September has been a tough month for me personally. I felt pretty stressed throughout the month (even to this moment to be honest) so not a lot of work has been done on the blog this month. Co-authors have also taken a break, meaning that the total number of articles is well below the regular … Continue reading Month in Review: September 2020
We've ranked Weapons and Armor with these polls, but this month we looked at the many songs that this game has to offer. Tolkien filled his books with songs and poems, so there were a lot of options to choose from. This list includes both Song attachments and events with the Song trait, just to … Continue reading Monthly Poll: September 2020
The time has come to start a second version of this article, now that the original series is coming to a close in the 9th cycle. I noticed that over the 2.5 years since I wrote the original PtM article, many things have changed, including the length of my articles.

The dragon Dagnir had succeeded in doing what no army had been able to do for over 4500 years – driving the orcs out of what … Continue reading The Fate of Wilderland
As the first scenario of a new cycle, the quest is meant to introduce new mechanics in a slightly easier format to give players a solid quest to beat without it taking a million attempts. Especially in this Vengeance of Mordor cycle, the River Running strikes me as the easiest quest of the entire cycle, … Continue reading The River Running
While it seems like forever since this pack got announced and the community lost its collective mind over the contract, the day has finally come for me to open the pack and play with its contents. It has been a while since Under the Ash Mountains came out in Europe, so I am eager to … Continue reading First Impressions: The Land of Sorrow
July has been a good month for the blog. Not only did we get a ton of work done this month, but I have also been welcoming a lot more authors to the blog this month to work on various articles. Some of these articles were published this month, others will be released next month … Continue reading Month in Review: July 2020
It is not often that I am asked to promote items on the blog, but I was approached a few weeks ago by a member of the community who was making his own tokens for the game. Community member Gaetan Agnini produces these tokens, and is looking to supply some to those in the community … Continue reading Promo: Custom 3D printed tokens
