Post your Gemp-LotR bugs here

[Shelobplayer]

Not so much a bug, more a typo... Gil-Galad, HKOTN is missing the elven culture icon from its game text at his first ability (as the errata text is shown in GEMP). I know it caused a bit of confusion for some players thinking it can return any skirmish event and never really understood why until just now I noticed it.

Not a big deal though, just saying

Bug with Dead Marshes - the card says you may play "up to 2" Sauron conditions from your discard, but when you use the card it forces you to play 2 if you have at least 2 in the discard. In the replay at Site 9 I wanted to only play 1 as the other condition would have exerted my orc, but I wasn't given the option to decline playing the second condition.

Just making a note that the same error exists for Morgul Squealer.

At site 5, The Witch-king, Deathless Lord didn't activate when a companion was killed. Since every companion was exhausted, I should have been able to wound the only ally he had in play.

Throne of the Golden Hall lets you exert the Man about to take a wound, but the card says "exert another".

Seeking New Foes forces the Shadow player to do Lurkers last, but this restriction applies only to the FP player.

Cast from the Hall seems to function the way it did pre-errata

Ford of Bruinen lets you play EVERY Nazgul, not just the first at -5 twilight!

Now everyone has something to complain about regarding the power of Nazgul in F-Block

A great deal of bugs have been fixed over the past few months; the change log will be updated in the next server patch. I think all bugs mentioned in this thread have either been fixed or are listed below, so this should serve as a good marker for new bug reports. Here are the known (and undisputed) bugs which remain:

Throne of the Golden Hall lets you exert the Man about to take a wound, but the card says "exert another".
Seeking New Foes forces the Shadow player to do Lurkers last, but this restriction applies only to the FP player.
Cast from the Hall seems to function the way it did pre-errata
Halls of My Home is a forced discard, rather than an optional one (thanks to Dictionary for these)
Orkish Sneak doesn't always work as intended
Final Cry can't be used if The Balrog dies as a result of the skirmish
The Witch-king, Deathless Lord does nothing if all companions and allies are exhausted
Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom does nothing if there are no burdens and only one threat
Drawn to Its Power (and similar effects) adds a burden even if it was The Ring-bearer who was killed
Dwarven Axe discards one card per minion rather than one card per player
Discarding from Watcher in the Water doesn't prevent certain effects when minions are played (such as Moria Scout and Fat One Wants It)
Allies can transfer items to other allies with different home sites (a patch for this one has been made, courtesy of Tbiesty)
Game crashes when replacing a controlled site

[Durin's Heir]

In Gemp, does Final Cry work if The Balrog survives the skirmish but his Whip doesn't? (a fortification + Fall Back.)

[Dictionary]

Loud and Strong can be used both while it is in play and while it is in your hand.

I seriously have no idea how that one happened

[Phallen Cassidy]

In Gemp, does Final Cry work if The Balrog survives the skirmish but his Whip doesn't? (a fortification + Fall Back.)

No, currently Gemp doesn't keep track of whether Whip of Many Thongs started in the skirmish, only if it ended in the skirmish. It does keep track of minions though, which is why I could get Loathsome fixed and Final Cry is still broken. Adding that capacity is on my list of things to figure out.

[Durin's Heir]

Perhaps you can make the event, while in hand, "spot" the Whip in play during the (Balrog's) skirmish to activate itself. To trigger then at the end of the skirmish, with or without a Balrog or Whip.

I mean, it'd be a specific event checking a present situation to "unlock" a future potential response, in constrast to the game checking for a past situation.

[Dictionary]

Tower Troll's prevention prompt is "Would you like to - null - to prevent" rather than "Would you like to - exert a companion - to prevent"

[Dictionary]

This isn't really a bug as such, but Gemp is very inconsistent with applying accents. All versions of Eomer, Eowyn and Theoden have them, as well as Eowyn's Sword, but their other equipment doesn't. Smeagol, Deagol and Leowyn don't. The Sister-children of Theoden also don't. Neither does Hama.

To put it another way, most cards don't have them, but a few do. This was brought up 6 years ago (Page 52, this thread), perhaps with intent to add the missing accents, but that never happened. I would argue having them is actually detrimental as they don't appear when searched for normally, and they won't link when transferred to a Last Homely House deck. I believe the wiki doesn't use them because of encoding issues. In any case, it ought to be one way or another. It's a bit weird to search for "Eowyn" and just get "Leowyn" and "Eowyn's Shield".

[Dictionary]

Heir to Meduseld's damage bonus appears to be based on whether "he is mounted" and not whether he "bears a mount" as far as I can tell?

From rulebook: "A mounted character means one who is 'bearing a possession with the class of mount.'" It doesn't specify the opposite, that a character who is mounted counts as bearing a mount.

So Rohan Stable Master shouldn't make Heir to Meduseld damage+1 (I think pretty much every other card talks about mounted, rather than "bearing a mount").

[Dictionary]

Into the Caves seems to remove all keywords the same way Northwoman does, rather than all keywords of your choice. Not that it matters 99% of the time.
