I organise my player cards by sphere, type, uniqueness, cost and then alphabetically. Is that too much?

theroachman posted:There shouldn't be any shifting involved, just sort by set, sphere, type, name. You'll have gaps but it's super comfortable to find your cards quickly after online deckbuilding. Yeah, I was more concerned about ease of introducing friends/letting them build stuff on the spot sans ringsdb, but maybe I'll just do this anyway. What kind of pockets etc do you use, given that there are 3-4 sleeved cards per pocket?

You know, the "Noldor" trait is actually totally wrong because Noldor is the plural form of (a single) Noldo, which can be described with the adjective Noldorin ...I've wasted my life.

I just pretend the game takes place in a fantasy world that just happens to share large numbers of names and places with LOTR.

Flight of the Stormcaller is pretty wild. Took my Galdor/Grima/Celebrimbor Silvan deck against it and came within a hair of beating it. Didn't draw a single copy of O Lórien! all game which kinda made a huge difference. Managed to go through about two thirds of my deck, including triggering Galdor's ability near the end. The quest has a really good flow to it, it's another slam dunk of design. You're racing after The Stormcaller through storms and jagged reefs, trying to either catch or destroy it. It uses it's own quest deck that starts at Stage 2, and whenever you're at the same Stage number you can fight it. After a slow start I managed to mostly keep pace through standard Silvan bouncy stuff and sank a couple small boats but never fought the thing itself. Eventually at 47 threat with The Stormcaller one progress away from escaping, I could only bring about two thirds of the willpower needed to catch it. By this point it had picked up a small escort of two other ships, so mathematically I couldn't beat it.

The wife and I FINALLY managed to beat Journey Down the Anduin tonight. It took five tries to finally best the scenario and we managed to do it with a modified version of the Path of Beorn core decks. I had to take out Gimli and replace him with a lower threat alternative so we had a couple of more turns to prepare for the Hill Troll. The final stage of the quest almost overwhelmed us when we flipped four enemies in the staging area and there were already two there. All six enemies engaged us that turn and we only managed to take them out by using a combination of feint, swift strike, and sneak attack to mitigate much of the initial damage. I realize that I am like 5 years behind everyone else on this but it's pretty satisfying to finally have won. Next up is the final core set quest (The necromancer kidnap party member one) before we move on to the Mirkwood Adventure Decks. Hekk fucked around with this message at 13:53 on May 13, 2016 |

Sticking with each quest until you defeat it is probably not the most enjoyable way to play this game--be prepared to hit some brick walls immediately followed by cakewalks.

This is what I'm doing with my wife too. But we're starting with the Saga Expansions first to give us some more options up front. That is if we ever beat the Core Set..

People can play however they find it most fun, of course. Personally, if I have a tough time with a scenario, I'd rather draw from a larger pool of cards to build a better regulation-size deck than switch to Easy Mode or use a 30-card deck--winning with those variants feels unsatisfying. And maybe this is because I've played too many RPGs and MMOs, but when I run up against a quest that keeps defeating me I like being able to switch to an easier one, then come back to the tough one later.

Is that confirmed somewhere? I always thought the golden rule of LCGs was "card text trumps the rule book", so if it says "place on current quest," it means current quest.

Plus, they were just clarifying the rulebook, which states, regarding the active location: "Any progress tokens that would be placed on a quest card are instead placed on the active location." So the card text still executes, but in the context of the rules.

Battle of the Trident Announced for A Game of Thrones Sounds like something similar to the Chronos Protocol tournament for Netrunner. This time deciding between 3 new Agenda cards. Which sounds like they'll be something along the lines of "Your deck may include Knights of any faction", "Your deck may include Armies of any Faction" and "your deck may include Maesters of any faction". Those aren't the final text as noted but sure makes it sound like that's the plan. Right now, Knights may have a pretty strong advantage there. Votes are caster for paritcating, winning, and tweeting for the different Agendas in November. Alt art participation card is Summons, and there's a Red Keep playmat for the winner of these special events that looks pretty cool.

I really would love an Army-centric agenda to come out of this, because I'm already swimming in desire to build an Army deck and that would actually make it feasible...but chances are Knights are going to kill this thing. Surprising number of Maester supporters in the FB communities too, I noticed.

I'm torn. I don't care about armies too much but I can see with that agenda and some of the plots out there how they could be really good (especially that army plot that raises claim by 1) I would love for a Maester one because having Cressen in a deck would be awesome but I think it would be weakest due to not enough good Maesters. Knights is probably my #1 though because I run a knights deck for multiplayer and it would probably give some characters like Rodrik an actual use for me.

It's very possible for players to also rally against a choice for being too good. The Collective in Netrunner was too bonkers to see print.
