This is the ringbearer card, Frodo, Unsung Hero.
He seems cool, just powerful. A limit of some sort would make him great.

Bilbo's Study is super cool, I like the addition to tales for FOTR.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm not sure what to do about the Frodo card, I do agree that it is rather op. I personally don't play with allies that much so I may have underestimated how much use I would get out of it. I also will be adding (hopefully) more tales to the set.

You could change his text to "At the start of the fellowship phase, spot a [Shire] ally to play an [Elven] or [Shire] tale from your deck.

Alright, the next card is here! He's a  [Shire] character from the books kind of like Old Noakes. The character is... Fatty Bolger! I know that there is already a card for him in set 18 but I like this version better. Keep in mind that this is not a final card, I will make edits that make sense. If there is something wrong with the card, please let me know in the comments and I will fix it.

I like him. He's not that different than Hobbit Party Guest, but draws a card when played, has 1 more vitality, and he doesn't self-heal. Plus he's unique, balancing him further.

Only thing I'm seeing off about the card is instead of Home 1 • Hobbit, he should say Ally • Home 1 • Hobbit. Other than that, it looks awesome!

Alright, I fixed fatty bolger. I made him less like Hobbit Party Guest and I fixed the issue with the card type, Thanks Jamescb.

I've been making a lot of allies for set 20 and I believe that this is the last one. Hobbit Craftsman is useful for finding specific cards in your draw deck. He can also be used to buff hobbit companions/allies.
Here are a few questions that I have about this card:
Is twilight  [2] too much or to little?
Is the card way to overpowered?
Should it be a rare card?
Thanks for the feedback on the rest of the cards for set 20, it's really nice to know what people want to see.

It's a big day for new cards, I created the first event for the  [Shire] culture.
I was also creating some mockups for a custom booster pack that will be released on Wednesday. I hope you guys are enjoying this new set, I've put a lot of work into it. Thanks for the support.

So, first off, it's almost pointless to quibble over rarity.  Rarity is only really a concept for sealed and draft formats in this day and age, and anybody who's gonna use your cards will be doing so in an unlimited constructed format.  If draft becomes a thing, it'll be something you don't have a hope of balancing until you have the entire card base set up, so I would advise just setting rarity aside.

For the fellowship ability, the discount is wholly unnecessary.  You're getting to pull a possession, any possession, for basically free (this is Shire we're talking about, the exertions are gonna get healed away), from either draw or discard. If anything it ought to cost 1 or 2 more, and I would restrict it to just one or the other.

The second ability might work out (assuming that "Regroup" was meant to be "Skirmish").  Just remember that when you discard a weapon, you lose that weapon's strength, so using this on a hobbit sword is in effect a +1, and on a frying pan a +2.  Other possessions would have to justify their inclusion, which admittedly the first ability helps with.

Lastly, consider uploading your card images to a website like https://imgur.com and then embed them here; the attachment model makes them a bit annoying to consume (and that way you can have albums for clusters of cards).

I didn't even realize that I had said regroup, It was supposed to be discard a possession to make a hobbit strength +3 until the regroup phase.

I do realize that his first ability is OP, but so is The Gaffer, and Filibert Bolger, especially when you have Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir.

This is hugely more Op than either the Gaffer or Filibert. This with stuff like Pipeweed is just completely bonkers, not to mention pulling all sorts of weapons and such to filter the deck.
