Then here’s some ranger stuff, including a couple more tales. Remember, one of the two versions of Boromir in this set is a ranger, so potentially both he AND Aragorn could use these.  There will also be a small handful (just 2 or 3) of Elf rangers in the set too, so keep that in mind. Enjoy!
 •Buzzing With Excitement 
Condition • Support Area
Tale.
Each time the fellowship moves from a dwelling or sanctuary, you may discard a tale from play to remove for each of the following you can spot: ranger, Ring-bound Hobbit, unbound Hobbit,  ally.
“Frodo’s vanishing trick; the appearance of the black horsemen; the robbing of the stables; and not least the news that Strider the Ranger had joined the mysterious hobbits, made such a tale as would last for many uneventful years.”
 Mysterious Wanderers
Event • Regroup
Tale.
Spot a Man to remove for each ranger you can spot.
“The Bree-folk called them Rangers, and knew nothing of their origin. They were taller and darker than the Men of Bree and were believed to have strange powers of sight and hearing...but they were now few and rarely seen.”
People of the Old Kings
Event • Fellowship
Exert a ranger (or Gandalf) and add a burden to play a ranger from your draw deck or discard pile.
“‘Only a Ranger! My dear Frodo, that is just what the Rangers are: the last remnant in the North of the great people, the Men of the West. They have helped me before; and I shall need their help in the days to come....’” |

Not bad, considering Safe Passage has less spotting requirements than this.

It would be funny (maybe just a tad bit more balanced) if you had it cost  .

Why a ally? Who are you thinking of? Barliman? Very nice. It’s good practice to specify ’from play’ when discarding things - decipher have been doing that recently.

This has got to cost more, momentous gathering costs , a wizard is never late costs , simbelmyne costs and they’re all events!

For Buzzing With Excitement, I was thinking of the residents of Bree in general. The scene is from this passage, where Aragorn and the Hobbits have bought Bill the pony and are preparing to leave Bree for the long road ahead:
Quote: After their breakfast the hobbits had to re-pack, and get together further supplies for the longer journey they were now expecting. It was close on ten o’clock before they at last got off. By that time the whole of Bree was buzzing with excitement. Frodo’s vanishing trick; the appearance of the black horsemen; the robbing of the stables; and not least the news that Strider the Ranger had joined the mysterious hobbits, made such a tale as would last for many uneventful years. Most of the inhabitants of Bree and Staddle, and many even from Combe and Archet, were crowded in the road to see the travellers start. The other guests in the inn were at the doors or hanging out of the windows.
So the "picture" would be of the Bree-landers seeing them off, hence the ally part. It makes for a nifty little combo, especially since Hobbits already work rather well with some of the allies in the set.
Anyway, I also changed People of the Old Kings to an event. Thanks to both of you! |

Good call. Done.

In this case, I think it’s better without specifying. Otherwise this would be pretty useless within the confines of The Road Ahead. |

Instead of the two hobbit options, you could just say: "Hobbit companion." Nice card.

No such things as unique events, methinks.  Unless this is some new mechanic you threw in that I didn’t notice.
About the same as A Wizard is Never Late, but... I don’t know. Maybe cost it more like this: "Spot a ranger (or Gandalf) and add a burden to..."

Made some changes. Thanks again, guys!
Here’s a couple more possessions. I know, I know...I said I was done with possessions. I THOUGHT I was, but I came up with these since then, so sue me. Enjoy!
Asëa Aranion
Possession
Bearer must be a ranger.
Fellowship: Discard this possession and add a threat to heal a companion or discard a Shadow condition borne by a companion.
“...it is a healing plant that the Men of the West brought to Middle-earth. ‘Athelas’ they named it, and it grows now sparsely and only near places where they dwelt or camped of old; and it is not known in the North, except to some of those who wander in the Wild.”
Just another name for Athelas/Kingsfoil. I hope I don’t decide to do it again in, say, The End Of All Thing (my RotK set), because if I do, I’m out of Tolkien’s names for the weed!
•Aragorn’s Pipe, Curiously Carved
Possession • Pipe
Bearer must be a companion.
Fellowship: Discard a pipeweed, spot X pipes, and add (X) to remove X threats.
Fellowship: If bearer is Aragorn, discard a pipeweed to heal a companion (twice if that companion has the Aragorn signet).
“He felt that black shapes were advancing to smother him; but when he sat up he saw nothing but the back of Strider sitting hunched up, smoking his pipe, and watching.”
This more than likely WILL have another version in one of the later sets, since Aragorn is one of few we see smoking thoughtfully throughout the series. That one will likely be able to be borne only by him, so this is kind of a link between that and Decipher’s original. |
