Month in Review: November 2019

Another month is over, and what a month it has been for the community. Not only did we get a lot of new cards spoiled to us, but most of the community finally got their hands on Wrath and Ruin. This in turn meant that the community was thriving with discussions on the new cards … Continue reading Month in Review: November 2019 →

Monthly Poll: November 2019

We are approaching the end of this decade, and while we still have another month to wrap things up for the year, I wanted to start a bit earlier than that. So this will be the final regular monthly poll for this year, and I will be announcing the new poll for December at the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: November 2019 →

Month in Review: October 2019

With the year coming to a close soon, it is time to look at what October gave us in terms of LOTR LCG content. While the community thrived with Con of the Rings being a big part of the early weeks of the month, FFG dropped the ball and didn't release any new articles to … Continue reading Month in Review: October 2019 →

Monthly Poll: October 2019

As the leaves fall down, another month comes to an end. In this month I put up a new poll on the blog where you could fill in your favourite two scenarios of the recently completed Ered Mithrin cycle. This cycle had a few amazing quests, but also a few very long slogs through the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: October 2019 →

Q&A: October 2019

Having been nearly a year since the last one, I thought it was time that I did another one of these Q&As. With the blog receiving just over 100k views at this point in the year, and with the blog overall getting 150k views, it was the opportune moment, so here we are. A few … Continue reading Q&A: October 2019 →

Vision of the Palantir Loot 2019

After the success of last year's loot, it was time for me to start thinking about what I could give away this year to my authors, patrons, and other supporters. Last year I had the custom coconut tokens that I could make for free at the internship company I was working. I did not have … Continue reading Vision of the Palantir Loot 2019 →

Month in review: September 2019

While we have all been recovering somewhat from the shock that the game will take a break next year, the community has been as busy as ever. A lot of content was created by many people and hype has been building for Con of the Rings 2019. In this article, I will go over some … Continue reading Month in review: September 2019 →

Monthly Poll: September 2019

As the month concludes, we round out the monthly poll as well. This month's poll concerned the Guarded (X) attachments from the Ered Mithrin cycle. I pitted the attachments against each other and gave all visitors to the site 2 votes to decide what two Guarded (X) attachments are the best in their opinion. I … Continue reading Monthly Poll: September 2019 →

Staples: Location control

Location control is a mechanic in the game that is very close to my heart. I will gladly ditch the Tactics sphere in order to play more cards that interact with locations. But between all of the various cards that swap active locations, discard locations, and place progress, some are stronger than others. In this … Continue reading Staples: Location control →

Project Heat Death

Something big was announced last week that has forced me to put out an article explaining my cause of action for the foreseeable future. I came prepared with a strategy I dubbed Project Heat Death, as I didn't expect the game being down until the end of time. Turns out I was wrong. Cause Last … Continue reading Project Heat Death →
