In Lord of the Rings, I had a few solo runs at some of the Children of Eorl quests for ALEP: I’ve been really enjoying the Last Alliance of Beornings and Rohirrim using the contract from the same box, but haven’t properly explored the new traps/Restricted attachments tech from the box.

Jack will just be sleeping things off in the corner…Īrkham Horror saw the first release in the new format, as the 5 investigators and the many, many player-cards from the Edge of the Earth arrived – I can see it taking quite some time to digest all of these, but we’re doing our best: we started the waking side of our 4-player Dreamlands campaign, using entirely Edge of the Earth investigators, and I also started a new Dunwich Legacy campaign where Simon is playing Lily ( although I’m playing Winnie, who isn’t new, and only went to the Clover Club to cheat at Blackjack…) the 2-player Return to TFA campaign that George and I have been going through has got a bit side-tracked: on the plus side, Stella & Jim stopped the War of the Outer gods from destroying the world, but we should probably hurry up and actually find our way back to Mexico sometime soon. The Rest of the LifeĪside from those two mammoth Friday nights, September generally was another strong month for the LCGs – Marvel Champions was my most-played game again, with 12 sessions, as I got to grips with the Nebula hero and took another run at some of the Mad Titan’s Shadow villains, although Thanos himself remains undefeated. By this time, another couple of tables had managed to get into gear (the investigators at the 4 th table were all long-dead), and the last big push fell agonisingly short of finishing the creature off.Įven pre-Pandemic, evenings out gaming have been pretty rare, thanks to the small child in the house, but thanks to some visiting grandparents, it was nice to get out and game with other people again. Sadly, it was not our most successful confrontation with the Blob – for the first hour or so of the evening, it felt like our table was the only one actually doing any damage to The Blob, and that led to some risky decisions, which combined with some really bad luck (an ill-timed weakness and a worse-timed Tentacle) to see my Tommy, our chief fighter, KO-ed and the rest of the team also having to sacrifice themselves in the final round in an attempt to finish off the Blob. Sadly, what it doesn’t come with, is the 2 copies of the quest that you’d need for 4 of you to actually play in 2v2 mode! ( This was doubly annoying, as I already have a copy of the quest at home, and could have brought an extra copy with me if I’d thought about it). The kit comes with some very nice threat dials, card boxes and full-art heroes for everyone taking part, as well as 1 copy per 4 players of the absolutely beautiful Balrog playmat, which has been going for silly money on eBay and the like.
With the gradual lifting of restrictions, we’re finally at a point where our Friendly semi-Local Games Shop could put on events using the organised play kits from 2020, and we managed to make it along for some Lord of the Rings and some Arkham.įor Lord of the Rings, it was Escape From Khazad-Dum, one of the 2v2 quests, where you build an encounter set from a selection of available modules and hope that it takes the opposing team longer to beat than it takes you to beat the deck that they’ve put together. There were also nice alt-art cards, but those have been filed away, and it felt like too much work to dig them out againĪ major highlight for September was doing some gaming that wasn’t in somebody’s house. I was very lucky (And some other folks were very kind) to come away with both playmats.
