One of the rules my gaming partner and I struggle with is that once your avatar is revealed, a character must be played under DI or to your avatar's site. It seems unnecessarily restrictive that offers little to the gameplay. For experienced players, what's the point of this rule, and how is it mean...

Here's an obvious one I discovered the other day: When resolving the hazard phase for multiple companies, resolve the moving ones first. If you start by resolving the hazards for your character squatting at a haven, all you've done is give your opponent a chance to play two hazard long-events on you...

This is unreal. It looks like an actual Player's Handbook, like you'd get for a tabletop RPG from a massive company with unlimited resources.

I'm only 12 pages in and I'm already awestruck. Great work.

I'm slowly testing an "Intro Game" that takes a lot of inspiration from "Arda Revised" by Ryan Stueve. The most major change is that each card in the MP deck is paired with a specific site when the deck is built, and will always be found at that site when playing the game. The tw...

What is the proper duration of hazard long-events compared to resource long-events? A resource long-event affects all players and stays until your next turn, which of course is straightforward enough, and seems to be handled the same way regardless of if you're doing two players, the standard multip...

Still haven't gotten around to playing this variant yet (been warming my friends up with Hero Arda first), but as I've been going through the cards and rules, I noticed Black Rain was in the card list. https://i.imgur.com/n5esFY7.png How exactly have you been using this card in your games? The oppon...

If you can't play it this turn or the next, discard it. There's no sense in a "good" card clogging up your hand and keeping you from getting things you can actually use.

Ah yes, those nice PDF of mine. Just everyone be aware that the "To The East Away With Thieves" deck is based on the wrong interpretation of the card "Sun" (I didn't know better at the time...) What's the correct interpretation of it? To me, the card is pretty straightforward as...

I always love things like this (anything to get new players into the game), and your descriptions are especially detailed. Thank you!

Our latest change is to place many things that offer 1 MP point at a tapped or untapped location into their own deck that will be set up like the Roving Character deck or Minor Item deck. We call it the Minor MP deck. Hopefully this will help speed up the MPs a bit more. I'm FINALLY getting around ...

Any chance of adding the German-only promos, like Freca and Zwergenaxt?

Thanks for sharing this. Although, if memory serves, wasn't Arda always supposed to be a DC creation? The base rules document I have (v5.1) includes rules for using Cirdan, Galadriel, and Elrond as avatars, and that concept has been around for over a decade. Yet, I've never actually seen an Arda car...

Always good to see an Arda deck revised after substantial playtesting...though I can't say my wallet will be thrilled with all the new MEBA and MEAS additions to the card list. For anyone else building this, here are the changes as best as I could tell: +1 Baugúr (German Promo) +1 Freca (German Prom...

I'm currently working on a solo scenario based on the White Mithril rules here: https://lureofmiddleearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/whitemithril_en.pdf My outline for the scenario calls for a 30-card resource deck and a hazard deck at least as big (more hazards are probably better for greater v...
