Flavor text: Dream-chaser

Get ready for another long article with the flavor text for this cycle. Dream-chaser increases the narrative even further with different points of view for the story. It also includes a wonderful epilogue about the fall of Nรบmenor at the end of the Second Age. I hope you all enjoy the story that the developers … Continue reading Flavor text: Dream-chaser →

Flavor text: Angmar Awakened

These articles are becoming longer and longer the further we go in. But I have grown to appreciate the stories a lot since starting this series. While most of the work is simply cutting and pasting the stories from the rule sheets, I do have to type some segments over, giving me a better idea … Continue reading Flavor text: Angmar Awakened →

Flavor text: Ringmaker

After the long article detailing the story of the Against the Shadow cycle, we learned that our heroes were moving to Rohan. And that is exactly where this story picks up again. This hinting at the next cycle will continue in these stories, and eventually, those links will become stronger and stronger after the Dream-chaser … Continue reading Flavor text: Ringmaker →

Flavor text: Against the Shadow

With the previous two articles in this series being rather short, we leave that behind us now, as the quests now come with dialogue and an ending. Because of that, I will now be adding a "completed" section for each quest if it is applicable. The narrative in this one is a lot stronger than … Continue reading Flavor text: Against the Shadow →

durinsfather Against the Shadow Leave a comment 4 November 2021

Flavor text: Dwarrowdelf

Continuing with my coverage of the narrative printed on the rule sheets, we come to the Dwarrowdelf cycle. I will remind everyone again that this cycle took place before the major improvements made to the story in the Against the Shadow cycle, so don't expect extensive dialogues about how dark Moria actually is. Still, this … Continue reading Flavor text: Dwarrowdelf →

Month in Review: October 2021

Well, this has certainly been a quiet month for the blog, so I will keep this update short. The community got to get together this month during both Con of the Rings and Lure of Middle-Earth being held this month. I hope that everyone had a wonderful time and finally got to play with their … Continue reading Month in Review: October 2021 →

Flavor text: Shadows of Mirkwood

It was brought to my attention that there isn't really one place where the narrative printed on the paper rule sheets can be found. So I have decided to start and copy the narrative of each cycle in a new series so that you can follow along with the story if you are playing the … Continue reading Flavor text: Shadows of Mirkwood →

Nightmare The Long Dark

After a bit of break from the blog, I have returned to release some more articles. Today, I posed myself the challenge to get through a Nightmare quest analysis as quickly as possible. And wouldn't you know it: a perfectly forgettable quest presents itself to us, this time in Nightmare form. Many people often praise … Continue reading Nightmare The Long Dark →

Month in Review: September 2021

What a month it has been! Not only for the community as a whole, which got flooded by new content and news but also for me personally. September was the month in which I would send out hundreds of notebooks to community members that supported the blog over the last year, but I wasn't prepared … Continue reading Month in Review: September 2021 →

Bi-monthly Poll: Aug-Sep 2021

Doing polls every 2 months has me suddenly realize that I do still have to publish these articles with the results. It used to be second nature alongside the monthly review articles, but now I am allowed to forget this article once every two months. Not this time though, this time, we got some answers … Continue reading Bi-monthly Poll: Aug-Sep 2021 →
