2020: A year in numbers

Now don't worry, we won't be talking about spreadsheets of active cases in your area or anything, this article will only contain graphs and spreadsheets that are relevant to the blog and my personal games that I have played this year. I do this every year, so I can compare statistics between years and see … Continue reading 2020: A year in numbers →

Month in Review: December 2020

This is it, the final month of a year that lasted a lifetime. While there is a light at the end of this tunnel, I hope that end will come soon so that things may return to normal in the new year. I will only briefly talk about this month for the game and the … Continue reading Month in Review: December 2020 →

Monthly Poll: December 2020

This month's poll ended a little earlier, as the upcoming holidays don't allow me enough time to work on the article, so I might as well push it out now. Over the past month, I have polled what scenarios from the Vengeance of Mordor cycle are your favorite. I have done this for every cycle … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2020 →

A long-extended Party

You hear it often that this community is the best there is on the internet. For those that need proof of this, I present you with the AleP (A long-extended Party) project. This idea was spearheaded by Seastan back in September 2019 when it was announced that the game would go on a hiatus after … Continue reading A long-extended Party →

Month in review: November 2020

Hang in there, 2020 is nearly over. I know the year has been rough for many of you, myself included, but brighter days are on the horizon. And that includes the game! Not only did a large wave of reprints hit stores around the world this month, but we also got our first sneak peaks … Continue reading Month in review: November 2020 →

Monthly Poll: November 2020

With the ninth cycle of the game introducing the new Contract card type, it was only natural to have them all compete in a poll. With most people having access to the final AP in November, this was the ideal time as many people would have had enough time to play with all of the … Continue reading Monthly Poll: November 2020 →

Vision of the Poll-antir 3

It is that time again where I grow a little anxious about the blog and would love some feedback. I have done some of these polls in the past, but with quarantine keeping me indoors and with all of this year's loot taken care off, I had some spare time to fix a poll for … Continue reading Vision of the Poll-antir 3 →

Vision of the Palantir Loot 2020

Despite this year being a little different than others, I still wanted to give something positive back to the community. It has helped me during the quarantine and the support for the blog has grown substantially during the past year. So in order to thank those that wrote for the blog this past year and … Continue reading Vision of the Palantir Loot 2020 →

Month in Review: September 2020

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 →

Monthly Poll: 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 →
