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...

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

The Long Dark of Moria

It was after nightfall when they had entered the Mines. They had been going for several hours with only brief halts, when Gandalf came to the first serious check. Before him stood a wide arch opening into three passages: all led in the same general direction, eastwards; but the left-hand passage plunged down, while the right-hand climbed up, and the middle way seemed to run on, smooth and level but very narrow.    –The Fellowship of the Ring Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of The Long Dark, the fourth harrowing Adventure Pack in the Dwarrowdelf cycle for The Lord of...

Open Wide the Gates of Moria

Fantasy Flight Games [News] – Open Wide the Gates of Moria: “It is now many years ago,” said Glóin, “that a shadow of disquiet fell upon our people. Whence it came we did not at first perceive. Words began to be whispered in secret: it was said that we were hemmed in a narrow place, and that greater wealth and splendour would be found in a wider world. Some spoke of Moria: the mighty works of our fathers that are called in our own tongue Khazad-dûm; and they declared that now at last we had the power and numbers to... View Article

The Treacherous Dark of Khazad-dûm

Original article here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=2896 Without any light they would have soon come to grief. There were not only many roads to choose from, there were also in many places holes and pitfalls, and dark wells beside the path in which their passing feet echoed. There were fissures and chasms in the walls and floor, and every now and then a crack would open right before their feet.    –The Fellowship of the Ring, “A Journey in the Dark” In The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R.

The Watcher in the Water

From the original article here:  http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=2883 Frodo felt something seize him by the ankle, and he fell with a cry. Bill the pony gave a wild neigh of fear, and turned tail and dashed away along the lakeside into the darkness. Sam leaped after him, and then hearing Frodo’s cry he ran back again, weeping and cursing. The others swung round and saw the waters of the lake seething, as if a host of snakes were swimming up from the southern end.    –The Fellowship of the Ring Elrond, the Elf Lord of Rivendell, is troubled by the great numbers of...

From the original article here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=2860 Gimli aided Gandalf very little, except by his stout courage.
