With the last clash against Durin's Bane, the Dwarrowdelf cycle (note: always including Khazad-Dum expansion) ends and it is time to make a complex summary. This time I'm going to make a different, more structured, and sophisticated overview, however.

The time has come to start a second version of this article, now that the original series is coming to a close in the 9th cycle. I noticed that over the 2.5 years since I wrote the original PtM article, many things have changed, including the length of my articles.

The dragon Dagnir had succeeded in doing what no army had been able to do for over 4500 years – driving the orcs out of what … Continue reading The Fate of Wilderland

Especially in this Vengeance of Mordor cycle, the River Running strikes me as the easiest quest of the entire cycle, … Continue reading The River Running
Ah, yes, The Dread Realm! The conclusion of the Angmar Awakened cycle, loved by some, disliked by some. It has been one of my favorite quests ever since I first played it, as it was thematic, interesting in its mechanics, and already pretty challenging. The Nightmare version, as always, makes it even more thematic and … Continue reading Nightmare The Dread Realm
