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.

It has been one of my favorites 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 bumps up this quest's difficulty … Continue reading Nightmare The Dread Realm
You survive the flood inside Mines of Moria, but you now face the greatest danger you have ever met. Durin's Bane. That name and his terrifying roar will resonate in your ears for the whole adventure. His strength and evil will outdo everything you have experienced until now.

While it seems like forever since this pack got announced and the community lost its collective mind over the contract, the day has finally come for me to open the pack and play with its contents.
