Fantasy Quest has landed!

I’ve just printed and cut out 352 cards and their backs too.  My hands and eyes are killing me, my scissors are blunt, and I need to pick up about 400 card sleeves tomorrow!  Couple of minor errors here and there, rules need going over with a fine toothed comb/paint roller, but it’s looking sweeeeet.  Hopefully post some photos once it’s set up for the first game ever…

NinjaDorg’s Scenario 6: Branching Paths – Hunt for Gollum alternative quest

I dispensed with the sepia flavour text card sides this time.  I developed this extra long quest a while back, but held off on finishing it until the new Gollum cards arrived, and the Clue mechanic ties into it nicely.I think that this ‘branching paths’ idea is probably something FFG have already considered as there are hints of it in the Mirkwood quest, but I’m not sure how cost effective it would be for them to pursue – people might complain that they’re not getting as many hero/encounter cards instead.  In any case, hopefully the difficulty of this quest is...
