Nightmare The Morgul Vale

When you read the flavor text before and after this scenario in the rule sheets, you learn that our heroes actually do get nightmares from the base scenario of that quest. It is not often that they are disturbed by things, but the memory of Minas Morgul under the full moon haunts them a bit … Continue reading Nightmare The Morgul Vale →

Return to Mirkwood

The final scenario of the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle is where things get a bit crazy. Not only is this the first time players have to traverse 4 quest stages, but they have to do so with Gollum kicking and screaming like a 4-year-old who got told that they can't have all the candy from … Continue reading Return to Mirkwood →

The Dead Marshes

The fifth adventure pack of the first cycle takes us to the Dead Marshes. This will not be the last time we visit this place in the game, but for now, we do not have to worry about the undead residing here. We are here to finally capture Gollum, who is trying to escape us … Continue reading The Dead Marshes →

A Journey to Rhosgobel

After having been away so long from the blog, you'd expect me to rush in with a nice and easy article discussing some quests that are beloved by the community. You know, the simple stuff. But noooo, SOMEONE (me from 4 months ago) decided that Journey to Rhosgobel should be next! So today, we'll be … Continue reading A Journey to Rhosgobel →

Nightmare Encounter at Amon Din

When the Against the Shadow cycle was first released, many players were stomped by the great difficulty of the scenarios compared to previous cycles. But then, along came Encounter at Amon Din: an easy scenario that most players are able to beat in under 5 turns without too much trouble. It still ranks as one … Continue reading Nightmare Encounter at Amon Din →

Conflict at the Carrock

This quest has a special place on the blog, as it was the very first article ever released that was not written by me. Bgamerjoe took up the challenge when I asked around the community all those years ago and created a pretty solid analysis of the quest. Still, in order to bring this quest … Continue reading Conflict at the Carrock →

The Hunt for the Dreadnaught

In December 2020, the community got a nice surprise from FFG. Since the GenCon of that year could not be held due to the pandemic, FFG could not release their GenCon-exclusive scenario that year. And with no Fellowship events being held in that year either, they needed to publish their quest in one way or … Continue reading The Hunt for the Dreadnaught →

The Land of Sorrow

Being so close to the end of this cycle, I cannot help but draw parallels with traditional PokĂ©mon games. Before you face the champion of this region, you must first defeat the Elite Four. Well, in this scenario, you are facing the Elite Three, which are three boss-level enemies that are very difficult to defeat. … Continue reading The Land of Sorrow →

Nightmare Road to Rivendell

When opening this pack, you might be surprised to see no extra copies of Sleeping Sentry in this pack. Still, this more difficult version of the infamous Road to Rivendell quest will be quite the challenge for everyone. The focus this time is more aimed towards the Ambush keyword, and the quest throws a replacement … Continue reading Nightmare Road to Rivendell →

The Battle of Lake-town

"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"The Hobbit If you decide to play The Hobbit saga expansions, there is a great slot between the scenario of The Lonely Mountain and The Battle of Five … Continue reading The Battle of Lake-town →
