

Announcing Palantir Pals NFTs!

Introducing the Palantir Pals NFT collection! The first time LOTR LCG and NFTs have joined forces to prepare the 11-year-old game for Web 3.0! I joked when I said that I was fired from work and had spent my time working on finding a new job.

Month in Review: March 2022

Sometimes I miss those hiatus days when all the new content could be summarized into a single sentence, and I could just continue with the article as usual. But no, LOTR LCG is back, and we certainly got our fair share of content in March. With the release of the Starter decks and the announcement … Continue reading Month in Review: March 2022 →

Nightmare Into Ithilien

Into Ithilien has always been a roadblock for players. For those that are playing progression mode, this was the next biggest challenge after Escape from Dol Guldur. The scenario introduced a bunch of new mechanics, a split path to tread down, and the infamous Mumak enemies that would come back here and there during the … Continue reading Nightmare Into Ithilien →

First Impressions: Starter decks

Shortly after the Revised Core Set was announced, two other products were announced to complement the card pool and to help new players with easy products to buy after their Core Set. The first of these was the Dark of Mirkwood scenario pack, which contained 2 "new" scenarios for players to play in campaign mode. … Continue reading First Impressions: Starter decks →

Nightmare Peril in Pelargir

I promised in my new year's resolutions to complete the Nightmare Heirs of Numenor cycle this year, and with 2 months having already passed without an article on that, I thought I might as well get started on fulfilling this promise. So today, we kick-off the cycle with Peril in Pelargir. It is a quest that is … Continue reading Nightmare Peril in Pelargir →

Into the West

This article on the Into the West contract was written by community member Autumn. Since the contract is a part of the A Long-extended Party project, I was unable to give a lot of info on the contract, so she stepped forward to discuss it. Autumn is most known for her amazing alt art cards, … Continue reading Into the West →
