About

Long was the way that fate them bore,
O’er stony mountains cold and grey,
Through halls of iron and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless.

Darkling Door is a blog about the Lord of the Rings Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games.

I started this blog with my Thematic Nightmare series, which is dedicated to building thematic decks to defeat nightmare quests.

I also ran a series for a while called Path Less Traveled, in which I examined what would happen if new players were to buy the various cycles of the game out of order. This was before the revised cycles came out, but modern new players working with a limited budget may still find them interesting!

In addition to my regular series, I sometimes spend my time musing on the metagame.
