Talking of Her Ladyship, here’s the first and only card (in this set) tying and Spiders together:
Black Night
Event • Shadow
Lock a Spider until the regroup phase to reinforce 2 or tokens.
Bilbo tried flapping his hand in front of his nose, but he could not see it at all.
H1 C 216
cool!
And the first and only Spider token card in the set:
The Lost Path
Condition • Support Area
Shadow: Play a Spider to add a token here.
Regroup: Spot a Spider and remove 3 tokens from here to play the fellowship’s next site.
’Good-bye! Be good, take care of yourselves - and DON’T LEAVE THE PATH!’
H1 U 214
weird very weird IMHO
And one of my favourite cards in the set:
• Shadow of the Necromancer
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a or card.
Shadow: Play a minion to add a threat. Discard this condition at the start of the maneuver phase.
’... and even you, Bilbo, won’t need me to tell you tales of that black sorceror.’

DáinIronfoot wrote: Eh, the lore’s kinda so-so for the card, but the text and all is fine. Actually, perhaps the first part should be worded "Each time you play a Spider, add a token here." I also think it should be unique.
As long as it’s worded the way it is, it doesn’t have to be unique, because you can only use 1 Shadow action at a time and therefore only 1 token on 1 card. If you think it’s better unique with effectively the same text, then I’ll change it, but then it combines with Shadow of the Necromancer.
DáinIronfoot wrote: Yikes. Raise the cost significantly, and again, perhaps reword like "Each time you play a minion during the Shadow phase, add a threat." The discarding needs to be on a seperate line, too.
Sorry, it’s not totally clear. The discarding thing is on the same line because it’s part of the ability. If you don’t use the ability, it stays there for as long as you like it. But, as soon as you use it even once, you have to discard it at the end of the Shadow phase. I also like it as a Shadow action so you can’t combine it with cards like The Lost Path. This stops infinite loops like cast from the hall, but if you think it’s unnecessary, I’ll change it.
Thanks for all your reviews, but I’m reluctant to raise its cost - I want it to be a powerful card. There are always supreme cards like captured by the ring or dark approach, and I like this being one of them (though it’s not much compared to those 2 I’ve mentioned).
Now to finish off the culture:
Mirkwood Spinner
Minion • Spider
Str: 9
Vit: 2
Sit: 6
Shadow: Spot another Spider and exert this minion to add . The Free Peoples player may add a threat to prevent this.
’Old fat spider spinning in a tree! / Old fat spider can’t see me!’
H1 C 230
Fat-Bodied Spider
Minion • Spider
Str: 6
Vit: 3
Sit: 6
When you play this minion, you may discard a card from play to add (or if that card was a Spider).
It had thought of starting the feast while the others were away, but Mr Baggins was in a hurry.
H1 R 220
Spider Swarm
Minion • Spider
Str: 12
Vit: 3
Sit: 6
Toil 1
Skirmish: Remove a threat to Lock (cancel the game text) all characters in this skirmish until the regroup phase.
As quick as lightning they came running and swinging towards the hobbit, flinging out their long threads in all directions.
H1 U 239
Bulbous Eyes
Event • Maneuver
Make a Spider gain terror 1 (each time this minion is assigned to a skirmish, you may make the Free Peoples player exert 1 companion) until the regroup phase (or terror 2 if you can spot 6 companions).
And sometimes they would gleam down from the branched just above him, and that was most terrifying.
H1 U 217
And continuing my Shadow cycle (first post 4th card):
• Waving Snares
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Spider.
Each time a spider is Locked, you may discard this condition to Lock a companion until the regroup phase.
... already some spiders were in the trees above them and throwing down their long clinging threads.
H1 U 242
Next time it will be with some lovely riddles and such-like in a new post.

Needs to cost 6 if it has toil and 12 strength as well as awesome gametext.

Very nice. Should it be "make it gain terror 1"?

I think I’d raise the cost to , especially considering the easy twilight addition.

I think it should be "all characters skirmishing this minion". is a little cheap...I’d do .

Since it can only happen once, I think it should be "Response: If a Spider is Locked....". But maybe not. *shrug* |

Thanks guys, and I’ve made some of Dain’s recommended changes (I took down the Spider Swarm’s vitality instead of raising its cost). culture is now finished and all the cards are now on the first post. Next we’re on to , and you’ll be pleased to know that there’s not much left.
