Fill in the Blank Season 1: Lairs #3
« on: May 10, 2020, 03:54:37 PM »
Welcome to Fill in the Blank Season 1: Lairs!

Each week I'll post the collector's information for one of the cards in the set's card-list.

Contestants are free to create whatever card they see fit for that slot in the card-list, keeping in mind the surrounding cards. As the contest progresses, the card-list will become more and more defined, guiding the contestants' choices.

The theme of our set is Lairs! You're free to interpret this however you want.

Not every card has to fit the theme, of course, but it's something to keep in mind when coming up with entries.

Each week a poll will go up for the previous week's entries. Simply vote for one you like the most. In the event of a tie, I'll let a random result generator make the decision.

Last week's winner...
Congratulations to, err, me and Wrested Kingdom for becoming the first card in the set - now let's get some more names onto the scoreboard!

Last week's entries to pick from for Card #20...

Quote from: Entry #1

(0) •Mountains of Shadow [Sauron]
(Image: 12C181)
Condition • Support Area
While the fellowship is at site 4K or 5K, Ring-bound companions (except Sméagol) are strength -1 for each Shadow culture in your support area (limit -2).
Maneuver or Regroup: Exert a [Sauron] or [Gollum] minion to discard a card at random from the Free Peoples player's hand for each Shadow culture you spot. Discard this condition.


Quote from: Entry #2

[1] •Bag End Hearth [Shire]
Condition • Support Area
Each time you discard a pipeweed possession, you may spot a companion and choose one of the following signets: Frodo or Gandalf. The spotted companion gains the chosen signet until the end of the turn.
Fellowship: Discard this condition to play a [Shire] or [Gandalf] pipe from your draw deck.  
‘"Among the Wise I am the only one that goes in for hobbit-lore: an obscure branch of knowledge, but full of surprises."'


Quote from: Entry #3

[2] Tookishness [Shire]
Condition
Strength +1  Vitality +1  Resistance +1
Tale. Bearer must be Bilbo, Merry or Pippin (or a Took). Limit 1 per bearer.
Skirmish: If bearer is not assigned to a skirmish, play a [Shire] event to have bearer replace an unbound companion in a skirmish.
"Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees..."

Designer's notes:
Expensive like Stone Trolls, it's meant to be an opposite of Escape (engaging them in more peril instead of fleeing from it). "Took" is obviously an unloaded keyword to allow the inclusion of Gerontius, Bandobras and other celebrated Tooks in a shorter way. Merry can bear it too as nephew of Paladin Took, 31th Thain of the Shire (Pippin's father); Frodo too had Took blood, but his adventurous ancestry was clearly dead inside him.

This week's contest is...

Card #2!

Just about anything goes this week, but the result of Card #2 will undoubtedly cut one (or several?) cultures from the set... which might be really interesting! I say don't hold anything back! But in case you wanted to know all your options, here ya go:

  • A [Ring] card
  • A [Dunland] card
  • A [Dwarven] card
  • An [Elven] card
  • A [Gandalf] card
  • A [Gollum] card
  • A [Gondor] card
  • An [Isengard] card
  • A [Men] card
  • A [Moria] card (before Wrested Kingdom)

Closing date: May 16th.

Good luck!

Note: This'll be a 25 card set.

Spot a [Dunland] Man and X sites you control to wound an unbound companion X times. Unless that companion is a [Rohan] Man, the Free Peoples player may discard a card from hand for each site you control to prevent this.

The One Ring, One Ring to Rule Them All  [Ring]
Strength +3
Health +3
Maneuver: Exert bearer to wear The One Ring until the end of the turn.
While wearing The One Ring, each time the Ring-bearer is about to take a wound, add 2 burdens instead.
"One Ring to rule them all"

[2] We will die for Saruman [Dunland]
Event • Shadow or Regroup
Spot Saruman and kill any number of [Dunland] Men to take control of a site. The Free Peoples player may allow you to wound a companion (except the Ringbearer) X times to prevent this, where X is the total vitality of the [Dunland] Men discarded.
"'Take back the lands they stole from you'"

I had to say 'kill', or else it's too strong to use with Freca.

Possession • Support Area
Regroup: Stack a [Dunland] Man from play here.
