Good stuff! As I mentioned earlier in the thread, this was added to my podcast rotation, but I've been that far behind... I'm currently up to Episode 4, and it's reinvigorated my interest in the game. Cheers.

Glad to hear you stuck with us (as with every podcast ever it does take a few episodes to get into its stride) and really happy to hear that you're getting back into this wonderful game!

Thanks a lot for listening, hope you enjoy catching up with our ramblings.

Thanks for doing this. As a semi-new (one year) player who is trying to progress through the game in release order, I very much appreciate your podding to the same experience.

I might not have understood you correctly, or I am playing it wrong, but to my understanding there is an action window between staging and placing progress, the action window used for Faramir’s or Eowyn’s action or Cunning of Radagast etc.

You are absolutely correct. In fact we recorded a new episode yesterday and I raised this very point.

As you will hear (once I get it edited!) the way Em played he did still technically lose the quest as he placed the progress tokens before claiming the objectives. Basically he forgot to use that action window you mention and during the recording we didn't spot the fact that he could have easily still won. I only picked up on it during the edit.

So in short; know that you are not playing it wrong and we highlight this in the next episode.

Thanks a lot for listening and I really hope you continue to enjoy the game and the cast.

Amazon will one day be home to a new Middle-earth television series.

But that day is not today!

However... Today, Late of the Rings is available on their new podcast service (via Amazon Music) if that is your provider of choice.

Saddle up for a trip to Rohan as we delve into the Spirit sphere Player Cards from the first cycle. We hope you enjoy!

Just a quick update in case folks are waiting on the new episode...

Treachery and mounting threat has slowed our heroes progress during these trying times, but with increased power of will we can be sure to soon press onwards with our quest!

(In other words, we've been delayed in recording this month but hope to be back again very shortly!)
