Your hunt for Gollum has brought you to one of the more boring quests in the game, according to many. The Hills of Emyn Muil focuses a lot on locations and exploration rather than combat. As such, it is not unheard of to clear this scenario without ever seeing a single enemy. This greatly reduces … Continue reading The Hills of Emyn Muil
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
I suppose another update is in order. I skipped the September one because I was in no condition to write, and not much happened that month anyway. October has been a bit more interesting as a player of this game. The blog also started to show signs of life again, with some articles by me … Continue reading Month in Review: October 2022
Right after the release of Encounter at Amon Din, we are finally back to a regular "Against the shadow" difficulty quest. In Normal mode of Assault on Osgiliath, we come across the infamous Treacheries, The Master's Malice, and The Power of Mordor, along with other classic cards from this cycle. Thankfully, for players' sanity, those treacheries have been removed … Continue reading Nightmare Assault on Osgiliath
“It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats … Continue reading Journey to the Cross-roads
With everything going on right now, I needed a distraction, and while I'm not feeling good enough to write a full scenario analysis, I did want to start putting out content on the blog again. So I'd like to take you all on a journey to explain how this year's swag got its cover and … Continue reading Artwork of the VOTP swag 2022
This... will be a different sort of article than I usually post around this time each month. It's going to be more of a personal update and a public statement as to why I have not been around the community as much, and why no content was published on the blog in August, despite plans … Continue reading Month in Review: August 2022
This has been a rather productive month for the blog and a good month for the community as well since there was quite a bit of news to enjoy during the month. The announcement of the repackaged LOTR Sagas did not come as a surprise, but it is nice that we at least have a … Continue reading Month in Review: July 2022
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
The following article was written by TheChap, which many of you will know from hosting the Cardboard of the Rings podcast and being one of the brave souls carrying forward a complete progression series on the podcast's Youtube channel. I approached him forever ago to explain all about his unique way of storing his cards. … Continue reading Storage solutions: TheChap
