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 →

Monthly Poll: December 2018

Unlike other months, where I would host the poll in the side-bar of the blog, I made a tournament bracket pitting all 102 quests that had been released up to the start of December against each other. Through direct head-to-head battles, we tried to derive what quest would end up being the community's favourite. As … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2018 →

While this didn't mean that no content was posted, the number of posts was limited to give me and my co-authors some time to breath and have the time to spend on the holidays. But … Continue reading Month in review: December 2018 →

Staples: Shadow card manipulation

The game has a couple of aspects that make every game you play unique. One of these is the random order of cards in the encounter deck, making for different staging steps each time. Another one is that of shadow cards. These are dealt to enemies and can either do nothing or end up causing … Continue reading Staples: Shadow card manipulation →

Lure of Middle Earth Announcement

While GenCon and Con of the Rings are both great conventions for anyone interested in this game, there is a downside to them: They are both in the United States. This makes it difficult for many European players to attend these events without paying a lot extra on trans-Atlantic plane tickets. This is where Lure … Continue reading Lure of Middle Earth Announcement →

Month in Review: November 2018

The days grow shorter, the nights deepen, giving more time for some tabletop gaming for me and some more blog work as well! November has been a particularly weird month for me personally, but you are not here to read about my life, you are here for articles and announcements! Let's review this past month, … Continue reading Month in Review: November 2018 →
