Heroes in The Redhorn Gate, Part Three

From the FFG article here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3084 “If Gandalf would go before us with a bright flame, he might melt a path for you,” said Legolas. The storm had troubled him little, and he alone of the Company remained still light of heart.   “If Elves could fly over mountains, they might fetch the Sun to save us,” answered Gandalf. “But I must have something to work on. I cannot burn snow.”   “Well,” said Boromir, “when heads are at a loss bodies must serve, as we say in my country. The strongest of us must seek a way.”    –J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship...

An Open Letter To The Publisher « Christopher Fowler’s Blog

A brilliant author nailing a horrifying media trend… An Open Letter To The Publisher « Christopher Fowler’s Blog: ‘via Blog this’ Dear Harper Collins, I see that you are to pay Amanda Knox £4 million for her memoirs. Apparently she hired a top lawyer used by Barack Obama and George W. Bush to negotiate a book deal about being jailed in Italy for her part in the murder of Meredith Kercher, a British student. I see that she will reveal ‘never before told details surrounding her case, and describe how she used her inner strength and strong family ties to... View Article

Heroes in The Redhorn Gate, Part Two

From the FFG article here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3057 “I think no good of our course from beginning to end, as you know well, Gandalf,” answered Aragorn. “And perils known and unknown will grow as we go on. But we must go on; and it is no good our delaying the passage of the mountains. Further south there are no passes, till one comes to the Gap of Rohan. I do not trust that way since your news of Saruman. Who knows which side now the marshals of the Horse-lords serve?”    “Who knows indeed!” said Gandalf. “But there is another way, and not...

Mage Knight The Board Game – Obligatory “My First Solo Conquest Post” + EuroTrash Health Warning

  I caught a bug from boardgamegeek that Mage Knight The Board Game was awesome and that I was missing out by not having it.  So I recently picked up seemingly the last UK copy of Mage Knight – I couldn’t find it anywhere.  Eventually I turned up a copy hidden in the RPG section of my FLGS where no board gamer would find it.  Or so they thought! I have to say I was disappointed when I opened the box to discover that the Torvak mini was entirely missing from the game, and that the Round Order tokens were... View Article

Heroes in The Redhorn Gate, Part One – A spotlight on the heroes of The Lord of The Rings: The Card Game

From the original FFG article here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3045 Aragorn was the tallest of the Company, but Boromir, little less in height, was broader and heavier in build. He led the way, and Aragorn followed him. Slowly they moved off, and were soon toiling heavily. In places the snow was breast-high, and often Boromir seemed to be swimming or burrowing with his great arms rather than walking.    Legolas watched them for a while with a smile upon his lips, and then he turned to the others. “The strongest must seek a way, say you? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but... View Article

Drizzt Vs Strahd – The Hunt For Strahd Part 2

Drizzt and Artemis and Vs Count Strahd – The Hunt For Strahd Part 2 We have played a LOT of the D&D Adventure System.  But I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve lost to this scenario.  Actually I can: every time we’ve played it.  But this time we were determined to defeat the evil Count.  So much so, in fact, that we also agreed to follow the adventure book’s advice for when you’re feeling down and take three healing surges with us instead of two.  Two surges is just never enough for this high level scenario.  Especially when...
