Lord of the Rings LCG - Ninjadorg fan made content

As I've mentioned before, I've been playing Lord of the Rings card game recently and been having an amazing amount of fun with it.  The game does a fantastic job of bringing the world of Middle Earth to your tabletop using nothing but cards.  This is especially true for those who are serious fans of Tolkien (this isn't actually me as I've only read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) as the developers have done a really good job of turning theme into mechanics.

However, what brings the game to life for me is the opportunity to go on a grand quest over several different games - with each game building a different chapter in that quest.  You can see some of that in my previous posts about the game on this blog.  I had some difficulty getting the Adventure Packs for this game so while I was still hunting for them, I decided to try out some of the fan made scenarios on BGG (and really, there is an amazing amount of fan created content for this game).

I started out with ninjadorg's fan made scenarios.  Ninjadorg has created an amazing amount of content for different games and is a really well known member of BGG so his scenarios seemed like a good starting point for fan made content.

Overall, he has done a really good job of coming up with interesting twists to create interesting scenarios.  And throughout this, he was able to weave an ongoing story into each mission so that the overall story develops as you progress through his scenarios.  This is a really good way to entice players to keep playing through the scenarios as you want to see what happens next.

Ninjadorg has also managed to explore the gamespace really well.  His first scenario is actually really basic and easy.  However, with subsequent scenarios, he really mixes things up well and introduces different twists in the mechanics to make that scenario interesting and challenging.

I really have to give kudos to Ninjadorg for coming up with a set of interesting scenarios that come together to make up an interesting story while at the same time introducing new challenges for your decks to face.
