I was doing some reading this morning as I was wanting to do my troll tonight and it wasn't overall clear on Hill-Troll (stone troll's) colour. Cave trolls it seemed they had dark skin, but the Hill Troll's in the hobbit are almost white/flesh with brown on the darker areas.
 
I think I might go with the darker grey and lighter chest and get close to the movies. Some green to maybe simulate some fungus or something would be neat though.

I'd like an expansion focusing on the dark kingdom of Angmar, with lots of ghosts, undead and cursed ruins.

The only reason why I use my android device is because it can screen cast to a TV. The sound lags and cracks sometimes, but it is much easier than bringing a laptop (which I don't have) and running an hdmi to a TV.

I like that idea. I'm going to steal it.
 
I was playing a solo game and got to the picking weakness part of setup. It went something like this in my mind: Aragorn is burdened, wonder why that is ....... And Elena is ..... lazy... Guess that mystery is solved.

I like to blindly add the weakness to my deck. Adds some nice flavor when i attempt an important test, but find out that I'm Cut Off.

I like the app myself, I didn't find it intrusive, I thought it added to the experience.
People who are critical of the game say things like it tries to be all these different things and fails at all of them, but I don't agree.  I find the sum of all the parts to be an enjoyable experience.  With the app, it's sort of like playing a video game, but you also have the hands on physical experience of a board game.  You get to explore like a dungeon crawler, and you get to manage your decks like a card game.  Or you can look at the app sort of like a portable dungeon master in a box.  I also found it added greatly to the mood, theme, and atmosphere with its music, dialogue, and effects.

I think that if players are finding the game too difficult OR too easy they should read through the rules again. This game is still new; missed or misinterpreted rules can really change the difficulty.

Was the briefing before the first mission the only one with a voice over?
Seems kind of odd they'd do it for one and not the others to where it feels like a bug.

Hidden says to prevent all damage and discard. 22.12 says Abilities that explicitly use the word “prevent” always reduce damage or fear without the hero needing to perform a test. So I believe you discard hidden, and then do not test, unless there is fear remaining.

I would like to see more spirits, wights and undead. 🧟‍♂️
Also some Black Númenóreans!🏴

I like some app games. Mansions, Imperial Assault, and Descent with app work for me since they make the games coop and that's my preference.
 
However, I do think theme should be considered when making the app/board game decision and I find the world of Tolkien to be decidedly antithetical to the screen life. I wish this particular game required no screen time. If I can handle the Silmarillion I can handle a scenario book. For this game I'd prefer all analogue. But I have it and I'm enjoying it.

Now don't be hasty! 

Thank you for the kind words!  I’m very pleased to hear you’re both enjoying the videos (and the hobby!).
I’m looking forward to covering the Wights and the Hill Troll very soon... 😀
