Over a year ago I had plans to start playing the LoTR lcg with Nathan.

But like a lot of things those plans never happened.

Since then though I have got the final part of the revised saga The Return of the King. Plus the three revised campaigns Angmar Awakened, Dream-chaser, and Ered Mithrin including the matching hero boxes.

Another expensive spin off is I have bought some of the GenCon stand alone scenarios to play. I’m not getting all of them. That’d be some serious cash splashed out. I’ve gone for the ones that interested me.

So which ones did I get?

• The Massing at Osgiliath – GenCon 2011 Scenario
• The Battle of Lake-Town (Hobbit) Scenario GenCon 2012
• The Mines of Moria – Gen Con 2019 Scenario Pack
• Escape from Khazad-Dum Custom Scenario Kit
• The Siege of Annuminas – Fellowship 2016 Scenario

Yes it’d be nice to get them all. Even better it’d have been nice for FFG to have done a box set containing them all. But that’s just a wild dream. It’s not going to happen.

There is one more I’d like Murder at the Prancing Pony, which basically makes the game into a Cluedo inspired murder mystery who done it. I’m curious as to how it plays. Does it work considering the theme?

So what of the plans hinted at in the posts title?

Well discussions have started with Marcin and Dave to gauge interest in playing through the three book sagas on a Saturday. They seem to like the idea, and interested.

So I need to select a Saturday to start the journey.

I’ll talk deck specifics in another post nearer to the start of the campaign.

In the meantime the hunt for play mats starts!
