I thought for sure Eomer was given a shield in this Rohan shieldwall scenario. Feel like that’s an oversight by the writers.

Possibly. I know he lost his shield at some point during the fight at least in the movies but at this time I cannot recall if it fits with this scenario or not

Given the importance of Gandalf in these storylines and the inability of tin cans to kill, I’d like to experiment with a +1 to fight value or banner re-roll special rule for Gandalf. Maybe start at a 3” bubble and see if that gives more of a fighting chance

Once again showing how rough Courage checks are. So many orks just ran away this episode, lol. Generally maybe not the most interesting one to watch so far, due to it just turning into the good guys scratching Sauron's Armour while he also couldn't manage to kill as much as he should've. Though the ending was very nice, with everyone who died dying and Elrond landing the final blow.

Welcome aboard! 😊 340 ish episodes to catch up on. Hope you can forgive our technical prowess (or lack thereof) in the first 50 episodes or so. It took some time before we got additional dice tray cameras and my editing skills got better. Please comment on the episodes you watch. It's such a nostalgia pop for us to see what people enjoyed about our work, especially these episodes. They are about 8 years old at this point. We have a theoretical end date on our campaign where the hobbits come back to the shire around March 2025. Do you take the challenge to get ajour before the end. About one episode a day?

I’ve played this one before and I’m not wild on it. It’s very swingy and like this game seems to be very short and not very reflective of the book/film. Some of the scenario rules are good, but I agree that the auto wound with Sting mixed with Shelob not being able to spend will can make this a bit one sided to the good player. They can just might their way to a win and wait for Shelob to fail the courage check. Maybe throwing Gollum in would have altered it but maybe that would have swung it too far towards the evil player… I personally would change the objective of the scenario to the ring bearer (be it Frodo or Sam) leaving the Eastern board edge. Instead of auto wounding, Sting has Spiders-bane (which I think it should have anyway…) which makes it harder to score a wound but can cause more damage and force more courage checks out of Shelob. Lastly instead of fleeing entirely when wounded, Shelob is redeployed to either the North on South board edge and re-enters the following evil move like a reinforcement. It would give the good player some breathing space to continue moving off. But her movement means she would be pouncing on them within a turn or two, which would be a better reflection of a giant predator hunting them. Gollum could be used by the evil player to hold them in place. Still, nice report, look forward to the next one.
