So, I have one card that says add a burden, and another that says... if you can spot the ringbearer wearing the one ring and a twilight nazgul, add 3 burdens. So, Can I play the first card and then the second? Or is frodo actually not wearing the ring even though he took a burden?

hi, when a card add a burden, the ring bearer don't wear the ring.
you can play resistance becomes unbearable. if the ring bearer is exaust, the card say: wear the one ring, and then you can play the twilling world.
i tested this deck, it was pretty fun, i play gollum dark as darkness, with 4 copies of captured by the ring

huh. So do you just discard smeagol with a card before he dies and bring him back with the other?

Bozoderek, you are correct in saying that he is not wearing the ring. There are several cards that add burdens without making the ring-bearer wear the ring. One that comes to mind as an example is It Wants to be Found. However, unless a card specifically states that he puts on the ring (as with malo's example with Resistance Becomes Unbearable), then the card simply adds a burden (play it just as it reads).
The 3 burden Wraith World card you mention is a nice one - there is more than one way of making it work. For example, the twilight Witch-King and Enquea wound Frodo if they win, at which point the opponent may put on the ring to take those wounds as burdens if he/she chooses. That would be an opportunity to play Wraith World/Twilight World.

Remember the golden rule of TCGs: All cards do what they say.
When a card says to add a burden, that's exactly what you do. It doesn't say to put on the Ring, so you don't.
