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
Back in 2018, I decided to start this adventure to give back to the community for all its awesome advice and helpful people. Now, 4 years later, the blog has grown to one of the pillars for the community. We have done a lot of work to get this far, but looking back at where … Continue reading 4th year Anniversary

In line with tradition, the last month of the year sees me doing a tournament-style poll with the community. In previous tournaments, we have determined the best scenario in the game and the best hero in the game. For 2021, I had little inspiration for what to do until I found a recommendation from an … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2021
I think I speak for a lot of you when I say that I'm happy that this year is finally behind us. Hopefully, 2022 will be nicer to us all because 2021 has probably been my worst year so far from a personal perspective. Here's hoping that I can finally start attending some more conventions … Continue reading 2021: A year in numbers
This scenario has been a favorite of the community since it came out. So many people like the randomness of the fourth stage, and the mid-game reset, that this quest is usually proposed when the age-old question comes up: "What are the four of us going to play today?".
