Hey! Yeah! My post here ? I still go back there for some useful links. Not sure I am in a position to gauge the health of the community/game or even of the community/game’s web presence. So far I have mostly gone around looking for PDFs of things I printed out long ago, and mostly found them. Other ...

Links to the PDFs:

Radagast - Dodging Hobbits And Nasty Animals
Pallando - Return Of The King And Of The Undead
Gandalf - Fetching Magic Rings With Orcs Trolls
Alatar - We Are Sailing You Are Staying
Saruman - To The East Away From Thiefs

I am feeling the love! :D Just for what it is worth, I also am taking the approach of using METW-only, and Starter Rules. And I can actually see that lasting me for a very long time.

By example the names of the Nazgul as used in MECCG werent used by Decipher in their LOTR game, because ICE had the rights to those names, since they had invented them t...

I'm amazed this conversation has proceeded for so long along this vein. It's quite simple. TOLKIEN ENTERPRISES owns the rights to all games based on The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings . MECCG is wholly its property and always was. "(c) Tolkien Enterprises" is on every MECCG card and in e...

Hi, all! I am a newbie to this amazing game. I am posting in a spirit of humility and thankfulness to all your time and work in preserving the community. So I hope nobody will be offended by my frankness, but I have been emboldened by my, so far, very pleasant encounters with some of you, to jump in...
