The House of Tom Bombadil
Site.
Dwelling. When the fellowship moves from this site, you may spot a character to remove a burden.

Nice, maybe should cost 3.

The Song of Tom Bombadil
Event • Fellowship or Regroup
Remove a burden for each two companions you can spot; if you spot Tom Bombadil you may also heal the Ringbearer.
...can't you hear me singing?

Dont think there has ever been such an easy burden nuke as this. Maybe remove the last bit and make you spot tom to to the burdens. More flavour and harder to achieve.

• Old man willow
The dark heart of the Old Forest
Minion • Tree
Strength: 6
Vitality: 4
Site: 2
Damage +1.
Old man willow may not take wounds during the archery phase and cannot be assigned to a skirmish.
Shadow: Exert Old man willow and remove to play a minion from your discard pile. The Free peoples player may exert the ringbearer to prevent this.

Why is he damage +1 if he cant skirmish? I cant see many ways of healing tree minions so maybe remove 1 not 2. I think hes a good card.

• Gandalf's Hat [Gandalf]
A wizard's device
Possession • Hat
Resistance +1.
Bearer must be a wizard.
If bearer is Gandalf, he gains muster.
Fellowship or regroup: stack a spell from hand here.
Fellowship or regroup: play a spell from here as from hand.

I think I would second lem0n on being borne by Gandalf. And I think the second ability should be taking spells into hand thereby avoiding confusion about playing phase events out of time. I would also attach a cost to it like adding or exerting a Wizard or something.

• Gandalf's Kart
A wizard's device
Possession • support area
At the start of each of your turns you may spot Gandalf to add a token on one of your cards.
Each time a artifact or possession is about to be discarded by a shadow card you may exert a wizard and add to prevent that.

I think the first line could be phrased "At the start of your turn, you may spot Gandalf to reinforce a token". And I think the second should be a response action so that it's repeatable.

all theses cards are a little bit OP, ....just a LITTLE BIT TOO OP

ditto below, so your stacking cards on a possession borne by a companion? kinda weird...

cart, not kart.    it would look better if you formatted it like Gandalf's Cart, Wizards Device. one line.  Id say cost 2.

eh, willows fine.

  • The Balrog
Valarauko
Minion • Balrog
Strength: 17
Vitality: 5
Site: 4
Damage +2. Enduring.

The Balrog may not take wounds during the archery phase and cannot be discarded by free peoples cards.
Skirmishes involving the Balrog cannot be canceled.

Assignment: Spot 6 companions to assign this minion to a companion (except the ringbearer).
Skirmish: If the Balrog is not skirmishing a wizard, exert it twice to kill the companion unless the Free peoples player add 4 burdens.

[Olorin]

hehe... seems a bit strong :-)

Well, I'll refrain from reviewing them until the format is fixed, it's kinda lame when 3-4 people say the same thing (being "format needs fixing") and are utterly ignored.

He seems to have far too much text. To be honest, I think he'd be worth it without the second 2 lines, and I'm not such a fan of them - enduring damage +2 with "stickaroundability" seems good enough.
