Card Talk

As our trip down Guarded (X) card lane continues, we talk about Glamdring, Gandalf's sword from the lengendarium. This is the Lore version of the weapon that gives the attached hero (or Gandalf) +2 attack strength. The card costs 1, but is the Guarded (X) make the cost too much?

At Con of the Rings, I was fortunate enough to host a designer interview with both Caleb Grace and Matt Newman. In this interview, we talk card design, abstractions, and about the infamous "break."

Special thanks to McDog, an organizer of the Con who shot the video and allowed me to edit this for distribution to the community after my audio file was corrupted!

Enjoy!

This past weekend was Con of the Rings, a convention specifically designed for and organized by members of the Lord of the Rings Living Card Game Community. In this episode we have on several participants that talk about the Con and how awesome it was. Yup! This show s designed to make you jealous of the AMAZING time we had and hopefully convince you to come out next year.

Included in this show with our hosts is Joseph Forster, Caleb Grace, John Rodgers, Dan Poage, and Derek Kamal.

Also, we apologize for any audio quality issues. We worked hard on trying to pick up all the guests while cutting down on ambient noise. It was tough and we tried.

Lastly, in order to turn this episode around quickly for the community, I didn't cut anything from the show.

Enjoy!

This week the guys talk about the Necklace of Girion. Yup, it's guarded. Yup, it's neutral. Yup, it costs 1. But do the benefits outweigh the guarded cons?

What an awesome show! Kristian joins us to talk about the Ring of Thror. He takes us through the whole card, literally, as we discuss everything from the name all the way down to the artist. Thanks to him for joining us on the show!!!
