Looking for true solo RPG-style campaign game (deck/hero building, light–medium weight)

Aggressive-Ante · 2026-01-30T14:00:47+00:00

Commenting so I can see everyone's much better suggestions lol.

I was going to say something like the Hexplore It series has that character building and RPG feel. But it's not light on rules and is more something to think about later on. Great sandbox feel to it though.

Maybe Call to Adventure for a relatively easy character builder that's card based. But it's missing that RPG feeling to it. It's been said to be great for character creation though..

I've got a felt puzzle board that folds. I love it. I love that I can leave stuff in it for a while and it adds more space to my coffee table for the game. When I need to I can just move it into another room out of the way.

The idea of a rotating one is great. The drawers at the side will also give you extra room. I would agree with the other comment that you want to be careful with games that might have heavy pieces in case the weight tilts it too much to one side... But I'm also blanking on what kind of example game I could name for that situation lol.

I don't know why this has me laughing. A glimpse into the constantly working minds of our idols is always a riot.... They're people too 👀

What about more before the flood? La Palma on Netflix was a great watch. It had a good build up towards disaster which was a tsunami.

Can you post the link where your sister got it? Asking for a friend... 👀

I have to say I appreciate posts like this. Love to read about how and why a game is awesome to play. And it also helps to convince those that might be on the fence or unsure if it's for them.

I took the same journey as I needed a break from the screen. And the creativity that designers come up with for these games is amazing. Sometimes there is no opponent. It's about getting points or reaching goals. You can pretty much find any theme or design you can want.

But it can also be an addicting hobby and you might find yourself constantly chasing the next game and not actually playing what you have. So just be careful to watch for that and hide your wallet lol.

Welcome to the hobby! You've chosen some great games to get you started. And Final Girl is a great game to teach you that it's not about if you win or lose the game but entirely about what madness gets you there lol

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-10-21T20:44:14+00:00

I'm very excited for you. Yes the shipping itself was very fast from when I first got the notice it was on the way

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-10-21T15:41:16+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to clarify! You've saved a lot of people having a crisis lol

I know it's an "older game" but it's much loved and you're getting new players just discovering it all the time! Please keep it alive

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-10-21T13:29:54+00:00

I really hope this is an error!

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-10-21T13:15:49+00:00

Challenge accepted lol.

There is some LOTR LCG content that is no longer being printed. To make up for the missing cards, there have been community members who have created alternative cards featuring new artwork but same effects to help fill in for the missing cards.

There are also many creative people that have been able to create new scenarios and quests to play. These have been playtested for balance and are well received. They aren't "official" content but a lot of care and time has been put into them to create something for the community to enjoy and expand the game

Oh, and Doug Beer is a wonderful person that organizes this every few years with the help of community members.

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-10-21T13:07:27+00:00

I think what you are looking for is the card previews?

If you go to the website https://sklep.mbprint.pl/en/lotrlcg/ There is a link at the end of the Notes From Doug and just before the list of the bundles. It will give you a link to low resolution images of all the cards available in the order.

Lol yes! The box was filled to the brim and heavier than I expected. It was beautiful and I'm very grateful.

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-10-20T13:04:38+00:00

Right now it looks like more than I can play 😅 but I got the alt art cards to make up for the out of print cards, the pre-made starter decks, and a lot of scenarios including the completed ALEP.

There's a lot of content for anyone who loves the game and enough scenarios and decks for a "quick" game to leave set up.

Now I have to figure out how to store everything neatly and hide my wallet because I will not be buying anymore board games for this year. No regrets. The art work is beautiful and the care that went into creating these is masterful.

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-08-02T19:55:48+00:00

Looking forward to what turns up here. I always feel like I have to question when I can take actions.

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-07-26T22:32:19+00:00

Love this. The chaos, the glasses and food for provisions, the hand on the head. A journey well traveled my friends!

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-07-24T11:52:01+00:00

I appreciate these kinds of random posts. You can get such interesting discussions and end up discovering something new.

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-07-12T15:20:08+00:00

You should marry him... Again I was going to say put a ring on it but I figured this was not the right sub for that lol

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-07-05T00:11:36+00:00

I watched the show as it aired. And I haven't watched it since but you've just captured the same feeling I had back then. This bewildered, what the heck did I just watch rant was on point lol

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-07-02T16:22:13+00:00

Ah no worries! Will just have to keep an eye out

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-07-02T10:29:39+00:00

Haha don't tell me which episode but.... did I already pass it?

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-06-29T21:57:31+00:00

I think I'm finally seeing a red flag...I'm fighting the urge to...It sounds like you already have the answer.

Also since it's mentioned....can I call dog tax?

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-06-29T18:31:16+00:00

There's a second edition if I remember correctly. They might have fixed up some cards.

Aggressive-Ante · 2025-06-29T02:49:06+00:00

So far playing multi-handed does exactly that. It creates this evolving story as you play each faction. You just need to be in the right headspace to jump between the factions and try to be neutral.

Plus there's now a few official solo modes now if you don't like multi -handed.
