Month in Review: March 2021

March has been a month of highs and lows for me. On the one hand, I have gotten a crazy amount of new expansions in this past month, and am nearing completion of my Nightmare collection. Just 4 packs remain at this point. I also received the components of a Fellowship kit, allowing me to … Continue reading Month in Review: March 2021 →

Monthly Poll: March 2021

Some say this is enough playmats, they are wrong It is time to close another poll and look at the results! I quite enjoyed this month's poll, as we got a ton of reactions and discussions about what playmat is best. I also received my copy of the Balrog playmat this month, which is looking … Continue reading Monthly Poll: March 2021 →

Nightmare The Seventh Level

The Seventh Level is one of my testing quests (I test a lot against Dwarrowdelf in general) and particularly for my combat decks. The classic Seventh Level has always been a quest that pushes out a ton of enemies. It requires you to do well against them, while also making enough progress to get through … Continue reading Nightmare The Seventh Level →

Community support and swag

I have wanted to make this article for a while now as a follow-up to my Collectables article. But with the recent update to that one, and with my own items for this year coming along nicely, I finally pulled the trigger and started writing this article. What is this article exactly? Well, it lists … Continue reading Community support and swag →

Month in Review: February 2021

With exactly 4 weeks since the previous monthly update, the month of February has finished again. It has been a month of community members searching high and low for the Fellowship kits, and I have been one of them. Luckily, I have managed to get my hands on some parts of the Fellowship kit that … Continue reading Month in Review: February 2021 →

Monthly Poll: February 2021

This poll took quite a lot of setup, as in previous 9 polls, I asked you all what your favourite scenarios were in each cycle. The nine winners of those polls then advanced to the poll I put up for this month, to see how those scenarios stack up against one another. While I have … Continue reading Monthly Poll: February 2021 →

Under the Ash Mountains

I know I said after my Drรบadan Forest review some years ago that I would never cover a quest in such a negative tone again. But boy, did I find another quest that I find unfair, and you are all here to read me whining about it. Under the Ash Mountains takes a few mechanics from previous … Continue reading Under the Ash Mountains →

Month in Review: January 2021

Well, the first month of the new year is behind us. It does still have the feeling of 2020 though, with people rioting in my country and no visible light at the end of the tunnel yet. But we will carry on and hope for the best. In the meantime, let's reflect on all the … Continue reading Month in Review: January 2021 →

Monthly Poll: January 2021

We are already approaching the end of the first month of 2021, which means we can conclude the poll and start a new one! For the past month, I have been asking people what their favourite Ship objective from the Hunt for the Dreadnaught pack has been. These ships are rather unique and offer the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: January 2021 →

Third year anniversary

With these turbulent times, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of time. Just a few days ago, I realised that January was already approaching its end, which means that the blog turns 3 years old today! It is hard to imagine that I have already been publishing articles and committing so much time to … Continue reading Third year anniversary →
