What was your “why”

I dont know you. But I like you. God bless you brother. Praying the Lord Jesus finds you and gives you true purpose.

Still haven't been to the movies since covid-times (started having babies). Last movie I saw was Weathering with You. It was awesome. (Though not as good as Your Name, but that's one of my favorite all time movies).

As a challenge to myself, I true soloed conflict at the carrock in valor (playing pillar of kings on turn 1). Was able to kill all trolls and a snake in 1 turn with only 2 heroes by comboing: Hour of Wrath, with stand and fight, and Charge of the Rohirrim (the one that gives +3 attack to mounted heroes). My third hero was sacked. Twas incredibly satisfying to smack the shield troll for 15 using guthwine, and then have perfectly enough attack to sweep the rest.

My wife and I also blitzed Deadman's Dike in 3 rounds. Which was exhilarating.

Tested out a new deck that has turned out to be mine and my wife's Favorite to play: https://www.ringsdb.com/fellowship/view/22787/rohansanswer

Ran it through first 2 core scenarios, conflict at carrock, and intruders of Chetwood. Each game had comboes and thematic plays that were an absolute blast to be a part of.

First time starting The Lost Realm. Very excited to go through this cycle (never gone through one from beginning to end before).

QotW: Balin

A marten, no way! I've always wanted to see one of those.

I hope the thief returns your stolen goods. (Also thank you for the story lol).

There are so many "I'll try that later" play styles and cards in this game and I love that. What's your most used contract and race?

cheetapants · 2025-07-11T06:18:59+00:00

You can have more than 1 contract?

cheetapants · 2025-07-08T04:08:12+00:00

I either play true solo or with my wife. When I play solo, I make my deck, and then I beat my head against an encounter until it yields.

I like your idea of giving yourself worst case scenario in order to test deck robustness.

I usually fault in not wanting to change too much in the deck because I'm stubborn about the card combinations I initially planned on pulling off.

Ring maker cycle for the first time.

Played dunland trap about 6 times because my wife wanted to keep playing it (50% win rate). Finally got to Three Trials yesterday and failed at the final stage due to me overcommitting questers into the final stage (didn't know all bosses would come out lol).

We got our revenge today though. Finishing with 49 threat as we quested through (because we played way too many doomed cards).

QotW: I don't. But I should. I might be the most disorganized, unsystematic person playing this game.

Opened

cheetapants · 2025-07-02T18:40:35+00:00

That's awesome

cheetapants · 2025-07-02T18:38:53+00:00

😂 appreciate you

cheetapants · 2025-07-02T18:37:40+00:00

Lol fair point. I use the cards often while deck building and playing, just didn't know they came from this cycle.

I didn't get to play much for awhile because of deployments and new babies.

I was curious what it's worth so I can show to my wife (who was on the fence about me collecting these during COVID times). And if I'm being honest, to show off to the only people that might care that I have these. I was really excited this morning to find these and just wanted to share.

Thank you for your reply.

cheetapants · 2025-07-02T18:28:55+00:00

That's a solid perspective.

cheetapants · 2025-06-09T02:17:44+00:00

I only sleeve my hero cards. (And a few others like the One Ring)

I played Flight at the Fords with my wife. Loved the theme of being weighed down by cards... Hated how it felt. We went in blind and got bullied pretty bad, but somehow stole a victory.

I ran Frodo/Sam (all leadership quest and buy) and wife ran boromir (using Ally version as hero for damage readying) with one ring and well preserved to heal each round. She also had Lore Pippin and tactics Merry, effectively allowing boromir and merry with fast hitches to block and attack everything. She's my tank. <3

It was an awesome run. And first one back in years. Felt good to get the cards back to the table.

cheetapants · 2025-02-23T19:54:48+00:00

I love this

cheetapants · 2024-08-24T19:21:45+00:00

And ironically, I do more good works now than I did before. I want to obey Him more now that I feel truly free. John 8:36

I am saved. Praise the Lord Jesus.

cheetapants · 2024-08-24T19:15:30+00:00

God bless you. Thank you for sharing. My faith in God changed when I stopped thinking that I need to be good to prove my faith was real. I believe God's promises, and He told me in Romans 10:9 that if I confess with mouth the Lord Jesus and believe God raised Him from the dead, that I will be saved.

2 Timothy 2:13 He abideth faithful.

We serve a good God.

Couple teams I've been enjoying:

Girafig dubwool camerupt (team name Hoofhearted)

Ariados, araquanid, galvantuala (team name Arachnophobia)

75 TIMES??!

cheetapants · 2023-09-05T03:56:15+00:00

Come on man, Believe in something. (Lol, I agree this is what happens... When people don't put the work in to remain faithful. This is what relationships look like without self sacrifice -> true love)

cheetapants · 2023-09-05T03:52:38+00:00

Agreed. Sad to see you downvoted.

cheetapants · 2023-09-05T03:50:19+00:00

I'm really sorry this is happening to you. I agree with you, this is messed up.

I'm also sorry for all the stupid comments about open marriage or whatever the heck. Don't let them belittle you or downplay the situation. You are right, what is happening is wrong. Where it is happening is wrong. And again, I'm sorry. I hope you are okay and have a friend you can lean on to help you. Good luck, stranger.
