In a previous post I mentioned I had bought a few of the LotR lcg standalone scenarios that were done for Gen Con.

I did end up splashing out for the Murder at the Prancing Pony scenario, plus one or two others. The full list of new arrivals is the following:

• Murder at the Prancing Pony – Fellowship 2015 Scenario
• The Wizard’s Quest – Gen Con 2018
• The Woodland Realm – Fellowship 2018 Scenario
• The Hunt for the Dreadnaught – PoD 2020
• The Old Forest – Gen Con 2014
• Fog on the Barrow-downs Fellowship 2014 Scenario
• Attack on Dol Guldur – Fellowship 2017 Scenario

The last three have only just been purchased and will arrive before the week is out.

What this means is that I’m two short of having all the standalone scenarios.

A situation I hadn’t planned on being in.

But now the completionist in me is whispering “go on you might as well get them all”.

These do make great one off game night scenarios.

I’ve played two of them now on our lcg/ccg/tcg club night. Murder at the Prancing Pony was fun but we ran out of time the evening we played it. We nearly played The Battle of Lake-Town last Tuesday (there is no write up of this evening) but the Dunedain deck I was playing that evening was a very poor match up for this scenario. Instead we went with The Massing at Osgiliath.

The Massing at Osgiliath kicked our butt twice that evening. In the first attempt I lost a hero in the first round! We quickly reset a couple of rounds later when it was clear we were doomed.

The second attempt we did a lot better but in the end we were defeated.

A plan that formed in my mind is to add the Old Forest and Fog on the Barrow-Downs to the campaign when we start The Fellowship of the Ring saga. They apparently fit in nicely in telling the story of the first book.

Just need to set up when to start the campaign.
