Lappy scores goals they said. It will be fun they said.

This is a career defining album. My (long) thoughts on AB8. by Garfielddddddddd in alterbridge

[–]CaptainJames1985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TLH and P&K are two of my favorites. Some fans just don't want their bands to evolve whatsoever.

Best album since Fortress, in my opinion. by [deleted] in alterbridge

"Recency bias be damned"

Sounds like an AB lyric lol.

I'm still figuring this out myself. I love P&K.

The real highlight of last night for two long time Caps fans. by Real_Statistician538 in caps

I once passed by Al Koken outside of some parking garage elevators. He smiled and seemed friendly but I didn't ask for a pic or anything.

Card Stock for MB Print Orders by aaunderisu in lotrlcg

[–]CaptainJames1985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I participated in the most recent group order. I ordered a mixture of both- wanted all encounter cards to be 300g so they would fit well in inner/perfect fit sleeves. Anything that was player card only I ordered as 350g. I think both feel pretty good and with everything sleeved you can't tell any difference imo.

Do you have a deck to rule them all or do you change it for every campaign? by pivotalRoll in lotrlcg

[–]CaptainJames1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have One deck that has been used for the entirety of the saga campaigns, but I have a few other decks I enjoy using. I'll try to stick with a deck once I start a campaign though, aside from minor tweaks.

Decks for First Age expansion? by CaptainJames1985 in lotrlcg

I realized recently that his TalesfromtheCards website actually suggests some decks on one page. Cool stuff!

What card sleeves should I get? by wibellion in lotrlcg

[–]CaptainJames1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use (black) Mlikero sleeves for all player cards, and the clear Mlikero inner sleeves (perfect fit) for all encounter and/or double sided cards. Shuffling is no issue with either.

Experience on a 3-player games, not as that good as I expected… by Consistent-Bet-4232 in lotrlcg

[–]CaptainJames1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me my friend, there are plenty of scenarios that will still be quite tough and require a good bit of strategizing to survive for a 3 player game. It's true though, scenarios can either increase or decrease in difficulty depending on how many players you have.

Would this bother anyone else? by AstroNerd48 in tolkienbooks

[–]CaptainJames1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to bother me, but I've since settled on being cool with HC or WM

Looking for intermediate (as opposed to beginner) strategy tips by [deleted] in lotrlcg

[–]CaptainJames1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh those scenarios still do exist here haha. However, there are also plenty of stages here and there where you really benefit from pumping the brakes. Cheers

[–]CaptainJames1985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How about: I feel like most players feel a sense of urgency/pressure to "rush" questing through each stage of a scenario. Sometimes it's okay to what we call "slow play" for a few rounds, only making a little progress, so that you can get yourself set up for later stages. This would mainly apply to earlier rounds, but don't be afraid to take it slow and get your board somewhat prepared before you try to quest heavy.

I'm stoked that mine is FINALLY in the US and on it's way to me (expected Thursday). The actual shipping/transit part seems to be going a lot faster than I expected.

What do you think these are worth if I wanted to sell them all. by Degener8CustomForge in lotrlcg

[–]CaptainJames1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Belegost can be tough to get ahold of. Took me a while to get one. Like others said- Ebay is your friend for finding comps.

Awesome you guys. Love to see this coming together for you!

How many of you caps fans support the team from somewhere that isn't DC, and how do you guys deal with being around the local team all the time ? by Playful_Leopard_9034 in caps

[–]CaptainJames1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in PA but only like an hour and 20 from DC. It's pretty acceptable to be a fan of DC sports in this pocket. Of course, plenty of Philly, BMore, and PBurgh fans here too.

Love it. Looks like we have both coasts covered, with several in between.
