I was going to save these for last, but I’ll go ahead and spoil them now. Shelob had a couple cool possessions, and her offspring get some nasty ones, too.  Enjoy!
 Abominable Threads 
Possession
Bearer must be a Spider.
Response: If bearer wins a skirmish, spot 2 threats and remove a threat to capture a character in that skirmish. Discard this possession.
“Something like a strong sticky string was against his left hand, and when he tried to move he found that his legs were already wrapped in the same stuff....”
Hm...I still think the whole capturing thing is overpowered. But okay, if its not.
• Great Strands
Possession
To play, spot 2 Spiders. Plays on the current site.
The fellowship may not move during the regroup phase.
Discard this possession if you cannot spot a Spider.
“With that he turned and found that the last space between two tall trees had been closed with a web....”
lol. The fellowship can’t move during the regroup phase anyway. They move after the regroup phase. Maybe, Regroup: Make the Free Peoples player choose not to move again.
Better wipe out all those Spiders if you want to escape. |

What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about? 
As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

Understood, and thanks for the suggestion, but that’s not exactly what I was going for. I know the way I had it worded suggests that, but that’s just my silly mistake. 
What’s it’s SUPPOSED to do is keep the fellowship pinned at the current site, but continue play as if they moved until they get rid of the condition somehow. I reworded it to try and show that. |

Yeah, I still don’t like the idea of Shadow players capturing companions at all, especially when they can do it this easily. But I won’t get into that thing, so I’ll just skip reviewing this.

Hmm... I see what you’re getting at, but it’s rather overpowered IMHO. If you spring it upon an un-prepared fellowship, they have to continually fight at that site, and if they have no support cards in hand then there’s a good chance that the game is over.
If I were you, I would drop that entire idea for Great Strands. It’s just not the type of thing I like.

| How about if Great Strands just keeps them there for one turn? |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Discard this possession at the start of your Shadow phase (or if you cannot spot a Spider).

I think it should be a condition, and I would raise the cost to  . Neat cards!  |

I raised the cost of Great Strands to , but I’d rather keep it as a possession, personally.
I think we’re ready to move on. If anyone still has a problem with either of those last two cards, let me know, but I think they’re much better balanced (and less controversial) now. Thanks!
Dáin’s DC Duos #185
Okay, here’s a couple simple Spiders that should NOT cause any controversy or rulebook changes. Enjoy!
 Great Spider
Minion • Spider
Strength: 4
Vitality: 4
Site: 7
Enduring.
“He could only see the things’s eyes, but he could feel its hairy legs....”
As simple as they come. When exhausted, this little guy has 10 strength, which isn’t bad at all for a -cost minion, eh?
Spider Harasser
Minion • Spider
Strength: 5
Vitality: 5
Site: 7
Enduring.
Each time this minion loses a skirmish, you may heal it.
“‘Now we see you, you nasty little creature! We will eat you and leave your bones and skin hanging on a tree.’”
This little sucker could be VERY hard to kill. You better hope for some direct wounding, or he’s just going to keep on coming! |
