Homebrew: A Little Help from our Friends

Posted on February 12, 2021 by Beorn

Readers enjoyed my last round of custom cards, so I’ve decided to design a few more. I’m continuing where I left off, designing allies cards for characters who are (mostly) featured as heroes. Unique allies fill an important role in … Continue reading →

Alternate Art: Magali Villeneuve

Posted on May 30, 2016 by Beorn

The physical constraints of a card game mean that amazing artwork is hidden on small cards. With many talented artists contributing to this game, it is shame to have beautiful images limited to 3.5 by 2.5 inches. With the promotional … Continue reading →

Deck: Refuge at Henneth Annûn

Posted on August 16, 2015 by Beorn

The work put before Faramir and his rangers of Ithilien was nigh impossible. Tasked with holding off the onslaught of the Dark Lord’s forces from Mordor into Osgiliath, they were sorely undermanned. The still proud people of Gondor lay directly in … Continue reading →

Deck: Champion of Gondor

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Beorn

Deck: For the Shire!

Posted on March 26, 2015 by Beorn

“Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!” Then Merry heard in all sounds of the hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. “But no living man … Continue reading →

Session Report: Breaking of the Fellowship Did Not Break the Grey Company

Posted on October 10, 2014 by Beorn

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 →

Posted on August 11, 2014 by Beorn

Another year has flown by, and it is once again time for my pilgrimage to the far-off kingdom of Indianapolis. The convocation of nerd-wizards always brings some surprises, and an early look at the latest expansions for our fair game. Best of … Continue reading →
