Posted on October 10, 2014 by

I just finished an epic 3-player game of Breaking of the Fellowship with Derek and Matthew. Though I am still not entirely sure that we played it correctly (I’ve only ever played that quest solo), it was a total blast. … Continue reading →

Deck: The Window on the West

Posted on June 30, 2014 by

I was at 48 threat, Brand was killed, and Beorn and Sam were each one hit point from death, but I was able to survive the Fords of Isen. The MVP of the game was a 7 attack 7 defense … Continue reading →
