Well, I know some people have questioned how it’s even possible in the past, but Lasting Alliances has about 60 sites. There’s a few reasons for this. For one thing, the set itself is over 500 cards now. (Yes, you read that right. Razz

) Since it’s gotten so huge over time, I’ve decided to split it into two sets, possibly even three if it starts getting much bigger. But with that many cards, you’re going to have a good number of sites: compare to the first-ever LOTR TCG set, Fellowship of the Ring, which by comparison had 363 total cards, 44 of which were sites.

In fact, that’s an especially good example, because like that set (and all pre-Shadows sets), Lasting Alliances has an old-school sitepath, with all sites numbered from 1-9.

So, 60ish sites may SEEM like a lot, but keep those factors in mind, and I actually could have made more. Razz

As for why I’m posting these NOW, I know 60+ sites is a lot to take in, so I didn’t want to bore everyone to tears and do them in Duo format once the Orc

culture is complete. So I’m going to knock them out in big groups, and I’m going to do it NOW so that once the Orc

culture Duos are finished, all that will remain for the set is cleaning up the cultures (and possibly) sites, filling in holes and such, and we won’t have all the sites still hanging over our heads.

Anyway, enough justification: let’s get to the actual cards! Very Happy

The Lasting Alliances sitepath follows the journey of Bilbo, Gandalf, and Thorin and his Dwarves from the Bag End in the Shire to Erebor, the Lonely Mountain. So as you might have guessed, Site 1 is the lands around the Shire.

And here are the sites. Enjoy!

White

The Hill
Site 1 [LA]
Dwelling. Fellowship: Play a Dwarf and spot a Hobbit or Wizard to draw a card.

Alternatively, I thought about doing "Play a Hobbit and spot a Dwarf or Wizard to draw a card." Which do you think is better?

White

The Water
Site 1 [LA]
River. When the fellowship moves from this site, remove

for each Hobbit in the fellowship.

White

Under-Hill
Site 1 [LA]
Dwelling. Fellowship: Spot three races in the fellowship and add

to play a tale from your draw deck (limit twice).

White

Bywater
Site 1 [LA]
River. When the fellowship moves from this site, remove

for each race in the fellowship over 2.

White

The Great Mill
Site 1 [LA]
Dwelling. River. At the start of the fellowship phase, you may exert a Hobbit to play a Hobbit or Shire

possession from your draw deck.

White

Bywater Road
Site 1 [LA]
The twilight cost of each mount is -1.

Don’t worry...there are some more interesting site names later. Razz

Catchy Title. Give it the Mountain Keyword. I like this one, over the play a hobbit.

Cool. Another great title.

What deck won’t have two races, I mean, with no ARB’s in your set, really, then...come on. But also notice that you can do this an infinite number of times. This card is begging to be broken.

See previous comment.

Nice. Drag out some hobbits.

And...nobody would use it.

Heh. "The Hill" and "The Water" are directly from The Hobbit, actually. They seem like very silly names, but blame that on Tolkien. Razz

I made several changes. Hope they’re a little better now.

But "The Hill" is not a mountain!

It’s an awfully small hill, though...it’s where Bag End is. Think

I’ll do it if you really think I should, but personally, I don’t think it qualifies as a "mountain". Razz

Better the way you have it now, and it’s DEFINITELY not a mountain!

Good.

White

Under-Hill
Site 1 [LA]
Dwelling. At the start of the fellowship and maneuver phases, you may spot two races in the fellowship and add

(or

if you can spot three races in the fellowship) to play a tale from your draw deck.

Too complicated, and if it’s site 1 only you won’t be there for the maneuver phase. Take out the clause in brackets, or replace the main one with the brackets.

Bywater
Site 1 [LA]
River. When the fellowship moves from this site, remove

Good. These sites have a bit of a ’classic’ feel to them.

Great stuff! Like I said, a real classic feel.

Out of curiosity, why did you chose to abandon the shadows system of sites? Or did you simply make your cards before the site path was changed?

Okay, I cleaned it up.

Good! That’s what I was going for. Smile

Actually, I started these just after Shadows was released, but I wanted to go with the old sitepath (for this set, at least) because it just seemed to make sense for The Hobbit. I have it all mapped out in a way that actually makes sense, too, even the sanctuaries. I think you’ll like it. I hope so, at least.

BTW,

to both you and NB for reviewing. Thanks!

I bet that Rivendell and Laketown are the sanctuaries.

Beorn’s house seems more obvious to me.

1-Shire
2-Trollshaws
3-Rivendell
4-Misty Mountains
5-Warg Country
6-Beorn’s House
7-Mirkwood
8-Lake-town
9-The Lonely Mountain

Just my guesses. Am I right?
