Monthly Poll: February 2019

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. This month, I wanted to know which scenario of the Dream-chaser was your favourite. The Dream-chaser … Continue reading Monthly Poll: February 2019 →

Healer

In every RPG party, you need someone who looks out for the group and makes sure that all other characters remain alive. In this game, that job is for the Healer trait. While relatively undeveloped, there are still some Healer cards in this game who heal via various means. While a lot about these cards … Continue reading Healer →

Dale/Esgaroth

It is not often that I discuss two traits in the same article, but I am willing to make an exception here in order to prevent a very short article on the Esgaroth trait. The Dale trait has been one of the most developed traits during this past cycle, so I have been waiting to … Continue reading Dale/Esgaroth →

Multi-deck building

As can be seen in my Storage Solutions articles, I like to build several decks at once instead of building a specific deck for each scenario. 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 →

First Impressions: The Ghost of Framsburg

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 →

Valour

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 →

Woodmen

The designers of this game are always looking to expand their roster of traits; this means that sometimes, we get traits just briefly mentioned in the original novels. One of these are the Woodmen of Mirkwood, who got a synergy late in the game's life despite being around since the days of the Ringmaker cycle. … Continue reading Woodmen →

Month in review: January 2019

Guess I will start by wishing everyone a happy new year. Here's hoping that 2019 will be another great year for the community. For the first month, the blog has certainly been busy, so it looks like this year will turn out great. A lot of things happened this month on the blog itself, from … Continue reading Month in review: January 2019 →

Monthly Poll: January 2019

There are a lot of allies in the card pool at this time with a stat distribution that makes them versatile in any situation. With 2 willpower they can contribute to the quest while making a measurable impact on that quest. 2 attack allows them to join in on combined attacks in order to kill … Continue reading Monthly Poll: January 2019 →

First Year Anniversary

Exactly one year ago to this day, the first article appeared on the young Vision of the Palantir blog. Since then, the blog has grown to bea hub for several content creators, sharing their content with the community. In this article I want to reflect a little on the past year, and get some thank-yous … Continue reading First Year Anniversary →
