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
I know I said after my Drúadan Forest review some years ago that I would never cover a quest in such a negative tone again. But boy, did I find another quest that I find unfair, and you are all here to read me whining about it.

This is no ordinary … Continue reading Nightmare Conflict at the Carrock

During the tournament in 2018 that determined the community's favourite quests at that moment, Journey along the Anduin ended in fifth place. This Core Set classic has always been a community darling, since it was the first proper challenge that we collectively faced.
