Mine are one-sided only, but on the other hand they are cheaper to print. Your call.

I have a cardboard card box for each sphere, but I'm probably going to switch to binders. It'll just be so much easier to track down a specific card than inside the box (which is already sorted by type and cost). Flight of the Stormcaller is available at CSI!

Just put in an order at PrinterStudio.com using the templates from BGG. I went with the "premium" linen-textured thicker cards. $22 shipped for the player cards, Mirkwood cycle, Dwarrowdelf cycle, and Against the Shadow cycle dividers isn't too bad. That'll keep me in business for a good long while.

Holy crap! Last night I was playing the first quest in the Grey Havens with my own modified version of this deck. ...It might be the most fun deck I've ever played. http://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/818/everything-costs-2-1.0 Seastan is the god of LOTR deck construction. Also I have to say, I am enjoying this game even more now that I take ideas from netdecks and modify them to my playstyle/tastes.

How does Elven-light work there? Does it get trashed after you play it?

Meanwhile, I'm certain I'd enjoy the LOTR LCG way more if it had no deckbuilding.  I just want something a bit more complex than the WHQ ACG.

Just netdeck something good and never change decks. That's what the folks I play with do.

StashAugustine posted:How does Elven-light work there? Does it get trashed after you play it? Nope. While in your hand you can't play it. When it is in your discard pile you pay 1 Spirit Ressource to get it back into your hand and then draw a card. But it is amazing as long as you have a way to discard it.

You can throw every Outlands card into a deck then only have to add a handful of cards and you have a viable Deck. Outlands was made for people who played the game but didn't like deck building.

In my limited experience so far it seems perfectly viable to netdeck if you don't enjoy deck building. I have pretty limited play time these days so I've been netdecking in order to maximize actually play time vs. prep time.

I've been following the Deckbuilding blog at Hall of Beorn or whatever it's called, and I just threw together the decks he proposed, and played them generally the way he said to, and I've been having a blast.

COOL CORN posted:Searching RingsDB, there's only like 10 cards that have the Outlands trait? I mean...yeah...but if you put in 1% effort you can make that into a deck. The outlands "pre-made" deck comments are about how they are a cheap, self pumping, and contained trait. Slap sneak attack + gandalf, steward of gondor, and 2 more heroes in there and it really is ...a deck.

Holy poo poo that discard deck is hilarious. As long as you hit a miner early you get to burn through your deck like mad and poo poo out cheap chumps like it's nothing. It's like playing MaxX in Netrunner.

My FLGS only has the LOTR LCG Mirkwood cycle packs. I'm thinking of getting one of them, which has the most fun quest or the better balance between quest/cards?

Escape from Dol Guldur isn't that hard. You just Forest Snare Ungoliant's Spawn and the Nazgul and... what do you mean it's been errata'ed? gently caress. In any case, the way I'm playing, the moment a "guardian" card leaves it's place in the staging area (engaging an enemy, travelling to a location, or flipping a treachery card during the setup), I can access the objective card. Is that right?

As far as I understand it you have to kill or get rid of the enemy via card effects/explore the location or get rid of it via card effects before you can claim an objective. Just enganging an enemy or travelling to a location is not enough. If a treachery comes up as the guard you just do what the card tells you to and then you should be able to claim the objective as the treachery doesn't attach itself to objective. Edit: Just checked the rule book and I'm pretty sure that you have to get rid of the guard via killing/exploring/other card effects Selecta84 fucked around with this message at 08:51 on May 6, 2016 |

Dol Guldur is way easier than Anduin provided the initial draw doesn't screw you over. I don't think I've ever not one-shot the Nazgul once it finally comes into play.

It works oretty well. You can two hand if you open up two octgns and uh play local i forget what its called. Sometimes finicky

Oh and if you do two hand that way you open each olayers deck in their own instance of the game. BUT, you can take control of both decks in one instance by right clicking. Have to do deck discard heroes and hand and then you can do it all on one screen.

Baron Porkface posted:So all 4 trolls show up regardless of how many players? Yeah, the only thing that scales for that quest is the number of Sacked! cards that get shuffled in. The quest teaches you about pacing, since the trolls don't show up until you pass the first quest stage. If you make progress too quickly, you won't have enough combat allies in play / events in hand, and you get hosed. You'll also want to keep your threat below 34 so you can engage the trolls one at a time. Also Grimbeorn is

A Journey to Rhosgobel, or, the half-dead halfling hero: I nearly table wiped after Theodred and Eowyn took Exhaustion followed by Festering Wounds a round later, but I decided "what the hell" and pushed on with only Bilbo. Fortunately, I already had Unexpected Courage on him (and had used it to claim both of the Athelas objectives that were in the staging area), and I had managed to get Radagast and Escort from Edoras into play before the disaster. Naturally, Bilbo got Caught in a Web, like an idiot, but I already had Unexpected Courage on him so they kind of evened out. I had to take an undefended attack from Black Forest Bats (thankfully with no bonus attack from the shadow effect), leaving Bilbo at 1 health. The next round, I was able to Lore of Imladris 5 wounds off of Wilyador, quest with everyone, and clear Stage 2.

I'm guessing all players are going to have to coordinate ahead of time what kind of decks they will make, since there is no way that 12 random decks won't have quite a lot of conflicting unique cards.
