    There may have been a database loss when the site was down unfortunately.

    I’ll check the Aragorn thing, it should appear but I’m currently on holiday so it will have to wait until August.

    @TragicTheBlathering what information on nightmare would you like to see? I’ve wondered for a while but can’t see what information would be interesting, the setup card provide all the info you need. Nightmares are not rules per se, rather a mod of the scenario.

    easy mode is included because it did not exist at the beginning of the game and you need a list of cards for earlier encounter sets.

    I enjoy handling, looking at, and reading about the cards.  I like listening to the podcasts and watching the progression series videos.  I read the forum (and BGG) on an almost daily basis.  I daydream about playing.

    I think this is a good way to enjoy this game. I spend more time doing what you describe than playing the game. And I’m sure it’s quite common.

    Just make your peace with that!

    The best way to enjoy this game is to play it.

    I think a lot of us spend more time thinking and writing about the game than actually playing it, and are ok with that.

    I think the main issue you may have is that you want a card game but want to play it as a computer game.

    Yes, taking a deck out of your binder takes 24minutes, and 2.4 seconds on octgn. So you’ll find yourself playing the same deck quite a number of times with the physical cards, tweaking it, adapting it to tour play experience and many expected defeat. That is supposed to be thr game experience delivered by this game. And once your deck is built, taking it out of the deckbox is 2.4 seconds, setting up the quest a few minutes at most then go and play.

    You just have to accept you won’t be changing your deck every time you play.

    Also, you can prepare your deckbuilding on ringsdb and once you have your list, the extraction of cards is certainly not 24minutes.

    Slow down and enjoy the sleeving/desleeving, it soothes the mind! :)

    Looking at those gorgeous cards in their binder and slowly taking them out to build a deck is precisely what OCTGN can’t give you. I also find it helps being creative just because you stumble upon seldom used cards which you’d never have included in a build otherwise.

    But from what I could understand on your topic on canonical deck, you do not enjoy that part of the game.

    This is due to the nature of LOTR LCG fandom which is dispersed in several places. The discord channel is super active, the facebook page and boardgamegeek forums see a lot of conversation (and a never ending influx of new players, as I see new faces each time I go there).

    A lot of people left the LOTR FFG forums due to the constant negativity and aggressiveness of certain individuals (who have not been the same over time). That's a fact.
