well, it’s been a while since i just created a few DC’s entire of themselves. so i thought i’d give this a go:
these cards form the basis for a new Gollum strategy, centered around tokens. currently i only found one gollum shadow card that can have tokens and that is: larder. there is also one card that can reinforce a gollum token. other than that, nothing. except freeps, but i’m not working with freeps here. so let’s hop to it!! these card titles are taken from the gollum song at the end of TTT.
for each line of the gollum song, i will either make a card titled for it, or use it as lore. here is the song:
Where once was light (title)
Now darkness falls (title)
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don’t say goodbye (lore)
Don’t say I didn’t try (lore)
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home
So in the end
I’ll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
Now we say goodbye
We say you didn’t try
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!
And you will weep (lore)
When you face the end alone (lore)
You are lost (lore)
You can never go home (lore)
You are lost (lore)
You can never go home (lore)
 Where Once Was Light 
Condition • Support Area
When you play this, spot Gollum to add a token here.
Each time Gollum is played from your draw deck or discard pile, you may reinforce a token.
Shadow: Remove a token from here to remove a Free Peoples token.
Archery: Remove 2 tokens from here and exert Gollum to discard a shield or ranged weapon.
Assignment: Remove 3 tokens from here and exert Gollum twice (or once if you can spot Shelob) to discard a condition.
"Don’t say goodbye, don’t say I didn’t try"
Now Darkness Falls
Event • Assignment
Remove 2 tokens to assign Gollum to a companion (except the Ring-bearer). The free peoples player may make Gollum Strength +3 until the regroup phase to prevent that.
"And you will weep, when you face the end alone, you are lost, you can never go home"
i’ll be making the rest in the future, right now, i need reviews. as usual i’ll be dishing out the gold!!! |

Unless you have a lot of independent reinforcement, I can’t see this being that useful, except as a counter-token measure. If, on the other hand, you have a good amount of reinforcement, then this is good. And just getting tokens from playing gollum probably won’t be enough to make it worthwhile; what, play him a maximum of 8 times, or so? Not especially effective. If you;ve got the reinforcement, though, very good. Though I can’t figure what Gollum has to do with the archery phase....

And speaking of  , here’s one for the idea of getting a bunch of cards from that song. Wish I’d have thought of that....
Oh, well. I call "Into the West"  |

The 2nd and 3rd abilities seems overcosted.

You’re missing in a few spots, and you have a few capitalization mistakes. Let me repost it with the suggested tweaks:

Changes are bolded. Neat card, though.

"Ring-bearer" doesn’t need to be bolded, but "Free Peoples" should always be capitalized; "Strength", on the othr hand, should never be. Oh, and make sure to put the lore in italics. I know, I know...that crazy Dáin is so PICKY! |

Not true. What if it’s at the beginning of a sentence!
Other than that, I agree entirely with everything DI said!
