When you read the flavor text before and after this scenario in the rule sheets, you learn that our heroes actually do get nightmares from the base scenario of that quest. It is not often that they are disturbed by things, but the memory of Minas Morgul under the full moon haunts them a bit … Continue reading Nightmare The Morgul Vale
Out of all 50 Nightmare packs, I think this is one that you should save for last. Not because it is worth the wait but because it is going to take some time to defeat the quest, and you'll be pretty burned out by the time you achieve that feat.

When the Against the Shadow cycle was first released, many players were stomped by the great difficulty of the scenarios compared to previous cycles. But then, along came Encounter at Amon Din: an easy scenario that most players are able to beat in under 5 turns without too much trouble. It still ranks as one … Continue reading Nightmare Encounter at Amon Din
Nightmare Calamari 🐙Durinsfather, when I told him I would cover this article Being one of the most Pirates of the Caribbean-like quests in the Pirates of the Caribbean cycle, The Thing in the Depths has always been intriguing to me.

But the Siege of Cair Andros is a different beast altogether. You have to defend 3 locations from being destroyed, and if you can … Continue reading Nightmare The Siege of Cair Andros
Into Ithilien has always been a roadblock for players. For those that are playing progression mode, this was the next biggest challenge after Escape from Dol Guldur. The scenario introduced a bunch of new mechanics, a split path to tread down, and the infamous Mumak enemies that would come back here and there during the … Continue reading Nightmare Into Ithilien
I promised in my new year's resolutions to complete the Nightmare Heirs of Numenor cycle this year, and with 2 months having already passed without an article on that, I thought I might as well get started on fulfilling this promise. So today, we kick-off the cycle with Peril in Pelargir. It is a quest that is … Continue reading Nightmare Peril in Pelargir
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'The Fellowship of the Ring The definitive "Boss fight" quest (maybe rivaled by Smaug) was an awesome way to end the Dwarrodelf cycle and explore the power of this ancient entity in … Continue reading Nightmare Shadow and Flame
