The Nîn-in-Eilph

This quest is in my eyes the most frustrating of the cycle, and many players tend to agree with that. Even much so, that just mentioning Nin sends shivers down the spines of many players who have been stuck in this marsh for 12 turns, only to be eaten by the boss shortly after. This … Continue reading The Nîn-in-Eilph →

The Ring Goes South

It has been decided. A fellowship will set out from Rivendell to deliver the One Ring to its destruction in the cracks of Mount Doom.

Peril in Pelargir

As we start the new cycle, the narrative of the game picks up as well. We will now get full chapters of non-canon flavour text to inform the players of their tasks and gives a bit of backstory to the quest. It is with that knowledge that we come to Gondor, the port-city of Pelargir … Continue reading Peril in Pelargir →
