So far the bag doesn't seem very interesting. The way I understand it it's basically a big die with special faces and, I assume, weighted chances for the rolls. It gives them more design space to do interesting things and make scenarios unique, though.

The Balrog is some bullshit and that saga quest is garbage. Lose a couple of Doom tokens to effects and might as well pack it in.

They can easily write an app (or I can easily write my own app) to simulate the bag, although there's something to be said for the physical searching for a token.

In other news I played the monster 12 person LOtR LCG: Siege of Annúminas at GenCon and got our asses handed to us twice. Both times were do to the other groups, not us though  It has some grade A bullshit cards included in the quest.

Literally The Worst posted:Man that's a cool and well thought opinion you have convinced me that this good game is actually bad I'll spell it out for you: I get where you're seeing similarities with the RPG-lite idea and locations, but that's literally as far as they go. The game is vastly different in every meaningful measure. And if you enjoy Pathfinder that's great, but it is generally not well regarded. I have quite a few "bad" games in my collection, but either myself or my playgroup likes them and that's what matters.

Pathfinder is a pretty boring card game where you have very limited decisions and influence over how the turns play out. I guess it's good if you and your friends suck at actual roleplaying and also at board games which require strategy and planning. It got a lot of press when it came out because it was less deck build-y than LotR and you had a persistent character which evolved as you played but nobody I know stuck with it long enough for that to matter. For us, it was kind of like Risk Legacy in that it had some good ideas but you were still playing a boring, random, shallow game and you knew in a few years someone smarter was going to take those good ideas and make something good (see Pandemic:Legacy).

ConfusedUs posted:I won my first Game of Thrones game against an experienced player yesterday. It felt good. I think Bara is an excellent starting faction. They have a simple gimmick that when it works can be tough to play around and don't have too many tricks but just enough to make them a little tricky to play well. Some people recommend Core Stark as a good deck to start with but I think the lack of direction hurts them because without some kind of strategy you're just hoping that you flop better dudes than your opponent and can survive his challenges better than he can survive yours.

I ran decks of most factions (haven't done a pure Tyrell, although I've done banner Tyrell) solo to get a feel for them. Bara was the most straightforward, closely followed by Greyjoy. Lannister gives me fits, both playing it and playing against it. SO many moving parts!

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/8/10/the-rains-of-castamere/ New article for the Lannister deluxe box, probably due out in the next month or so. Big impact agenda IMO, especially when combined with the fact you can pull Varys' Riddle mid-challenges and hit something sweet like Counting Coppers. Tyrell will have some really good options with it too by using it with Pulling the Strings. Do your military challenge, then Int and do a mid-challenges Marched to the Wall. After March, Tears of Lys for extra salt.

That agenda is bonkers. Really interesting way of pushing the limits with the design space. I'm torn on the new Cersei for my Lannister fealty intrigue heavy deck. I think Tywin will remain my only 7 drop and I can abuse more of the intrigue bonuses with old Cersei. Tommen is a great addition though as a 1 of I think.

GrandpaPants posted:What does the last line of Rains refers to? When would the plot leave play? I have a feeling the Agenda will need some FAQing, but my guess is that it's just future proofing. Or is there a card that forces a player to select a new plot currently which might work to counter revealed Rains Schemes? e: vvv Oh, that seems really obvious now. Right.

At the end of the round when the scheme plot would normally get discarded it doesn't go to your plot discard pile, it leaves the game. Each of your schemes are 1 time use basically.

You can't reveal them normally in the plot phase, only via intrigue challenges. They can't be revealed until you trigger the agenda, then you flip the scheme of your choice and it becomes your active plot until the end of the round, then instead of it going to your discarded plot pile it is removed from the game.

Essentially the gold and initiative are wasted on the Scheme plots - you get the When Revealed trigger, and then the claim for the rest of the round is now the Claim shown on the Scheme. The reserve also matters. Flip Valar Morghulis (with its 0 claim), then win an intrigue by 5 and replace Valar with pretty much anything. Now you have your normal 1/2 claim even for the intrigue you just won.

Éowyn/Boromir mono tactics secrecy/valour deck may be the worst thing to take against Escape from Mount Gram, but I can safely say it works! Tips: Sometimes you need to pay full price for Resourceful. Twice. 11 willpower total in a deck really isn't enough. Favor of the Valar is a good card. But the Palantir I used to hit 50 so I could attach a third Favor is better. (also see Close Call)

Lord of the Rings LCG is a great game. I just did my first attempt at Into The Pit. The very last quest phase revealed a goblin that would have had to attack me undefended, and would have killed my two remaining heroes. I was able to discard my last card in my hand to trigger Eowyn's +1 Willpower effect to clear the quest and finish the round. Certainly my most exciting finish.

Those last minute victories are the best, like when one player gets eliminated and the other manages to limp across the finish line with 48 threat. Also I put Spirit Éowyn into a deck a little while ago and realised I'd forgotten just how good she is. Same deck when building it I was going through the cards (I normally use RingsDB now) and Unexpected Courage blew my mind. Genuinely forgot it existed and haven't used it in a deck for months.

Both those cards are really great. I popped unexpected courage on Lore Denethor in my last game, which was very helpful to have him defend in a turn and be able to use his ability to manipulate the encounter deck.

With Golden Shield Spirit Eowyn can be a great quester and or an amazing defender. I almost want to say she's the best hero in the game right now.
