Meditations on Dol Guldur

So, Journey Along the Anduin was a rousing success. The video of the run is posted here, and you should watch this space for an upcoming write-up in the next few days. Unfortunately, the play was marred by a small mistake right towards the end - I engaged and killed 2 Misty Mountain Goblins, but …

Deck Testing Report – Core Set

While I wait to actually get over a rather annoying cold (so that I can actually record on the narrative campaign for Journey Down the Anduin), I decided to report back on how the deck testing has been coming. So far, the results are highly encouraging. I could talk about the Passage Through Mirkwood tests, …

Agents of the White Council – Passage Through Mirkwood

The deckbuilding portion of the post is now ready for your consumption. We'll start with our primary deck, …

Agents of the White Council – Core Set Quests

Writing fiction has always come more slowly for me, and that will be on top of needing …

Agents of the White Council – The Lady of Gondor

You might have noticed this on my last post, but I finally came up with a name for the grand narrative. Agents of the White Council. I kind of like the ring it has. Maybe it's a little on the nose, but it's here to stay, so we might as well get used to it. …
