The Wastes of Eriador

The Wastes of Eriador kicks off the Angmar Awakened cycle with a pretty long, challenging, and aggressive scenario. The story so far is that your heroes have aided a Dunedain by the name of Iarion to help ambush a war party of orcs headed for Bree-land. Upon successful ambush and pursuit of survivors into the … Continue reading The Wastes of Eriador →

First Impressions: Roam Across Rhovanion

Last weekend at Con of the Rings, the new Adventure Pack of the Ered Mithrin cycle dropped. It was available for purchase by every attendee of the Con, a few days before general release.

Con of the Rings 2018: Experiences and memories

Back in early July, the team behind the Con of the Rings came forward and announced that they would be starting a Kickstarter to see if they could host a convention about the cardgame in the Fantasy Flight Center.

Vision of the Palantir Swag 2018

It is custom for members of the community to give something back to their respective supporters, and I wanted to do something for you as well. With the upcoming Con of the Rings event in October, I decided back in July that I wanted to make my own custom loot for my Patreon supporters and … Continue reading Vision of the Palantir Swag 2018 →

Staples: Healing

In this game, your characters are expected to get a couple of wounds on them as the scenario progresses. In order to prevent your characters from dying to these wounds, you can heal them. From the early days of the Core Set, there have been many cards that allow players to discard damage tokens on … Continue reading Staples: Healing →

Deadmen’s Dike

The final quest of the Deluxe box takes place in the ruins of Fornost, where the Rangers are taken by surprise by a hoard of Undead. This quest is unique as players can now also be eliminated when their deck runs out of cards. To make this a real threat, the encounter deck focuses on … Continue reading Deadmen’s Dike →

Ranger

Not all traits in the game depict what race a character is, or to what faction he/she belongs. There are a couple that also denotes what the occupation of the character is. Four of these occupational traits have been widely expanded upon and have been linked with a certain sphere. This began in the Dream-chaser … Continue reading Ranger →

Month in Review: September 2018

Can't believe another month has gone by so fast again. The blog is already 9 months old and I'm still in cycle 5. At least the news out of FFG has been slow, so I should be catching up to recent content within a year. This month has been a bit of an organized mess, … Continue reading Month in Review: September 2018 →

With the blog dipping its toe into the Angmar Awakened cycle this month, I wanted to know which of 9 quests rank among the favourites for the community. The cycle introduced the concept of side-quests, and several scenarios play around this. With only 9 options to choose from, I decided to give everyone 2 votes, … Continue reading Monthly Poll: September 2018 →
