Well, it is finally upon us, the final pack of the cycle, and the final player cards we will get before the game goes into hiatus. The pack got a lot of hype built up in advance, as people were speculating about what they were missing and would like to see. The expectations could have … Continue reading First Impressions: The Fortress of Nurn
The game's creators seem to have a fondness for alliterations in quest's names, also seen in Peril in Pelargir. This one more resembles The Steward‘s Fear in its mechanics, though, essentially being its successor. Story-wise, you have now arrived in Dorwinion, a great city at the shores of the Sea of Rhûn, where you met … Continue reading Danger in Dorwinion
September has been a tough month for me personally. I felt pretty stressed throughout the month (even to this moment to be honest) so not a lot of work has been done on the blog this month. Co-authors have also taken a break, meaning that the total number of articles is well below the regular … Continue reading Month in Review: September 2020
We've ranked Weapons and Armor with these polls, but this month we looked at the many songs that this game has to offer. Tolkien filled his books with songs and poems, so there were a lot of options to choose from. This list includes both Song attachments and events with the Song trait, just to … Continue reading Monthly Poll: September 2020
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. Shadows of Mirkwood cycle is mainly typical of the presence of the Core set, which is made by … Continue reading Dwarrowdelf cycle conclusion
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. So in order to properly … Continue reading Passage through Mirkwood
Is it jsut me, or did August fly by really quickly? While we are still mostly in quarantine here, I would urge everyone to stay inside and keep playing games at a comfortable distance. And with a new AP being released to the public in this month, you have more than enough reason to stay … Continue reading Month in Review: August 2020
Not only Orcs and Spiders are on Our side. If needed, We call to the battle even beasts and trolls in order to stop and destroy all Players. Instead of malevolent treacheries and exhausting locations, We send on Players the power in the form of teeth, claws and clubs. Try to stop Us, Players! Summary … Continue reading Encounter Set Review: Wilderlands
Since so many new players are joining the game these days (seriously, it's like every day I see a "Hi, I'm new" post on the forums, welcome all!), I decided to poll a common question that is asked to the community. It concerns what to buy after you buy your first Core Set. Since we … Continue reading Monthly Poll: August 2020
The Grey Mountains have been infested with orcs, goblins, and other fell creatures ever since Mount Gundabad was first sacked after the destruction of Eregion in Second Age 1697. 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
