Back when the new releases were stopped in 2019, and the game went into hiatus, many people speculated on what would happen to it.

Luckily, the community stepped up with their own projects to … Continue reading What’s next for LOTR LCG?
They grow up so fast, don't they? It has been exactly 6 years since I started to write for the blog and shared the first set of articles on the Core Set with the community. Back then, I had no idea how large the blog would grow and that we'd cross the 1 million views … Continue reading Sixth Year Anniversary
It's for the first time in a while that I feel that this year has been better than the last.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that I haven't written that many articles this month, but have been mostly busy behind the scenes and working on one long article instead. Regardless, I will … Continue reading Month in Review: November 2023
