Wow, I have my usual 3 reviewers back for once!

I will make some changes to those cards a bit later, but for now I wanted to post some more.

This condition is in some sense a mirror of a

card coming later (about search cards). I'm not sure whether I like it especially, but it seemed a fair enough card, I suppose. Anyway, I like the stealth cards following much more!

Preparing for the Journey

When you play this condition, you may foresee 1.
While you can spot 2

companions, each stealth card is twilight cost -1.

It's unlikely I'll be posting every day like I used to, but you can expect regular reviews from me again.

The first line needs to be culturally enforced, I think. I might make the cost a little higher and slap some toil on it, but I know you're usually not a big fan of that....

Kind of hand clogging...but events like this are a necessary evil, methinks. No reason for it to cost

when it also adds a burden, though.

Slipping Away+Bilbo, Melancholy Hobbit= Broken Combo. Maybe up the resistant requirement some, so the fpp has to get out resistance boosting conditions, etc before it becomes too useful.

I don't think it's broken - it's certainly quite good, but it seems to me like Daddy Two-foot + No Visitors is a lot more reliable.

I'll lower the cost of Get Out of Sight!. I've also made some changes to the earlier cards; what do you think of the new Fear of Discovery? For now, let's have some more cards!

•Bilbo, Contented Hobbit

Companion • Hobbit
Str: 3
Vit: 4
Res: 8
Ring-bound.
To play, spot a

card.
Each time the fellowship moves, you may reveal the top card of your draw deck. If it is a Free Peoples card, you may heal a companion of the same culture as that card.
"‘I was very comfortable here, and getting on with my book.'"
L R 143

Support in Fellowship

Event • Fellowship
Tale.
Spot a

companion to heal each companion with resistance 8 or more.
L C 162

•Sting, Ancient Blade

Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be Bilbo, Frodo or Sam.
While bearer is skirmishing a minion with strength less than bearer's resistance, bearer is strength +2.
L R 160

No, foresee 1 is look at the top card, then put it on the top or bottom of your deck. This is, once again, an incarnation of my herald mechanic creeping in.

Whats with the weird phrasing of "shares a culture"?

Ah, I'm thinking in MTG wording. Yeah you're probably right!

compare to farewell to lorien. I'd make it 6-7 or more

Str: +2

should it be less than bearers resistance? its kind of confusing otherwise.

Resistance 7 or more might be okay.

Why not just say "Bearer must be a Ring-bound Hobbit"? No big deal either way, but I thought I'd ask.

One tweak: "...less than bearer's resistance, bearer is strength +2". Helps avoid confusion. I love this card, though. Brilliant!

I'd rather it was 8 - I'm trying to keep to each culture liking a particular resistance number, and for

it's 8.

Yep, thought of that. The reason I didn't do it is because (the mechanics reason) there might possibly be other Ring-bound Hobbits in the realm of existence (or ways to make your Hobbits Ring-bound - I'm thinking of your card, DI, that makes everyone with the Frodo signet Ring-bound) and (the aesthetics reason) it just sounds much cooler to name them!

I didn't think there was any confusion - after all, minions don't have resistance.

but it still can cause confusion, even if they don't...it makes you do a double take and all. its just neater as bearer.

I agree. The last "he" is especially confusing. Yes, I think we all know what it means, but there is room for ambiguity there, and that's never good.

Wow. I can see what you mean with No Visitors. I guess I was comparing it to Incognito+Daddy Twofoot+Hobbit Party Guest+Home and Hearth......
