The final trait that is to be discussed during this month of traits is the Warrior trait. This is probably the most conventional trait out there and can be found on a multitude of characters. But being a very common trait is understandable in a world where you better have some skill with a blade. … Continue reading Warrior
The shortest month of the year is already behind us and 2019 seems to be flying by. But as the month concludes, I get to look back at the past month and discuss some of the things that happened on the blog. While nothing world-changing happened in terms of news and announcements, I did put … Continue reading Month in Review: February 2019
The second-to-last occupational trait to cover is the Noble trait. This trait has some peculiar cards that don't see a lot of play, but the characters are all well-known and see regular play. The Nobles are the commanders of their nations and the armies that come from it. They specialise in global buffs and in … Continue reading Noble
The poll of this month got a little less time to be filled in, due to the length of the month, but that hasn't stopped many of you from filling in the poll in the side-bar of the blog.

While both methods of deckbuilding have their merits, I prefer this style. However, building 10+ decks at once comes with a couple of challenges that people are struggling with. … Continue reading Multi-deck building
It has been a while since we have had a new pack released, and while some people got their hands on this pack early, mine just arrived. So that means that it is time for a quick impression article on the player cards in the pack as well as a quick review of the quest. … Continue reading First Impressions: The Ghost of Framsburg
We continue the month of traits and mechanics with a mechanic that doesn't see a lot of play, but features a lot of very powerful effects: Valour. This mode is for the real dare-devils among us who laugh at a Doomed 5 treachery and bring heroes with a starting threat of 35 or higher. The … Continue reading Valour
The designers of this game are always looking to expand their roster of traits, and that means that sometimes, we get traits are just briefly mentioned in the original novels. One of these are the Woodmen of Mirkwood, that recently got a synergy despite being around since the days of the Ringmaker cycle. In this … Continue reading Woodmen
