Re: HoME General Discussion Thread
Hey team! Super excited to be onboard!
I think I agree with groups of 3+, and I definitely like starting with some less major players. Perhaps it could be an idea to start with a given scene, say the battle at Osgilliath for example, and do a few cards from that as a "wave", with couple of squads and a few heroes. That way I think we get the "wow factor" of a nice cohesive theme, but without using major characters to find our feet. Just my 2 cents! |

Re: HoME General Discussion Thread
Here's an idea: what if we move forward on brainstorming the fellowship, but we don't move any of them into design yet. The ideas can marinate and we can add to them as we have additional ideas; really hash things out. This would give us a bit of a "backlog" of drafts similar to what HoSS when they got really started (although much smaller)
Meanwhile, we try to design/edit/playtest and then finalize something else from the Fellowship of the Ring like Uruk-Hai of the White Hand, maybe an Uruk Hai hero from the movie, and a cave troll or Moria goblins or something.

Re: HoME General Discussion Thread
Ha! Maybe you need a poll: "Movie version of Middle Earth or book version"

Re: HoME General Discussion Thread
Hi all - as mentioned previously I'm excited to take part in this.
Regarding movies v. books, I agree with what Capsocrates already mentioned - using books as a primary source and movies only secondarily, such as when a character was not in the books (for example, Lurtz from the battle @ Amon Hen). That way we have the biggest possible pool of characters to pull from and keep it as authentic as possible. |

This may come as a surprise, but I 100% agree with this!

I also agree with books (original source) and then movie to fill out the rest. Also most figures we would use are from the movie or movie inspired, so it'd be weird to excise the films like that. |

Re: HoME General Discussion Thread
Mines of Maria could be a good place to start. It probably does force us to define our upper power end right off the bat with Durins Bane.

Re: HoME General Discussion Thread
The Balrog is probably another card we want to save for a bit.
I'm not envisioning we would release any cards before we release the fellowship. Just design these other cards and then do the fellowship and release them all together.

Re: HoME General Discussion Thread
@IAmBatman @quozl @Dysole @Xotli @Xorlof could we have a subforum for HoME please? No need for it to be private. And all the HoME threads moved into it? There are a few threads with that prefix in here that are very old it would also be nice to have moved over
