LOTR:LCG I have Core, Black Riders, Heirs of Numenor and the entire Against the Shadow cycle's worth of APs, and a couple assorted APs (Foundations of Stone, Journey of Rhosgobel). Is an outlands-centered leadership-mono deck the best possible deck here, with Hirluin, Aragorn, and then ??? (Boromir? Not much Gondor synergy, mostly just Outlands). How well does a Hobbitty-deck do outside of BR? What colors work best with a Hobbity deck? I mean Sam seems like a given, Merry seems like a beatstick (especially with Frodo in BR), but Pippin or Fatty or alternate-Pippin as a 3rd?

ChiTownEddie posted:I'd vote not to worry about it too much except don't just get Heirs of Numenor first (cause I hear its super hard if you have a limited pool of cards). I started with Khazad-dum and Dwarrowdelf cycle because it was what was in stock when I wanted more quests. Working though it now, so far I am enjoying it quite a bit. I've got the Heirs of Numenor and Against the Shadow cycle in full, along with the base, Black Riders, and a couple other APs from Mirkwood/Dwarrodelf. I've made a nice Outlands deck (I think!), but unless I get those +willpower outlands allies, I absolutely need a partner who can quest worth a drat. I think it's possible to make decks, but they're probably best off being combat focused. I'm investigating a ranger/trapping deck possibility, low threat, good questing, and knocking creatures out via traps. It sounds like a fun idea that HoN helps push. Not sure about viability.

ChiTownEddie posted:In LotR LCG does "Active location" also refer to quest card if you don't have a location? I believe that's correct.

jivjov posted:So mono-tactics is hard mode? That may explain why the second quest of the core box is kicking my teeth in so hard. Absolutely. Mono tactics has almost no questing ability. You can kill stuff, but locations piling up in the staging area will drive you threat to 50 pretty fast. The best core-only mono-deck combo in my view is spirit/leadership. One person on spirit, questing, while leadership kills stuff.

Nibble posted:It does work the other way around though, right? Like Legolas says to put tokens on the current quest, but if there's an active location they go there instead. Crap that's what I was thinking of. Yeah, active location is active location.

ChiTownEddie posted:WELP. My outlands deck is too slow to build up questing strength. Right now it's Hirluin, Theodred, and either Boromir (lower threat) or Aragorn (ready-ready!). If I don't get a couple of those +spirit outlands guys early, then I pretty much get overloaded with threat by most quests' openings. Soloing is hard

So I think my Steward's Fear AP was missing two cards, two outlands ally cards (the +spirit and +attack ones). I only have 2/3 of each of those two. Is that, uh, commonplace?

I played one game ever, and I've searched top to bottom to try to figure out where I might have misplaced them. At the time I think I noted it was odd that it seemed I had fewer of them, but I was new enough to the game where I wasn't really paying attention to the fact there should have been 3. I'm asking if anyone's known of APs being shorted because if not the probable alternative is that I DID somehow lose them despite never taking them out of my apartment, only using them once, and having searched it up and down for those two cards.

Jedit posted:If you only have two of any Fellowship card then you're missing some, because there are three of each in every AP. Shadow it's harder to tell because they vary. I know there are supposed to be 3. That's why only having two is frustrating, especially since I wanted to make an outlands deck. Guess I'm buying another Steward's Fear AP :\

Epi Lepi posted:Nah, what he said was that the movies influenced how we all think of some things and his example was Moria. If you ask anyone their quintessential Moria experience would involve waves of goblins, but that's not really what happened in the books, it's just a movie thing. He didn't say anything about rights to the films. It's a dense read that takes a lot of effort to keep mentally fluid. On the other hand, listening to it on audiobook is astounding. I can't recommend a good audiobook of LotR enough. Made my commute wonderful and really provided imagery that had escaped me in the past when I'd read (made Tom Bombodil better, made their flight in the night clearer, the geography of Helm's deep made more sense...basically everything was better thanks to having someone speak versus having to read).
