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 →

Month in Review: August 2019

With summer already passing, it seems that we are going back to the darker and colder days here in the Northern Hemisphere. But that's fine by me, because bad weather is a perfect excuse to skip going outside and play some more games! Also for working on the blog, which has seen some good development … Continue reading Month in Review: August 2019 →

Monthly Poll: August 2019

It has become somewhat of a ritual now to wrap up these polls at the end of the month. And this month's article is no different. Since we have started to delve into the Haradrim cycle properly this month, I wanted to rank the different scenarios of the cycle with each other. The scenarios in … Continue reading Monthly Poll: August 2019 →

Month in Review: July 2019

These months are going by fast, just 5 more until we live in the year 2020. But until then, a lot of things will happen with the blog. Let's first focus on what has happened in the last month, and see where the future takes us. With things ramping up for GenCon 2019, a bunch … Continue reading Month in Review: July 2019 →

Monthly Poll: July 2019

With the new Deluxe box being planned for next week, Hobbits are becoming even more relevant than they already are. Over the years, there have been many interations of unique Hobbit characters that we know from the books, and some that were designed by FFG themselves. With 13 different unique Hobbit characters, there are some … Continue reading Monthly Poll: July 2019 →

Month in Review: June 2019

Another month has passed, and guess what, the game isn't dead yet! (to no-one's surprise). That means that it is time to look back at the past month with all the content that this blog has been putting out and all the news that has come out of FFG this past month. We got our … Continue reading Month in Review: June 2019 →

Monthly Poll: June 2019

For the month of June, I asked you, the community, about your favourite player side-quests. We have had 10 so far, and if this on-again-off-again trend continues, we are looking at 5 new side-quests in the new cycle. So I listed all 10 of the side-quests and gave every person 2 votes. And now it … Continue reading Monthly Poll: June 2019 →

Month in review: May 2019

Man, these months are really going by quickly. It can be a good thing though, as Con of the Rings is just 4 months away now. And the sooner that arrives, the better. But with another month coming to a close, it is time to review what has happened to the blog and the official … Continue reading Month in review: May 2019 →

Monthly Poll: May 2019

With another month approaching its end, it is time to wrap up this month's poll. I was interested to see what sphere lineups are the most favourite among players in this community. I listed every possible lineup and gave you three votes for sphere lineups. The results of that poll will be discussed in this … Continue reading Monthly Poll: May 2019 →

Staples: Direct Damage

Usually, players tend to destroy enemies by having more attack strength than the enemy has combined defence and hitpoints. However, there is also another way to do damage, one that bypasses the defence value of the enemy. This Direct Damage strategy is a popular archetype for quests where enemies have only a few points of … Continue reading Staples: Direct Damage →
