Gosh, that really is long term planning game wise, but if you are ambitious and serious about the Hobby, that's going to happen. |

It would seem that my estimate for the date for the next game was hasty - work schedule will force us to postpone the planned gameplay this coming weekend. Well, perhaps we'll have better luck during the following week. I guess this teaches me - instead of giving a date, I'd better paraphrase Gandalf: expect a new battle report when you see a new battle report... |

Looking forward to it! I joined the one ring to be able to comment on your progress because I liked how great you've done on this campaign. |

Not trying to push you, but when is the next report coming out? |

I'm afraid I have to ask for a bit more patience... it will appear in due time, rest assured. I have two good reasons for the delay - the first is the same that caused the delay in August: my friend works on most weekends now, so we have far less time for gaming. The second reason is, I hope, even better - I got tired of poor old Sam always having to fight with a frying pan! Now that the Fellowship will be the main protagonist for the next six scenarios, I thought it would yield far better pictures to go with the battle reports if we had more character poses available. Hence, I've been sourcing alternate poses for just about all the Fellowship members, and will paint them before the next campaign game. That painting, however, is only the second on my list of urgent things to do - the first is to get the Isengard and Rohan armies to the stage where I can basecoat them outside. I'm racing against time here because the autumn is progressing fast and weather is getting cooler. Come late October, it may be too late to work outside with spray cans... but definitely not too late to play games inside! I hope you'll agree with me that prioritizing the mass basecoating outside and painting the alternate hero miniatures justifies the delay in gaming. There is a lot going on right now behind the scenes of our campaign, and I will post a WIP update soon. I will also post an updated third campaign chart - I sourced some woses, and thanks to that, we will add a suitable SBG scenario before the Pelennor Field battle. Stay tuned! |

Mate there's no need to feel apologetic for it, I'm eagerly awaiting your next report as well, but you have a life and you have priorities too so you should always be willing to do what you want or need to do before anything about this thread. We'll still be here waiting to read the reports and see the awesome pictures of your journey! |

Have you thought about posting some videos (WIP/battle reports) on YouTube? Especially for Helm’s Deep and Pelennor fields. This campaign needs the attention it deserves. Let’s not forget about the number of non-hobbyists who might potentially develop a will to get involved with the hobby after witnessing such awesome scenery/minis. (Sorry if this inquiry has been asked before). |

At least video WIP / tutorials have been requested, and I've been thinking about the possibility of doing videos - at the moment I lack suitable equipment, however, so this is not something I'd do in the near future. But a video battle report is a fun idea - I'll certainly want to try that at some point during the campaign. |

Hope I'm not jinxing it if I say that we should be able to play the next scenario within two weeks. We want to finish the game Beyond: Two Souls first, and need to spend a few more hours with Playstation 3 before returning to Middle-Earth... |

just read the entire campaign so far in one sitting. . .wow. Beautiful scenery, if I had the scenery from just one of those game I would be overjoyed. the writing in this is fantastic, I am already emotionally invested in these little guys. When Pippin died I squealed pathetically, and that tragic line "I hope Merry saw that" broke my heart. eagerly awaiting the next season! |

maybe i missed it but what did gandalf do after he defeated saruman? did he go straight to bree or did he first go to edoras to get shadowfax? most likely to bree right? What are you gonna do with shadowfax then? |

@Isilduhrr & GreenWyvern, thanks for the praise! We are but an hour away from completing Beyond, and quite likely can play the next scenario within a week or so. @Éomund, we didn't really think about that particular detail after the Duel of Wizards scenario. I don't know if you asked this because I painted Gandalf the Grey with a steed that looks a lot like Shadowfax? The way I would think this is that Gandalf would have warned Théoden about Saruman's treachery, and would have gained Shadowfax anyway in order to reach Frodo as soon as possible. He would then have let Shadowfax go, as he did canonically, too. Now, this actually illustrates an interesting point for a campaign - how does Gandalf the Grey transform into Gandalf the White? Obviously, if Gandalf the Grey dies in any scenario (and we fail any saving dice throws), he would return as Gandalf the White... but what if he beats the Balrog and lives? And if he dies, at what point does he return? We'll probably worry about that when we see how the Bridge of Khazad-dûm plays out...but any ideas and suggestions are welcome! I panted the mounted Gandalf for the contingency that Gandalf the Grey does not die before he reaches Rohan - then we'd have Gandalf the Grey again riding Shadowfax. |
