I@n I used to work for Iron Crown Enterprises! It was my first job as a teenager in the summer of 1983, running the shrink wrap machine. Later I did design work and other stuff. As a result I have a ton of their stuff including the Middle-Earth cards but gaming geeks are few and far between in my town. Lots of dice rolling in that Tolkien game, kind of the opposite of Magic.

omg SLEEVE!!
I love the middle earth card game. i don't have any maps or region cards anymore, and i kind of forgot how to play. i barely have anything from the later expansions. i found a box of starters at electronics boutique for like $15 when i was in high school. and then a box of "dark minions" boosters even cheaper. that was mostly the extent of my experience with that game. but i recently rebuilt two decks and plan to search at my moms house for more stuff and maps and rulebook.
also, i stayed late at work for half an hour yesterday and played magic.

ian if I am ever in NYC I will bring a couple of decks! I will be in the Hudson Valley area for a coupla days over Thanksgiving week but not in the city, alas. also let me know if you need xerox copies of rules or maps or shit. I don't think I ever played with the region cards, that was an optional thing but I still have a lot of them because they came with the expansion sets.
When I first got those cards ('96 I think) I would set up opposing sets and play a game by myself to study the interactions. My girlfriend at the time came home one day...
her: "You know how I can tell you're really into this?
me: "Uh.. no."
her: "Because you don't have any music on"

it was not for like five hours it was really only like three cuz we didn't get back from brunch until at least 2.
i totally upgraded the blue/black deck and the green deck last night.
― ian, Monday, 15 October 2007 16:11 (sixteen years ago) link
jesus...this takes me back. I played Magic fucking constantly from age 14 or so till I was around 18. In the end I sold loads of my cards and recouped a certain amount of the money I'd spent over the years.
I remember we used to have huge "melees" that would go on till 4 or 5 in the morning.
how embarassing. it was a good game though!

really rad lotr card game out thats non-collectible
yeah i really enjoy this, also it is playable solo if all your friends are too cool
Is the new one revised or just a reissue?
it's revised into a "living card game" a la the lotr game, there are like mini-expansions that are the size of an old-school starter deck that all have the same cards. the lotr game is coop, with the players opposing a sort of rudimentary card AI, it works better than it sounds. the netrunner game is still PvP.
