I added a turn analysis for this player...glimpses on the ability to move and play all resources
in the first 24 turns.
Hurog will have a few CvCC in the second deck due to playing Honey and Smoke on the Wind
in Anduin Vales.

Ally Cave Troll was removed for the new spirit-magic event Familiar. SulferSpawn, Spider of Morlat as an ally, was considered. The updated file has a turn-by-turn expectations for each company. The Mouth is busy with playing factions for the first 20 turns. Keep him out of CvCC unless SulferSpawn is...

I updated the file. I added the turn-by-turn expectations for each company to gauge
if the player can do all that he wants. Dragonhelm of Uon was removed.

How many players did participate in the tournament? IIRC, there were 17 players. I took home last place! Lessons Learned: 1. Buy those nifty sleeves with a colored back for easy shuffling 2. Do not share cards between decks, so you do not forget to put in your avatar cards 3. Do build and playtest ...

What I try to do for my own sake is to make a decision quickly on what to discard or
fetch. Too many good cards in hand? Tough. Discard one and move on. Be like Aragorn II
with the palantir.

Nice to hear of the One Ring with Gandalf. Is there any house rules variant that allows using the One Ring so to keep it in play longer for more fun? That is if the player taps characters to support the CC with a bonus not +1 but plus the taping characters mind, then that will allow the One Ring to ...

This was my first tournament and my non-palantir using game of MECCG (not using technology of long-distance communication) since the 1990s. It showed in my poor decision making with the speed of the game and card memory too such as Trouble on All Borders. I made my resource decks on the plane ride. ...

I played a casual ARDA game on Saturday night; since this was not part of the tournament I placed this story here. Overall, I like ARDA. Hope to see it continue. It is better than FATE that no new cards or complex rules are needed. Here is my experience in that game of five. My roll was low for the ...

This was my first tournament. I had fun. Well organized and friendly; just left my cards out and went to bed. Lesson Learn: If there is any issue of a card's effect than ask an expert before the game and not during. I got a tiff when I read Trouble on All Borders wrong and Alone and Unadvised incorr...

To the thread above I do not know about deciding over one game or the other. I like to play as much as possible. Dumb Question but it will help with the amount I am packing: Will bath towels be provided? I know this is a mansion and not a hotel, but packing bath towels will take up space in my singl...

Thank you for the praise Thorsten. Those that made the Dream cards and those that will play this game at Worlds or on GCCG are those I praise. Praise for the praise worthy is high indeed! I recall the complex themes in Great Wyrms, but it has been simplified. I could not have helped much. I enjoy wr...

Thank you for the help and webspace. I learned today that I cannot upload Word files, of the FATE game, on this forum. Is uploading allowed with the new server? I get an error message stating upload failed to such-and-such folder. Thank you. May your hearth be warm and beer cold upon your return hom...

With the move of the entire website the documents for FATE were abandoned on the old server.
Give me some time to upload them all. I will do so before I update other changes so you know what is new.
I will write another message when the old files are up.

Minor changes.
I made this player an avatar Grey Player, so the event Dark Dwarves was modified.

Changes include:
added Lore of the RIngs for simple ring tests and another poison.
Company were slightly changed due to changes in DI use.

The resource deck had slight changes: add Knowledge of Their Making mainly for the stage points, add Great Army of the North The hazard deck is now finished. You guessed it. Trolls; 18 creatures. Hazard events include site hazards such as Siege. No Way Forward is in the sideboard for use during the ...
