1 *Luthien’s Song Elven
Condition * Support Area
Spell.
To play, spot Luthien (or 2 elves).
When you play this condition, you may add a Gondor token here for each river site on the adventure path and an Elven token here for each forest site on the adventure path.
While you can spot the same number of Elven and Gondor tokens here, each Elven and Gondor companion is strength +1 and resistance +1.
...and the song of Lúthien released the behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed.

1 *Chains of Fate Elven
Condition * Support Area
Tale.
To play, exert Beren or Luthien.
Each time a companion loses a skirmish, you must exert a companion.
At the start of each of your fellowship phases, you may heal each exhausted companion.
Thus he began the payment of anguish for the fate that was laid on him; and in his fate Lúthien was caught, and being immortal she shared in his mortality, and being free received his chain; and her anguish was greater than any other of the Eldalië has known.

0 Bitter Words Elven
Event * Fellowship
Marshal 1. (When you play this card, you may draw 1 card.)
Exert a Gondor companion to heal an Elven companion. Then, you may exert an elven companion to remove a threat.
’Who are you’, said the King, ’that come hither as a thief, and unbidden dare to approach my throne?’

1 Well-Crafted Gondor
Event * Fellowship
Spot a Gondor or Elven artifact to reinforce 2 Gondor tokens.
For this ring was like to twin serpents, whose eyes were emeralds, and their heads met beneath a crown of golden flowers, that the one upheld and the other devoured

I know its pedantic but id phrase it spot luthien (or 2 elves). Ok fair enough card.

Nice; risky but worth a shot at the gamble if it only cost less to play, id even make it cost 0 as the downside is horrific.

In a thread in the members lounge there was a poll run about daftest looking image from a card. Someone posted (think it was DI) that they thought lost in the woods looked like the nazgul was snapping his fingers so i said i hadnt noticed but now i thought about it, it did look like a rythmic ringwraith. El said if he ever got a custom subtitle he’d have to have that. I forgot about it til now, but he’s only gone and done it!

how would you discern the elven from the gondor? Color code them? I think it should cost 2 if you play it on site 1 and play say a underground for site 1, you have the same amount of tokens Wink

Taking a break from Beren and Luthien for a moment (I’ve been stricken by inspiration) let’s take a look at what else will be in this set. Silmarillion stuff, The Hobbit stuff, and the original stuff I promised in the first thread... which you all probably don’t remember. Also, probably some stuff from the 2nd age and a bit from The Fellowship of the Ring. But right now, I’m getting some good ideas for [moira]. I was looking through FotR for Balgy lore (for LH’s contest) and I just got inspired for some cards. So here they are! Oh, by the way, there’s gonna be a TON of cards here... but please review them anyways!

2 The Terror of the Mine Moria
Condition
To play, spot a Moria minion. Plays on an underground site. No player may play skirmish events or use skirmish special abilities at this site.
Shadow: Discard this condition to make the fellowship’s current site gain underground.
On all the others a dread fell at the mention of that name. Even to the hobbits it was a legend of vague fear.

1 He Watches All Roads Moria
Event * Skirmish
Choose one: spot a Sauron minion to make a Moria minion damage +1 until the regroup phase, or spot a Moria minion to make a Sauron minion fierce until the regroup phase.
`We do not know what he expects,’ said Boromir. `He may watch all roads, likely and unlikely. In that case to enter Moria would be to walk into a trap, hardly better than knocking at the gates of the Dark Tower itself. The name of Moria is black.’

And now... we start a little on the Orc wargs in this set.

2 Howling Like the Wind Orc
Event * Shadow
Choose one: Play a Warg from your deck to add 2, or play an Orc mount from your deck to make the Free Peoples player exert a companion.
Suddenly Aragorn leapt to his feet. ’How the wind howls! ’ he cried. ’It is howling with wolf-voices. The Wargs have come west of the Mountains! ’

Yes, there will be Warg minions AND mounts in this set. Twisted Evil

4 Much Needed Haste Orc
Event * Regroup
Spot 2 Wargs (or 3 Orc mounts) to make the Free Peoples player move again this turn (if the move limit allows). If the Fellowship has already moved more than once this turn, spot 2 Wargs (or 3 Orc mounts) to make the Free Peoples player place a companion in the dead pile.
’Need we wait until morning then? ’ said Gandalf. `It is as I said. The hunt is up! Even if we live to see the dawn, who now will wish to journey south by night with the wild wolves on his trail? ’

0 Made Much Worse Orc
Discard an Orc assigned to skirmish a companion to play a Warg from your discard pile, it is twilight cost -X, where X is the twilight cost of that Orc. Then, you may assign that Warg to skirmish that companion.
’The wolf that one hears is worse than the orc that one fears.’

1 Howling and Prowling Orc
Event * Shadow or Skirmish
If you play this event during the shadow phase, spot a Warg to play an Orc or Moria minion from your discard pile.
If you play this event during a skirmish phase, spot an Orc to make a Warg damage +1.
`But where the warg howls, there also the orc prowls.’

2 Weighing Fear Orc
Condition
Strength: -1
Resistance: -1
To play, spot a Warg. Bearer must be an unbound companion. Limit one per bearer.
Response: If another Orc condition is about to be discarded, discard this condition instead.
’These howls freeze my blood. I don’t ever remember feeling so wretched.’

4 *Wolfish Chieftain Orc
Minion * Warg
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Fierce. Captain.
The twilight cost of each other Warg and Orc mount is -1.
Skirmish: Exert this minion twice (or discard it) to play a Warg or Orc mount from your discard pile.
At a gap in the circle a great dark wolf-shape could be seen halted, gazing at them. A shuddering howl broke from him, as if he were a captain summoning his pack to the assault.

5 *Entrapping Troop Orc
Minion * Warg
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Fierce. Lurker.
Response: If another Warg loses a skirmish, you may exert Entrapping Troop to assign it to the winning companion (canceling Entrapping Warg’s skirmish if necessary) and begin a skirmish involving this minion and that companion.
Without warning a storm of howls broke out fierce and wild all about the camp. A great host of Wargs had gathered silently and was now attacking them from every side at once.

In the The Hobbit part of Rise of the Ring, some of the Goblins (the Warg-bearing ones) will be of the Orc culture... and there will be more mounts. Eventually. Here’s some freeps cards from that part in the book (there’s a lot of stuff I never knew was in there!)

2 Gondorian Swordsmanship Gondor
Event * Fellowship or Skirmish
If this event is played during the fellowship phase, play a Gondor hand weapon from your draw deck.
If this event is played during the skirmish phase, wound a minion skirmishing a Gondor companion bearing a hand weapon.
Through the throat of one huge leader Aragorn passed his sword with a thrust; with a great sweep Boromir hewed the head off another.

Should have made stuff like this for the UDC... are you liking the or-if cards?

1 *Wizard’s Brand Gandalf
Possession * Hand Weapon
Strength: +1
Spell.
Bearer must be a Gandalf wizard. This possession may be borne in addition to one other hand weapon.
You may play this possession any time you could play a skirmish event.
While skirmishing an Orc or Warg, bearer is strength +1 and damage +1.
It flared with a sudden white radiance like lightning; and his voice rolled like thunder. "Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!" he cried.

A spell possession? What’ll that crazy vampire think of next? Razz

1 *Bill the Pony, Fortunate Steed Shire
Possession * Mount
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be Frodo or Sam. Discard Bill the Pony while at an underground site.
Each time Bill the Pony is discarded, discard a Free Peoples possession to heal each Shire companion.
`Poor old Bill! ’ said Frodo. `I had not thought of that. And poor Sam! I wonder what he will say? ’

1 Darkened Pools Moria
Condition
Plays on the fellowship’s current site. It gains Marsh.
At the end of each turn, the Free Peoples player may add a threat to discard this condition.
Response: If the Fellowship Moves to a site, you may remove 2 to transfer this condition to that site.
It was green and stagnant, thrust out like a slimy arm towards the enclosing hills... Frodo shuddered with disgust at the touch of the dark unclean water on his feet.

1 Not a Good Sign Moria
Event * Response
If the fellowship moves during the regroup phase, you may play the next site if it is a marsh (replacing opponent’s site if necessary) to play a tentacle or The Watcher in the Water from your draw deck.
There came a soft sound: a swish, followed by a plop, as if a fish had disturbed the still surface of the water. Turning quickly they saw ripples, black-edged with shadow in the waning light: great rings were widening outwards from a point far out in the lake. There was a bubbling noise, and then silence.

More to come tomorrow, and then back to Beren and Luthien.

Needs to say "no player" not neither as in multiplayer its daft. Cool though.

Awesome i like!

Suddenly Aragorn leapt to his feet. ’How the wind howls! ’ he cried. ’It is howling with wolf-voices. The Wargs have come west of the Mountains! ’

Cool again.

3 Much Needed Haste Orc

Spot 2 Wargs (or 3 Orc mounts) to make the Free Peoples player move on again this turn. If the Fellowship has already moved more than once this turn, spot 2 Wargs (or 3 Orc mounts) to make the Free Peoples player place a companion in the dead pile.
’Need we wait until morning then? ’ said Gandalf. `It is as I said. The hunt is up! Even if we live to see the dawn, who now will wish to journey south by night with the wild wolves on his trail? ’

"move again" not "move on", but nice, very nasty up its cost to 4.

1 Made Much Worse Orc
Discard an Orc assigned to skirmish a companion to play a Warg from your discard pile, it is twilight cost -X, where X is the twilight cost of that Orc. Then, you may assign that Warg to skirmish that companion.
’The wolf that one hears is worse than the orc that one fears.’

Need to state what phase, and possibly rephrase it to replace that minion in the skirmish or assignment.

2 Howling and Prowling Orc
Event * Shadow or Skirmish
If you play this event during the shadow phase, spot a Warg to play an Orc or Moria minion from your discard pile.
If you play this event during a skirmish phase, spot an Orc to make a Warg damage +1.
`But where the warg howls, there also the orc prowls.’

Nice.

2 Wieghing Fear Orc
Condition
Strength: -1
Resistance: -1
To play, spot a Warg. Bearer must be an unbound companion. Limit one per bearer.
Response: If another Orc condition is about to be discarded, discard this condition instead.
’These howls freeze my blood. I don’t ever remember feeling so wretched.’

Spelling mistake in title. Its ok, staple card.

4 *Wolfish Chieftain Orc
Minion * Warg
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Fierce. Captain.
The twilight cost of each other Warg and Orc mount is -1.
Skirmish: Exert this minion twice (or discard it) to play a Warg or Orc mount from your discard pile.
At a gap in the circle a great dark wolf-shape could be seen halted, gazing at them. A shuddering howl broke from him, as if he were a captain summoning his pack to the assault.

Cool minion.

5 Entrapping Troop Orc
Minion * Warg
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Fierce. Lurker.
Assignment: If you can spot 6 companions, assign this minion to the Ring-bearer. The Free Peoples player may discard a companion to prevent this and assign Entrapping Troop.
Response: If another Warg loses a skirmish, you may exert Entrapping Troop to assign it to the winning companion.
Without warning a storm of howls broke out fierce and wild all about the camp. A great host of Wargs had gathered silently and was now attacking them from every side at once.

Excellent but not sure how the response text would work? Would he be assigned for the fierce skirmish, a seperate skirmish? Tricky.

2 Gondorian Swordsmanship Gondor
Event * Fellowship or Skirmish
If this event is played during the fellowship phase, play a Gondor hand weapon from your draw deck.
If this event is played during the skirmish phase, wound a minion skirmishing a Gondor companion bearing a hand weapon.
Through the throat of one huge leader Aragorn passed his sword with a thrust; with a great sweep Boromir hewed the head off another.

Nice but possibly overpowered to wound something in the skirmish, add a drawback.

0 *Wizard’s Brand Gandalf
Possession * Hand Weapon
Strength: +1
Spell.
Bearer must be a Gandalf wizard. This possession may be borne in addition to one other hand weapon.
You may play this possession any time you could play a skirmish event.
While skirmishing an Orc or Warg, bearer is strength +1 and damage +1.
It flared with a sudden white radiance like lightning; and his voice rolled like thunder. "Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!" he cried.

I see where your going with the spell possession thing and its not bad. Make it cost 1.

1 *Bill the Pony, Fortunate Steed Shire
Possession * Mount
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be Frodo or Sam. Discard Bill the Pony while at an underground site.
Response: If Bill the Pony is discarded, discard a Free Peoples possession to heal each Shire companion.
`Poor old Bill! ’ said Frodo. `I had not thought of that. And poor Sam! I wonder what he will say? ’

Hmmm ok.

2 Darkened Pools Moria
Condition
Plays on the fellowship’s current site. It gains Marsh.
At the end of each turn, the Free Peoples player may add a threat to discard this condition.
Response: If the Fellowship Moves to a site, you may remove 2 to transfer this condition to that site.
It was green and stagnant, thrust out like a slimy arm towards the enclosing hills... Frodo shuddered with disgust at the touch of the dark unclean water on his feet.

Wow cool a site condition that follows you. Nice.

1 Not a Good Sign Moria
Event * Response
If the fellowship moves during the regroup phase, play a marsh site to play a tentacle or The Watcher in the Water from your draw deck.
There came a soft sound: a swish, followed by a plop, as if a fish had disturbed the still surface of the water. Turning quickly they saw ripples, black-edged with shadow in the waning light: great rings were widening outwards from a point far out in the lake. There was a bubbling noise, and then silence.

Need to rephrase it, "you may play the next site if it is a marsh (replacing opponents if necessary)". But cool.

Agree with lem0n. Pretty cool stuff, but I’d make it require spotting a couple Moria cards to play.

lem0n’s right once again...drop the "on", and up the cost a little. "fellowship" should be lowercase, too.

Need a ";" instead of "," after "discard pile", and yes, this needs a phase (I assume skirmish).

’These howls freeze my blood. I don’t ever remember feeling so wretched.’

No complaints here...except the spelling of "Weighing".

The twilight cost of each other Warg and Orc mount is -1.
Skirmish: Exert this minion twice (or discard it) to play a Warg or Orc mount from your discard pile.
At a gap in the circle a great dark wolf-shape could be seen halted, gazing at them. A shuddering howl broke from him, as if he were a captain summoning his pack to the assault.

Great!

5 Entrapping Troop Orc
Minion * Warg
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Fierce. Lurker.
Assignment: If you can spot 6 companions, assign this minion to the Ring-bearer. The Free Peoples player may discard a companion to prevent this and assign Entrapping Troop.
Response: If another Warg loses a skirmish, you may exert Entrapping Troop to assign it to the winning companion.
Without warning a storm of howls broke out fierce and wild all about the camp. A great host of Wargs had gathered silently and was now attacking them from every side at once.

The response ability needs to specify that it either cancels Entrapping Troop’s current skirmish, or needs to be limited to when it is not assigned to a skirmish. And the minion needs to be unique.

2 Gondorian Swordsmanship Gondor
Event * Fellowship or Skirmish
If this event is played during the fellowship phase, play a Gondor hand weapon from your draw deck.
If this event is played during the skirmish phase, wound a minion skirmishing a Gondor companion bearing a hand weapon.
Through the throat of one huge leader Aragorn passed his sword with a thrust; with a great sweep Boromir hewed the head off another.

Another nifty event. Thumbs Up

0 *Wizard’s Brand Gandalf
Possession * Hand Weapon
Strength: +1
Spell.
Bearer must be a Gandalf wizard. This possession may be borne in addition to one other hand weapon.
You may play this possession any time you could play a skirmish event.
While skirmishing an Orc or Warg, bearer is strength +1 and damage +1.
It flared with a sudden white radiance like lightning; and his voice rolled like thunder. "Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!" he cried.

Heheh...brings back happy memories of another Flaming Brand. Very Happy Up the cost to 1 and exert bearer to play it.

1 *Bill the Pony, Fortunate Steed Shire
Possession * Mount
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be Frodo or Sam. Discard Bill the Pony while at an underground site.
Response: If Bill the Pony is discarded, discard a Free Peoples possession to heal each Shire companion.
`Poor old Bill! ’ said Frodo. `I had not thought of that. And poor Sam! I wonder what he will say? ’

Eh, just make bearer a Ring-bound Hobbit...I see no reason Bilbo shouldn’t be able to get in on the fun. Smile I’d specify "discard another Shire possession", just to avoid potential confusion/abuse.

2 Darkened Pools Moria
Condition
Plays on the fellowship’s current site. It gains Marsh.
At the end of each turn, the Free Peoples player may add a threat to discard this condition.
Response: If the Fellowship Moves to a site, you may remove 2 to transfer this condition to that site.
It was green and stagnant, thrust out like a slimy arm towards the enclosing hills... Frodo shuddered with disgust at the touch of the dark unclean water on his feet.

"marsh", "fellowship", and "moves" should all be lowercase. But an awesome concept. Thumbs Up

elf lvr wrote:
1 Not a Good Sign Moria
Event * Response
If the fellowship moves during the regroup phase, play a marsh site to play a tentacle or The Watcher in the Water from your draw deck.
There came a soft sound: a swish, followed by a plop, as if a fish had disturbed the still surface of the water. Turning quickly they saw ripples, black-edged with shadow in the waning light: great rings were widening outwards from a point far out in the lake. There was a bubbling noise, and then silence.

No "The" in "Watcher in the Water", believe it or not, and lem0n’s right about the other wording, once again. Smile

GP for a very cool batch.

Oh, by the way, there’s gonna be a TON of cards here... but please review them anyways!

Yeah - I’d noticed!

2 The Terror of the Mine Moria
Condition
Plays on an underground site. Neither player may play skirmish events or use skirmish special abilities at this site.
Shadow: Discard this condition to make the fellowship’s current site gain underground.
On all the others a dread fell at the mention of that name. Even to the hobbits it was a legend of vague fear.

Not ’neither’, has to be ’no’ or it’s meaningless in multiplayer. Interesting.

elf lvr wrote:
1 He Watches All Roads Moria
Event * Skirmish
Choose one: spot a Sauron minion to make a Moria minion damage +1 until the regroup phase, or spot a Moria minion to make a Sauron minion fierce until the regroup phase.
`We do not know what he expects,’ said Boromir. `He may watch all roads, likely and unlikely. In that case to enter Moria would be to walk into a trap, hardly better than knocking at the gates of the Dark Tower itself. The name of Moria is black.’

Very interesting. I’d like to see it work, though.

elf lvr wrote:
2 Howling Like the Wind Orc
Event * Shadow
Choose one: Play a Warg from your deck to add 2, or play an Orc mount from your deck to exert a companion.
Suddenly Aragorn leapt to his feet. ’How the wind howls! ’ he cried. ’It is howling with wolf-voices. The Wargs have come west of the Mountains! ’

The mount ability is too good, methinks. Maybe make the FP player. Interesting card.

elf lvr wrote:
3 Much Needed Haste Orc
Event * Regroup
Spot 2 Wargs (or 3 Orc mounts) to make the Free Peoples player move on again this turn. If the Fellowship has already moved more than once this turn, spot 2 Wargs (or 3 Orc mounts) to make the Free Peoples player place a companion in the dead pile.
’Need we wait until morning then? ’ said Gandalf. `It is as I said. The hunt is up! Even if we live to see the dawn, who now will wish to journey south by night with the wild wolves on his trail? ’

Need to add ’if the move limit allows’. I think it’s cost needs raising.

elf lvr wrote:
1 Made Much Worse Orc
Discard an Orc assigned to skirmish a companion to play a Warg from your discard pile, it is twilight cost -X, where X is the twilight cost of that Orc. Then, you may assign that Warg to skirmish that companion.
’The wolf that one hears is worse than the orc that one fears.’

Very cool. Might make it 0 though.

elf lvr wrote:
2 Howling and Prowling Orc
Event * Shadow or Skirmish
If you play this event during the shadow phase, spot a Warg to play an Orc or Moria minion from your discard pile.
If you play this event during a skirmish phase, spot an Orc to make a Warg damage +1.
`But where the warg howls, there also the orc prowls.’

Change it so that it looks like we must have it, rather than putting the phase at the top. It’s cool.

elf lvr wrote:
2 Wieghing Fear Orc
Condition
Strength: -1
Resistance: -1
To play, spot a Warg. Bearer must be an unbound companion. Limit one per bearer.
Response: If another Orc condition is about to be discarded, discard this condition instead.
’These howls freeze my blood. I don’t ever remember feeling so wretched.’

’One’ should be ’1’. Good one!

Fierce. Captain.
The twilight cost of each other Warg and Orc mount is -1.
Skirmish: Exert this minion twice (or discard it) to play a Warg or Orc mount from your discard pile.
At a gap in the circle a great dark wolf-shape could be seen halted, gazing at them. A shuddering howl broke from him, as if he were a captain summoning his pack to the assault.

Are Wargs mostly fierce? Otherwise his ability ain’t that useful, and I also think he should have to be skirmishing to use it.

5 Entrapping Troop Orc
Minion * Warg
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Fierce. Lurker.
Assignment: If you can spot 6 companions, assign this minion to the Ring-bearer. The Free Peoples player may discard a companion to prevent this and assign Entrapping Troop.
Response: If another Warg loses a skirmish, you may exert Entrapping Troop to assign it to the winning companion.
Without warning a storm of howls broke out fierce and wild all about the camp. A great host of Wargs had gathered silently and was now attacking them from every side at once.

How can you assign in the skirmish phase? Do you fight again? And I think this cards needs some enforcement on it, lest its first ability be far far too good.

If this event is played during the skirmish phase, wound a minion skirmishing a Gondor companion bearing a hand weapon.
Through the throat of one huge leader Aragorn passed his sword with a thrust; with a great sweep Boromir hewed the head off another.

Same thought as before. Nice card though.

It flared with a sudden white radiance like lightning; and his voice rolled like thunder. "Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!" he cried.

What does this card refer to? And why is it good against Orcs or Wargs? Should probably cost 1, at least in the skirmish phase.

elf lvr wrote:
1 *Bill the Pony, Fortunate Steed Shire
Possession * Mount
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be Frodo or Sam. Discard Bill the Pony while at an underground site.
Response: If Bill the Pony is discarded, discard a Free Peoples possession to heal each Shire companion.
`Poor old Bill! ’ said Frodo. `I had not thought of that. And poor Sam! I wonder what he will say? ’

Make the response ’Each time’ or you will have a fully healed fellowship without too much bother for moving to an underground site. Interesting thought, though.

Good one, and all Lem0n’s and Dain’s points I agree with.
