    Title.  I need more content for this game.  And usually I'd just create content myself but since that's going to take a while for fans to reverse engineer the app,  I figured a podcast would work :)

    You might be interested in this.

    Right now I think there is only the one user-created adventure.  I'd love to see more.

    I'm not sure I understand the difference between "convert 2 fate to 1 success" and "convert up to 2 fate to 1 success."  Do you mean you could convert up to 2 fate symbols each into a success (with the provision there are no nearby heroes)?  If so I think that is a bit OP, especially considering Bilbo is very good at generating inspiration and has a high inspiration limit.  Limiting it to one success would be on par with the Delver skill Shadow Sight, which does the same thing, but with the condition of being in darkness instead of having no nearby heroes.

    I'll agree, Self-Sufficient isn't a very strong card.  It might get Bilbo out of a pinch every now and then and help conserve inspiration a little bit, but in my experience it doesn't come into play too often.  I'm more interested in Self-Sufficient for the Hide keyword though, especially if I'm playing Bilbo since he has such a low damage threshold.

    Also, as a clarification, Self-Sufficient does not belong to Bilbo, but to the Burglar role.

    Thank you for answer about distance, I thought otherwise.

    Yes, I was talking about Reforging. What happens when I prepare Reforging again after discarding it?

    It's in Haunting of Dale, between 5th and 7th adventure, I don't remember

    You're welcome.  I recently had the same question myself so glad I could help.

     

    Here is the text on Reforging:

    "After setup equip the Hammer and Tongs Trinket.

    During your turn, you may discard this skill to prepare a skill from your discard pile."

    The first line only applies during the setup of each adventure.  Each time you have Reforging prepared, you can discard it to prepare a card from your discard pile.

     

    I haven't made it that far into the Haunting of Dale, so I can only speculate.  If you look at the text for the Strike Keyword, is says:

    During your attack test, you may discard a card that has the "Strike X" keyword to add X hits to the attack.  

    So it would depend on if the event you are referring to is classified as an attack test or not.  Sometime the app will tell you specifically "this is not an attack test" or something like that in special situations.

    I can't answer questions 1 or 3 cause I don't have the expansion but as for question 2: Yes, if the amount of moves are enough for the enemy to get to your place, it will enter

    That's not true.  An enemy will stop once it is in range so if a ranged enemy is moving towards a hero, it should stop in an adjacent space.

     

    As for question 1, I think you are talking about the Smith 1 card, Reforging, which tells you to equip the Hammer and Tongs trinket.  You prepare this at the start of the adventure during setup and place 3 depletion tokens on it, which you may use throughout that adventure.  It is part of your gear, like your weapon or armor, not part of your skill card deck.

     

    And questions 3 I can't answer without more context.  Which campaign is that from?  I don't remember anything like that before, though I haven't gotten through the Haunting of Dale yet.

    I received mine today and I'll say the only figure I thought was a bit below the standard FFG has set was Ollie.  He had some decent gaps as already pointed out and the left side of his helmet lined up a little funny down towards his shoulder.  I don't care too much since once I get them painted and on the board I barely ever look close enough to notice.  I managed to drop my Supplicant as I was getting ready to prime him and one of his hands broke off!  I'm going to pretend he tried to steal a Silmaril from Morgoth...

    You will have to choose alternate gear for some heroes.  This can be done in the app during the campaign setup.  There is a screen that shows each character's equipment.  To change it, simply click on the gear you would like to change and select an alternate from the list.

    Of course selecting alternate gear is always an option, even if there are no conflicts with the default selections.  I find playing around with different gear and roles for the heroes is quite fun and brings a lot of entertainment to the game.

    @Annette Soleil almost correct!

    1st: Inspiration in combination with a lot of possibilities at higher level

    2nd: Killers

    3d: Main explorers/sprinting/All-round

    4th: Support

     

    We chose Gandalf, Legolas, Aragorn, Balin. We encountered two problems: 

    - Almost no inspiration

    - Not enough support (healing, transporting, strikes)

     

    Any ideas which character(s) to replace with which?

    If those are your categories (and I'm assuming you are considering default roles and gear),  I think Balin belongs in the Explorer category and Aragorn belongs in the Support category.  Delver has a ton of Sprint and is uniquely good in darkness, making him a master at exploring caves.  Captain on the other hand really thrives off being close to other heroes and providing support in battle.

    As for generating inspiration, Elena/Musician is very good and has excellent healing cards to boot (Lay of Twilight can actually remove 4 fear and 4 damage for a total of 8 cards each time it is used!).  She might be the single best support in the game.  Traveller is very good at generating inspiration for others as with Over Ridge and Rill.  I usually keep it card prepared until the entire map is revealed.  Pathfinder can be very good at generating inspiration as well with Trailblazer.  If you keep it prepared and take advantage of all the Sprint cards in Beravor's deck and the Pathfinder role, you not only generate a lot of inspiration, but you also get a lot of scout from Beravor's personal ability.  Dis has Strength of Thrain which is decent at generating inspiration and Balin has Misty Mountain Cold which isn't bad either.  Lot's of other roles have cards that generate decent inspiration too.

    If you find you are struggling, I would suggests playing around with different gear and roles as well.  For instance, I think Balin is much more potent in combat with the Sword/Shield than the Hatchet/Shield.  And I think Gimli with the Hammer is better than Gimli with the Axe.  Legolas makes a pretty good Pathfinder since he can make better use of Ambush if he's using a ranged weapon.

    EDIT:  And to answer your question, I would switch Legolas to Pathfinder so he could pick up inspiration from sprinting and pick up the Ambush cards to get free attack actions.  I would also swap Balin for Elena to get inspiration for your party and get some good healing.

    I can't seem to get this to work.  Is HTML the right language to use, or did the syntax change recently?

    Edit: OK I got it to work.  I was thinking you needed to add a section of code, which you do not.  The ender did not work for me though.  It still hid everything below the opener.

    ugh. May have to house rule it and just nuke the bosses on their revive. My group feels cheated when the bosses get their second wind.

    I have found that not knowing a boss is going to respawn is quite a shock and not easy to recover from.  If you go into the fight knowing what you will be facing, it is much more manageable.  In case you'd like to know what is coming, you have to beat the final boss in both the Ember Crown and Shadowed Path campaigns

    So I was really disappointed with the amount of face time Atarin actually received in the original campaign.  I spent a while painting his figure and getting him ready for an epic battle, but his spirit was on the board longer than he was.  For those of you who have played through the expansion does he pop up again?  I don't need specifics as to how but I feel really let down on the amount of face time this great mini actually received.  Makes buying and painting these extra figures kind of worthless.

    I'm pretty sure he will only show up in Bones or Arnor.
