The Temple of Doom

"Thanks for taking on Temple of Doom! Feel free to sprinkle it with Indiana Jones references!". Those were the words of my editor and our graceful host, Durin's Father, when I told him that I would be taking on this beast of a quest. Yours truly is no novice to the art of writing a … Continue reading The Temple of Doom →

Nightmare The Dread Realm

This is the conclusion of the Angmar Awakened cycle and a strangely controversial quest. 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 →

Beneath the Sands

The very first encounter card revealed by the vast majority of players of this game is the Forest Spider. Ever since then, Spiders have appeared in over half the cycles of the game, establishing them as one of the premier enemies in the game, after the unmatched Orcs and their ever present supporting Wargs. And … Continue reading Beneath the Sands →

Mount Gundabad

This is it. You traveled through the wilds of Rhovanion, hunted down a cold-drake in the Withered Heath, protected a town from a dragon, fought against ancient spirits in Framsburg and claimed the sword Wormsbane to finally defeat Dagnir, one of the most dangerous dragons since Smaug was killed. But the sword you found was … Continue reading Mount Gundabad →

The Withered Heath

Even further north than the cold reaches of Erebor and Dale, there is a split in the Grey Mountains. Between this fork of the mountain range, a valley is created that was once inhabited by the Longbeards. But dragons came from the far north and settled in this valley, burning the Dwarves down to Erebor … Continue reading The Withered Heath →

The King’s Quest

It is a custom for the third quest of each Deluxe box to be the most difficult of the three. Look at Escape from Dol Guldur, Raid on the Grey Havens, and Deadmen's Dike as examples. The Wilds of Rhovanion Deluxe's third quest has you explore the mines of the Iron Hills, where rumour has … Continue reading The King’s Quest →

The Caves of Nibin-Dûm

You have chased the Goblins through Mirkwood, and into their caves. However, the caves go on, deeper into the ground, into a forgotten dwarf-realm. You light a torch and press on, eager to fulfil the oath you swore to the Woodsmen. But as you venture into the depths of dim caverns, you realize that the … Continue reading The Caves of Nibin-Dûm →

The Drowned Ruins

After finding your way to the Temple of the Deceived in the previous scenario, you are faced with a long cave system that has large portions underwater. This starts off one of the easier quests in the cycle, that has a pretty standard strategy in order to beat it. That doesn't mean it isn't fun … Continue reading The Drowned Ruins →

Fog on the Barrow Downs

"Keep to the green grass. Don't you go a-meddling with old stone or cold Wights or prying in their houses, unless you be strong folk with hearts that never falter!" ~Tom BombadilWith this sage advice and a clap on the shoulder, the hobbits are sent on their way from Tom Bombadil's house. They had survived … Continue reading Fog on the Barrow Downs →
