Attending Gen Con or in the Indianapolis area August 3rd? Let’s Meet Up!

Planning on going to Gen Con in a few weeks? Cordovan posted over on the forums about an event on Friday of Gen Con.

 

 

If you are attending Gen Con in Indianapolis this year (August 2 – 5), or live in or close enough to the Indianapolis area to want to attend, we’re hosting an official player meetup on Friday, August 3rd from 7:00pm-10:00pm Eastern at Social on McCrea! Besides hanging out with fellow Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online players, you’ll have an opportunity to chat with us, pick up swag, win prizes, and have serious fun!

Details:

Where: Social on McCrea
When: Friday, August 3rd 7:00pm-10:00pm Eastern (-4 GMT)
What: A meetup of LOTRO and DDO players, along with some SSG employees, and perhaps even a few special guests. Swag, fun, giveaways, and more! We might even have a few secrets to spill. There is a cash bar available. Must be over the age of 21 to enter the establishment.

For those who were at Gen Con last year, this is the same place we crashed last year, but this time it’s official! We’ve rented Social out for the three hours for a private event. There’s a good chance some of us will continue to hang out after 10:00pm, but that’ll be informal and dependent on schedules.

 

If you are planning on going to the meetup, or Gen Con, I’ll be at both! If you want to know more about Gen Con and all things related, I’m covering that for our sister site DDO Players 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

The Wizard’s Quest Special Event At Gen Con The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

 

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game has taken you all over Middle-earth, from the ruins of Númenor to the slopes of Mount Doom. This year, at Gen Con 2018, you’ll have the opportunity to create your own adventure through some of the most iconic locales this world has to offer with The Wizard’s Quest special event!

 

 

During The Wizard’s Quest, you’ll build a custom scenario of your own creation that takes you on an adventure through Mirkwood. Along the way, you’ll encounter many familiar cards—but although the cards might look the same as what you’ve seen before, you’ll soon learn that their abilities are new and unexpected.

You can register for The Wizard’s Quest at Gen Con 2018  by clicking here. but you need to hurry as 2 of the 3 sessions are already sold out and seats are limited.

 

 

Have you ever thought about creating your own custom scenario for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game? If you have, then you’re in luck because this year’s Gen Con special event, The Wizard’s Quest, is a build-your-own-adventure kit for fans of the game! It comes with everything you need to create your own quest deck and encounter deck.

Each copy of The Wizard’s Quest comes with seven quest cards: one Stage 1, three different Stage 2 options, and three different stage 3 cards. Each player builds their own quest deck by choosing one Stage 2 and one Stage 3 to go with Stage 1. The quest stages that a player chooses will shape the narrative of their entire adventure and help them choose which encounter cards to include in their encounter deck.

 

Adventure awaits in the depths of Mirkwood. Forge your own path through this ancient forest and add your own chapter to the saga of Middle-earth! (And if you can’t attend Gen Con, you’ll be able to get The Wizard’s Quest, along with the Fellowship 2018 scenario, when it’s released as a product at a later date.)
