Month in Review: May 2022
Again, this has not been the most exciting month on the blog, as I have been busy starting my new job and still recovering from the personal changes that came in last month. Mentally, I have not yet recovered, though work has been a good distraction. It has taken up a lot of time that … Continue reading Month in Review: May 2022
Nightmare The Steward’s Fear
This quest is one of the community's favorites thanks to its high replayability with the different Plots and Villains. The quest was so popular that the designers tried their hand again with Danger in Dorwinion, which is a spiritual successor. But this quest also comes with a Nightmare mode, building on the original version with … Continue reading Nightmare The Steward’s Fear
The Passage of the Marshes
'Yes, yes,' said Gollum. 'All dead, all rotten.... The Dead Marshes. There was a great battle long ago, yes, so they told him when Smรฉagol was young, when I was young before the Precious came. It was a great battle. Tall Men with long swords, and terrible Elves, and Orcses shrieking. They fought on the plain for days and months at the Black Gates. But the Marshes … Continue reading The Passage of the Marshes

The Hunt for Gollum
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
Nightmare The Siege of Cair Andros
The final quest of the Heirs of Numenor Deluxe is also often deemed the most difficult. And that is saying something, as the other two aren't considered a walk in the park either. But the Siege of Cair Andros is a different beast altogether. You have to defend 3 locations from being destroyed, and if you can … Continue reading Nightmare The Siege of Cair Andros

Month in Review: March 2022
Sometimes I miss those hiatus days when all the new content could be summarized into a single sentence, and I could just continue with the article as usual. But no, LOTR LCG is back, and we certainly got our fair share of content in March. With the release of the Starter decks and the announcement … Continue reading Month in Review: March 2022
Nightmare Into Ithilien
Into Ithilien has always been a roadblock for players. For those that are playing progression mode, this was the next biggest challenge after Escape from Dol Guldur. The scenario introduced a bunch of new mechanics, a split path to tread down, and the infamous Mumak enemies that would come back here and there during the … Continue reading Nightmare Into Ithilien
