New member here, been playing LOTR TCG since the very first week in 2001, played at the Worlds in 2002 (eliminated on the first round though..). Love the game but disliked all the change in "Shadows", especially the new cultures and site path, and drop a bit from the scene then, but that's another story...
I saw the new Hobbit movie three times and I think the LOTR TCG potential is enormous.
I think there's enough talent on this board to build a modest fan-made "virtual set".
Here's what I have in mind:
- Let's have a modest objective: about 64 cards, just enough to play a full game with just the new cards.
- Cultures: Dwarves, Shire, Gandalf (including Radagast,s stuff), Elves, Gundabad(NEW/Warg-riders), Moria(=Misty mountains goblins, including Trolls), Nazgûls (for wraiths and everything Corruption-related), Gollum, Dragon(NEW, for the next movie, just a couple of "foreshadowing" cards)
- For the game Mechanics, the most important thing would be to establish a new ring-less beginning of the game and possibly totally ring-less games. Rules would be the same, but Corruption could be added without an actual ring-bearer and winning/loosing should be mostly a survival test. Bilbo would key to winning/loosing, even without the ring, so you still have to protect "The Hobbit" to win. This will need some thinking..
- I would return the site path to a 1 to 9 numbering scheme. The THREE regions could still be used for game-text, I'd like a combination of the two.
- We would need something like two new loaded keywords and two new unloaded keywords at minimum. Dwarven are obviously the key target of one of these, maybe Wargs for the other. We could recycle a lot of the old Moria stuff for the Goblins and Trolls. Warg-riders are pretty much already established, as all other cultures. "Dragon" should be something special, but indirectly affecting the game for now.
- Conditions/Events/Allies would recycle a lot of the old mechanics. Some "Riddle" cards for Gollum are a must.
That's about it to start with.
Obvious cards:
New Ring
Thorin+ the 12 dwarves (Maybe 2 by card in some cases to respect the 9 companions limit..)
Gandalf (rare+common?)
Bilbo (rare+common ?)
Gollum (+new Riddle cards=events/conditions??)
Radagast (+hat, sledge, house, staff, etc.)
Elrond
Random Elves
Random Dwarves
Random Hobbit allies
Eagles
Azog
Random Wargs/Warg riders
Goblin-King
Random Goblins
The Three trolls
Stone Giant (maybe not..)
Dol Guldur's Wraith
Mirkwood Giant Spiders
Sting
Glamdring
Pipe-weed/pipes
Fir cones
Contract
Ponies
Mirkwood evil taint
Necromancer (condition ?)
Smaug's sleep (condition)
Sites:
Bilbo's Hole
Trollshaws
Rivendell (site 3 or 6?)
Misty Mountain (outside)
Misty Mountains (inside)
Buckland
Rhudaur plains
Rhudaur forest
----
I'll stop here.
Anybody in ?
-
Ok let's start with a couple of simple rules for this:
1) Anybody can submit a card lore. Let's stick to the list in the first post at first. (Except maybe new events/conditions/sites/possessions would be welcomed)
2) DO NOT redo a card already submitted, propose CHANGES to the card lore instead.
3) Try to re-use mechanics and keywords from others. There should not be more than 3 or 4 new keywords in the set.
That's about it. The result will surely be a bit shaky at first, coming from different minds, but the initial goal is to reach a "playable" set of 64+ cards. We can fine-tune things as we go on.
-
Here's a first new rule. Nothing fancy, but it's a start..
Ring-less rules
------------------
1) With cards of this set, you start the game with Biblo Baggins (from the new set) as a "ring-bearer" but no One Ring (set it aside). All other starting fellowship rules applies.
2) While you have no ring, burdens go on Bilbo. If Bilbo dies or is corrupted, you lose the game.
3) Biblo can acquire the One Ring (through the playing of 2-3 "Riddle" event ??) during the game
Obviously the new ring should make Bilbo much harder to kill, and the Bilbo card should read something like "Resistance+5 while not wearing the One Ring".
-
OK, let's get this train on the road.. here are two new cards for the set:
[4] •Radagast, Wizard with an addled mind [Gandalf]
Companion • Wizard
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 7
Exert Radagast to play Radagast's Sled from your draw deck.
Any phase: Discard two cards at random from hand to draw a card. If you do, do not reconcile your hand during the Regroup phase.
---
[2] •Radagast's sled [Gandalf]
Possession • Support Area
To play, spot Radagast.
The move limit is +1.
Skirmish: Exert a companion three times to cancel a skirmish involving him (except Bilbo/the Ring-bearer).
-
I do not yet have any card ideas (i'm sure i will later) but i'll start by giving my 2 cents on what you have so far!
[4] •Radagast, Wizard with an addled mind [Gandalf]
Companion • Wizard
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 7
Exert Radagast to play Radagast's Sled from your draw deck.
Any phase: Discard two cards at random from hand to draw a card. If you do, do not reconcile your hand during the Regroup phase.
title is a bit too long, mybe "radagast, woodland friend" or something shorter "radagast, the simple", or maybe even "radagast, addled wizard"
i would probably go with a different kind of game text. something like this:
when you play radagast, you may heal a companion. (representing his care of other creatures and his healing of the hedgehog in the film)
Regroup: discard 2 cards from hand to draw a card.
[2] •Radagast's sled [Gandalf]
Possession • Support Area
To play, spot Radagast.
The move limit is +1.
Skirmish: Exert a companion three times to cancel a skirmish involving him (except Bilbo/the Ring-bearer).
love where this one is going! radagast's sled was awesome. fast. and in fitting with radagast's already present move limit +1 theme, we should indeed make the sled move limit +1.
I think it would be better to make the sled play onto radagast and be vitality +1 and say "exert Radagast 3 times to cancel a skirmish involving a companion (except bilbo...)" this would represent how radagast drew the wargs away from the company.
those are my 2 cents. i've always enjoyed making DC's for the Hobbit, so i'm sure i will be back to make some before long.

Now, who else wants to try a new card ??
-
Great suggestions!
New Radagast and Radagast's sled:
[4] •Radagast, Addled Wizard [Gandalf]
Companion • Wizard
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 7
When you play Radagast you may heal a companion.

Skirmish: Exert Radagast three times to cancel a skirmish involving him (except Bilbo/the Ring-bearer).
-
[3] • Thorin, Oakenshield
Companion - Dwarf
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Bilbo and each Dwarf you spot is strength +1.
At the start of each skirmish phase you may spot bilbo or 3 dwarves to reinforce a [shire] or [dwarven] token.
-
[3] • Thorin, Oakenshield
Companion - Dwarf
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Bilbo and each Dwarf you spot is strength +1.
At the start of each skirmish phase you may spot bilbo or 3 dwarves to reinforce a [shire] or [dwarven] token.
I had something similar in mind for the dwarves (bonus when 3+ attacking, using a loaded keyword). But this might be a simpler way!
Now we need a dwarf condition that uses those tokens. Pay 2, with two tokens on it already, remove a token for +1 strength for a dwarf? called... "Glory of Erebor" or something like it... ? Can you finish my thought ?
Also: All dwarves should be DAMAGE +1
-
[2] The Lonely Mountain Calls
Condition - Support Area
When you play this condition, place a [dwarven] token on this card.
Skirmish: Spot Bilbo and remove a [dwarven] token from this condition to make a Dwarf strength +1.
-
i tend to disagree about the damage +1. usually they do, but the lack of damage can emphasize their uniqueness. for instance, this thorin will never be less than 8 strength, probably never less than 9 (bilbo ringbearer) and strengthens all the other dwarves. reinforcing tokens all the way. maybe we could add twilight -1 when in starting fellowship. but i think it best to leave damage +1 for some of the older and more grizzled dwarves of the company.
-
[2] • Orcrist, Biter
Artifact - Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer Must be Thorin.
Bearer is Damage +2.
" the goblins simply called it Biter. They hated it and hated worse anyone that carried it."
-
I think the idea of Bilbo not starting with the ring is the best idea I've heard for a Hobbit expansion (it should be by default), though him getting burdens while not bearing it doesn't make sense to me. That's the whole point of burdens.
-
the opponent could place the burdens on the ring, and then they will be assigned to bilbo when he finally gets the ring. just an idea...
-
1) I agree on dwarves. They are different dwarves! (not +1)
2) As for burdens... I don't think you can remove them completely from the game. But by making Bilbo Resistance 14 without the Ring (see his card) I doubt a corruption victory would be a common occurence. This is a choice from the Fellowship player: get the One Ring to make Bilbo less vulnerable, but then Corruption by burdens becomes a problem. One could see burdens as battle weariness, as Bilbo wanting to abandon the quest, as he did in the movie and book. And without Bilbo, there is no success possible, as we all know.
but I agree this could need reworking.
-
Here is an (unoriginal, but functional..) Gundabad Warg-riders set:
[7] •Azog, the Defiler [Gundabad]
Minion • Warg-rider
Strength: 13
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Damage +1
Maneuver:Spot another Warg-rider to make Azog fierce until the Regroup phase.
Skirmish:Spot a dwarf and exert Azog to add a threat.

Strength: 8
Vitality: 3
Site: 4

Skirmish: Exert this minion twice to make him +1 or to add a threat.
[2] Gundabad Rider [Gundabad]
Minion • Warg-rider
Strength: 7
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
Add a threat each time this minion inflicts a wound.
[3] Gundabad Warg [Gundabad]
Possession
Strength+3
Vitality+1

Skirmish:Exert bearer to cancel an event.
[2] Smell of fear [Gundabad]
Condition • Support Area
Maneuver: Remove 3 threats to exert a companion (except Bilbo/the ring-bearer).
-
I'm worried about sites...
Here are my thoughts:
- I want to go back to sites numbers from 1 to 9 BUT also keep Regions (sites 1-3=Region1, 4-6=Region 2, etc.)
- Sites 1 will obviously all be in Hobbiton, Sites 3 Rivendell, sites 6 ?? or should Rivendell be 6 ?
- Obvious sites/gametexts would be site 1 that plays dwarves from the draw deck, trollshaws..., misty mountains-undergrounds with various bonus for goblins..
- In order to play Riddle events there should be enough underground sites 5-6-7-8. 5-6 should ALL be underground. No sites 9 should be underground (a fresh ring on Bilbo at the Maneuver phase of site 9 would be very anti-climatic). How do you call that cliff at the end of the Movie ??
That leaves a lot of holes to fill...
Feel free to contribute names/game texts!

[2] Burning Fir Cone [Gandalf]
Event
To play spot Gandalf.

-
Current wishlist:
- The other dwarves + a couple of possession and events for them.
- Gandalf + a couple of spells/allies + Glamdring
- Some wraith/"Nazgul"/corruption/Dol Guldur/Spiders? cards
- Some Shire cards/allies (pipeweed!)
- the 3 trolls
I guess that would put us close to 64 cards, more or less.
Strength is in numbers... Every card is welcomed to the project! (or constructive criticism on cards already here)
-
[6] • Sauron, The Necromancer [Wraith]
Minion - Mia
Strength: 6

Now. How about a wraith-knight or two, and... a Morgul Blade ?

[8] • The Witch-King, Resurrected [Wraith]

Site Number: 3
Sauron's twilight cost is -2.

Each time Thorin loses a skirmish, exert the Ring-bearer.
Fellowship: Add 2 threats to play a [Dwarven] artifact from your draw deck (limit 1).

Regroup: Remove a threat or heal a companion.
-
Galadriel's Advice
Event • Fellowship
To play spot Gandalf or an elf ally.
Regroup: Remove a threat or heal a companion.
How does this work? Its a fellowship event, but it goes in regroup?
From what I can see you're really just spamming cards to make cards. Read your work through and through, to catch erors like this. Another example is your Radagast, whom can exert to play his sled.... but not mentioning the phase where this is possible.
-
I'm cancelling this project.
Please remove this thread.
-
I don't see a reason why we can't chime in with our own ideas, though. Here are some of mine:
(1) Moment of Pity [Shire]
Event - Response
If the fellowship moves in the regroup phase, spot Bilbo to return a minion to its owner's hand. If that minion is Gollum, remove 2 burdens or 2 threats.
(1) *Game of Riddles [Shire]
Condition - Support Area
Tale.
Each time you play a [Shire] riddle, add a [Shire] token here. Bilbo is strength +1 for each [Shire] token here (limit +3).
(1) Golden Treasure Inside Is Hid [Shire]
Event - Skirmish
Riddle.
Make a Hobbit strength +1 for each Free Peoples card that has a culture token on it (or +2 if you spot Gollum).
(0) What Have I Got in My Pocket? [Shire]
Event - Maneuver
Riddle.
Spot Bilbo to guess a number. Reveal the top card of a Shadow player's draw deck. If the twilight cost of that card matches the number you guessed, remove a burden and play the fellowship's next site. Otherwise, exert Bilbo.
-
Here is the full set.
It's been play-tested enough to post here.
Use, re-use or don't use as you wish..!
Constructive criticism is always welcomed.
Cheers from Canada!

LOTR TCG - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey expansion
New rules:
---
Ring-less rules
1) With cards of this set, you start the game with Bilbo Baggins (from the new set) as a "ring-bearer" but no One Ring (set it aside). All other starting fellowship rules applies.
2) While you have no ring, burdens go on Bilbo. If Bilbo dies or is corrupted, you lose the game.
3) Bilbo can acquire the One Ring during the game, by playing the new Riddle events.

You cannot put more Doom tokens than there are companions in the fellowship.
Shadow: The shadow player can remove a Doom token from the Doom token Zone to add a twilight token to the pool.

At first glance this looks nice. Just work on the wording a little bit, to make it more consistent with current wording.
Also, it can be a bit confusing to have the Moria orcs suddenly side numebr 5, as they have always been site number 4.
props for the use of tokens tho, but dont forget to make a rules line how tokens work. Do they go to the discard, are they removed, can they stack upon Goblin Swarms?
-
Thanks for looking!
First things first: we develop the new cards to be played as a stand-alone game. I'm not sure what would result from mix and matching with older LOTR TCG cards. This is almost a new game using the same rules (except for ring-less bearer and Doom tokens).
Misty Mountains Goblins use the Moria culture, but they're basically a whole new thing.
(Honestly it was simply easier to use the Moria template to photoshop the physical cards..)
We played them at site 6 for a while, as they appear later in the actual movie, but that wasn't perilous enough, so we made them site 5. Orcs of Gundabad and Trolls are at site 4 and Wraiths of Dol Guldur are at site 6 (even if only Radagast encounters them..).
All those numbers mainly results from lot of play-testing and trying to develop a fun game and that is also thematically linked to the story of the first Hobbit movie.
Goblin Tokens are minions for every purpose during all phases, but they are removed from the game at the end of the turn and cannot be put in/on any other pile, hand, card or deck. Nonetheless, you can discard them to put [Moria] tokens on the condition "Depths of Misty Mountains". That mechanic works fine and is a whole new swarm flavor.
One more thing: Doom tokens are limited exactly as Threats: you cannot put more Doom tokens than there are companions in the Doom token zone.
-
Can you rearrange cards by putting all cards of the same culture together? It would make easier to read and understand potential combinations.

Done.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Doom tokens... LOTR TCG already have wounds, burdens, threats, twilight tokens.... add Doom tokens to that and it sounds like too much tokens to me.

Of course mileage may vary. In the realm of DC anything goes really, and I guess that's why there will never be a consensus "committee" that decides what is good and what's not for this game for everybody.
Personally I'm not a big fan of the "Shadows" site rules, the new shadow cultures, Followers and "Hunter". In fact I never use any of those when I play.
However there are two things that are a must: new mechanics must come with new expansions (re-using the same old things again and again will not work with the new movie...) and those new mechanics should be balanced and don't create NPE.
After a lot of play-testing, Doom tokens and Goblin tokens work on both counts. Since there are no threats with these cards and that Goblin tokens are physical cards, you don't really need to materially "add" anything to the game to play (You may even use the Dead Pile as the Doom token zone).
But then again, I doubt there will ever be a "LOTR TCG" DC expansion that rally more than its creators and very close friends..
It's fun to play with DC anyway!
