This is the beginning

Hello and welcome!

I am very excited to get started. My name is Chris and I am a fanatic when it comes to The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game.  For those who don't know, LOTR is a Living Card Game, or LCG, by Fantasy Flight Games. Unlike other LCGs, such as Android: Netrunner, LOTR is the only one which can be played solo or cooperatively. There is a competitive mode as well, but it is best not to discuss it.

Other than my love for the game, I am a husband, and father of two. Since becoming a father, I shifted from being a video gamer into board gaming. I found that modern video games have lost a lot of the social aspects that I remember from my youth. Board gaming files that niche, and in the last few years I have grown my collection to a reasonable (or unreasonable, if you ask my wife) size.

Now, what should you expect from this blog? First off, this will be a place where I will publicize new videos. I plan on making a variety of game play content, ranging from casual play to nightmare scenarios, and even some goofy, rule-breaking ones thrown in for fun. In addition, I would like to report on new content, whether that's new releases, or just news from FFG. In each, I will give my opinions, which I hope will be informative and entertaining.  I also hope that we can begin a dialog which positively lifts up the game I love, and hopefully brings more to enjoy this game.

Thank you so much for checking out this blog and I hope you continue to join me on this adventure!

Keep Running!
