I hate DC’s, they’re tough to make, but I have an interesting new subculture for the shadow side. That being said, I still don’t lke FP cards...so I only made four. Enjoy!

•Deagol, Bearer of Birthday Presents
Companion
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: (5)
To play, add a burden.
While you can spot Smeagol, Deagol is resistance +5.
While Deagol is the ring-bearer, each time the fellowship moves, add three burdens or wound him twice.
Response: If Deagol is about to be killed, make Smeagol the Ring-Bearer.
00R+118
I think the moving penalty might be a bit harsh...

•Smeagol, Slippery as Fishes
Companion
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 5
To play, add a burden.
Each time the fellowship moves to a marsh, add a threat.
While at a marsh, Smeagol cannot be overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled.
Skirmish: If the fellowship is at a marsh, exert Smeagol twice to cancel a skirmish involving him.
00R119
he seems kinda like smeagol scout and guide.

Fishing Pole

Bearer must be Smeagol or Deagol. Limit one per bearer.

00U120
fine by me

I like this one, although you should drop the penalty to two burdens, or wound him once. I see how you’re making him a short-term RB, but still...

Sweet. Nice idea. Why don’t you give it a class, so that you can drop "limit one per bearer". Like "pole"?

Say, "If Deagol IS killed," not "about to be." Interesting drawback... Yeah, short-term R-B. Interesting, making the smeagol you want the R-B. I like it.

Lots of marsh-things going on here... and the ability just screams site-replacement. Are there any maneuver site-replacing actions? I like him, seems balanced.

Weird... I can see a ton of combos coming out on that last ability... Seems like it needs some way to stop it getting out of hand.

Cool.

Changes made. Now for the minions.

First off, I did add a section to the first page about the sneak mechanic. You have to read it to understand most of the Gollums.
That mechanic has some problems. Like the fact of twilight pool. Although I suppose you could enforce it. Like by putting the tokens on top of the card. And if a person cheats, it’s easy to find out.
I was reading TT earlier, and I stumbled across a section from The Choices of Master Samwise, during Shagrat and Gorbag’s discussion. So...

•Ufthak, Forgotten One
Minion • Orc
Strength: 8
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 8
When you play Ufthak, you may exert him and spot Shelob to play a possession from your draw deck.
Regroup: Stack Ufthak on a possession to make the Free Peoples player wound a companion for each possession you spot (limit: 3).
"’She’d forgotten him, maybe, but we didn’t touch him’"
00R122
Hmm...I think it should probably stay in or culture, but it’s not a bad card. Nice card, though.
(you got a rarity, lore. But hey, it needed some, right? For something as colossal as this.)

Cirith Ungol Orc
Strength: 2
Vitality: 2
Site Number: 8
While skirmishing a wounded character, this minion is strength +4.
Regroup:Stack this minion on a possession to exert a companion.
00U123
Ooh, ouch! A very interesting card. Maybe...maybe orcs could work.
•Shelob, Guardian of Cirith Ungol
Minion • Spider
Strength: 8
Vitality: 8
Site Number: 8
Fierce. Damage +1
Shelob is strength +2 for each possession you spot. (limit: +8 )
Shadow: Discard Shelob and discard an Orc stacked on a possession to make the Free Peoples player exert a companion for each possession you spot (limit: 3).
00U124
Ouch! But then again, this Shelob’s not enduring! That’s interesting...and this Shelob can’t get as big as the others. But I like the card.
•Gollum, Horribly Strong
Minion
Strength: 5
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 3
Sneak.
When Gollum is revealed, you may discard X Orcs stacked on possessions to make the Free People’s player exert X companions. (Limit: 3).
00U125
Nice! Very cool card. I like this new NG theme.
•Gollum, Treacherous Toad
Minion
Strength: 5
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 3
Regroup: Discard Gollum to play a minion. That minion gains sneak until the end of the turn.
00C126
Hmm...I dunno if I’d use this one. Especially since you wouldn’t often have a minion in hand. Maybe "play from your discard"?
•Gollum, Servant of Shelob
Minion
Strength: 0
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 3
Sneak.
When Gollum is revealed, spot Shelob to wound a companion skirmishing him.
00R127

And then a (somewhat) generic card. A minion follower.
