Well, I picked up my "The Long Dark" adventure pack today! Some great stuff in this one!

By DurinIII, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Yes. Wow, I do wonder whether they've been scratching their head over him already. He must be a nightmare to design, it has got to be special otherwise people like me will start going crazy (like with the original Glorfindel). But it is easy to make a special thing get too powerful. Poor designers, at least they're draining our wallets dry enough.

with characters as special as bombadil i think the designers should take a note from tolkien- less is more…..ie he has to be an event or ally and his abilities have to be limited so that he fits with the narrative

I think Bombadil will probably be an objective like Grimbeorn the Old. That would make the most sense because I don't think Tom Bombadil ever really travelled away from his forest, did he?

Agreed. This makes sense to me.

Yes, you are so right, that would make sense indeed… and I would be at peace with it although the childish part of me still wants him as an ally in my deck.

I remember he was a card in the tcg game, I haven't played it much but I remember buying multiple packs of it just to get him; and never have obviously.

im just waiting for a comment from a certain player saying 'theme is already broken!….if we can take frodo and glorfindel and denethor on a quest bombadil can leave his forest' ……well no…not in this case i think
