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
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
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
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
It has been over 4 years since my first article on this quest. Back then, I was still trying out different styles and formats for my articles. I revised the Core Set scenarios back in 2020, and I now want to dedicate some time to revising all 6 AP scenarios from the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle. … Continue reading The Hunt for Gollum
If in Hunt for Gollum, Players rested from fighting, in Conflict at the Carrock, We are going to throw them in the turmoil of fierce battle. From The Carrock are coming down hungry and enraged Troll brothers. They won't definitely shake hands with the newcomers - rather, they will tear the hands away. The Players have not yet known such a … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: Conflict at the Carrock
I have missed this, I really have. Shortly after the release of the Revised Core Set, I got word that the announced Dark of Mirkwood Scenario Pack was already in stock here in the Netherlands. And what do you know? It actually arrived the day after I ordered. So I get to revive an old … Continue reading First Impressions: The Dark of Mirkwood
It was brought to my attention that there isn't really one place where the narrative printed on the paper rule sheets can be found. So I have decided to start and copy the narrative of each cycle in a new series so that you can follow along with the story if you are playing the … Continue reading Flavor text: Shadows of Mirkwood
Because Players tend to poke around our affairs, We kidnapped one of the heroes and imprisoned him in Dol Guldur, where he will suffer. If Players think they will rescue him easily, then they must look up: Nazgul of Dol Guldur won't allow Players to free the imprisoned hero. His terrifying scream will freeze these "courage" heroes and … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: Escape from Dol Guldur
Completing our trifecta of Core Set quests, we have Escape from Dol Guldur. This quest comes with a warning from the entire veteran community to new players: Skip this quest and go back to it later when your card pool has expanded. This quest can be brutal with just Core Set decks and still proves … Continue reading Escape from Dol Guldur
