This article is the first in the line of a new series brought to you by a new writer on Vision of the Palantir: Carter. He will be taking on quite the challenge every week which will hopefully help others with their deckbuilding approach to certain scenarios. Best of luck to him and to all … Continue reading Ultra-Campaign Playthrough Series, Part 1: Passage through Mirkwood

QotW: The Oath Results
We are getting close to the Ered Mithrin cycle, but wanted to give players some more time to receive their campaign box. So we continue with the campaign from the Core Set into the Dark of Mirkwood scenario expansion. These two quests aren't the hardest of them all, but can still leave some space for … Continue reading QotW: The Oath Results
QotW: Escape from Dol Guldur Results
We've already reached the end of the Core Set this week! The challenge for the past 7 days was to play Escape from Dol Guldur and report back with your findings. This is a quest that many players have (rightfully) skipped in the early days of their time with the game, so it is good … Continue reading QotW: Escape from Dol Guldur Results
QotW: Journey Along the Anduin Results
After the success of this project with Passage through Mirkwood, we led our campaigns to the river, where the difficulty increases and more challenging obstacles need to be overcome. Still, I believe this is the most played quest during the entire game's life, since the difficulty is average and players often use this quest to … Continue reading QotW: Journey Along the Anduin Results
The Wizard’s Quest
The cool thing about these custom scenario quests is that they are compatible with each other. Obviously, you cannot mix Moria encounter sets with Mirkwood ones, but having 2 Mirkwood sets opens up far more customization for your encounter deck. This second custom scenario kit was the very first one ever released during GenCon 2018 … Continue reading The Wizard’s Quest
The Woodland Realm
And now for something completely different: That must have been the tagline for this project, as the GenCon and Fellowship kits for 2018 and 2019 stray the most from the original format of the game out of all scenarios out there. It is for that reason that I have waited so long to cover these … Continue reading The Woodland Realm
The Dead Marshes
The fifth adventure pack of the first cycle takes us to the Dead Marshes. This will not be the last time we visit this place in the game, but for now, we do not have to worry about the undead residing here. We are here to finally capture Gollum, who is trying to escape us … Continue reading The Dead Marshes
A Journey to Rhosgobel
After having been away so long from the blog, you'd expect me to rush in with a nice and easy article discussing some quests that are beloved by the community. You know, the simple stuff. But noooo, SOMEONE (me from 4 months ago) decided that Journey to Rhosgobel should be next! So today, we'll be … Continue reading A Journey to Rhosgobel
Encounter Set Review: A Journey to Rhosgobel
After the fierce battle with the Troll brothers, Players enter the nearby forest Carrock. There they find wounded Wilyador. To save him, they must ask for advice from Radagast the Brown. He told them they must find Athelas, the healing herb which can fully restore the wounded Eagle. But do you believe, Players, that We will allow that? Nope. The … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: A Journey to Rhosgobel
Conflict at the Carrock
This quest has a special place on the blog, as it was the very first article ever released that was not written by me. Bgamerjoe took up the challenge when I asked around the community all those years ago and created a pretty solid analysis of the quest. Still, in order to bring this quest … Continue reading Conflict at the Carrock
