I haven't picked up the Starter decks, and I've been doing just fine so far. I found a great core-set-only deck on ringsdb called Back To Basics that almost feels overpowered. I'm even coasting through the Angmar Campaign so far with it.

Nightmare packs make the quests very very thematic and have improved upon all the quests I have played so far. I got them *luckily* after an email went out where some former FFG employee had a warehouse for his games he was selling, and he had them all for sale at once. I think it was $600 total (I have a problem)

Great video, fella! Very condensed and informative! Sadly I used to have a master set of every single release, including the nightmares. Sold in many years ago and have regretted it ever since. Guess I'm starting over, and this was a great video for help doing that!

Do you think it is possible FFG might drop more Dark of Mirkwood packs that add quests for the less likely printed cycles?

Possible, but I would lean more to improbable unfortunately

@ryanchapman6604 Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I used to play this game way back. Did any rules change with the revised sets? Why were the sets revised to begin with? What about items to organize card storage, any recommendations on box inserts, etc?

@NelsonAllOverCards Жыл бұрын

Hey! Short answer - no rules changed. Longer answer - there were a few cards that got their traits updated and they added in a way to play campaign mode through the new released cycles, but functionally in game no rules were updated. They reprinted it to make it easier to get and more economically and ecologically friendly. It was getting very difficult to find different APs and this took everything and combined it into one box. Storage is an insane task lol I use a big white box (www.amazon.com/BCW-5000-Count-Monster-Storage-Strength/dp/B0857L4913/ref=dp_prsubs_3?pd_rd_i=B0857L4913&psc=1) with Tesseract dividers(www.tesseractgames.co.uk/lord-of-the-rings-the-card-game). This is a video on how I store Marvel Champions and it is a very similar system to what I do for LOTR if you are interested! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja1ih5l10d_Md6s.html

What if I own the original card game box? DO I sell that and get updated box? Or what would be a basic purchasing pathway?

@pixeldaydream Жыл бұрын

I bought a (legacy) core set years ago and really wanted to love it, but found the game quite tough. Hoping to get back into it now with help from the starter decks. Do you think I'll miss out on much by using the old core set? It seems like most of the cards haven't changed in the revised version?

@NelsonAllOverCards Жыл бұрын

I actually only have the old core as well. There were very very few changes (and I think all the changes may be on cards that are in the starter decks, but don’t quote me on that) and really the only difference is the number of each card. So the new core comes with at least 3 copies of each player card while the original set didn’t always do that!

@@NelsonAllOverCards Thanks! That's good to know. I'd rather keep my original set and maybe pick up some of the new packs to add to it

I found the files for PnP core set campaign cards provided by Fantasy Flight under player resources. Now what? How do I go about printing them out? Can I go to a local printing shop? How does this work?

A local shop may do it! I printed on a home computer and slid them in sleeves with an unused card. Not the nicest, but it worked!

@@andrewshaw3703 Before I answer a few questions! Which theme do you like more? Are you super interested in the deck building side of the game? LOTR is a lot harder and there is much more to learn about on the deckbuilding side of things. That being said, I think it is more satisfyingly than Marvel Champions if you put in the time to learn it! Champions is great, easy to pick up and play games, plus it is still getting new content! (There is a lot of LOTR content though so you wont run out any time soon lol)
