The lord of the Rings Card Game is coming out on steam here soon. Making a MW digital game with the same amount of polish as this game and hearthstone could bring in a lot of people.

I think the big this would consistentsy with FFG. One thing I really like about the company is the hype that ty can make for their products, how they do the previews, interviews with the designers/playtesters and articles discussing the meta. All of these show that the company has interest in their own product. As for the quality I have always thought there products were very nice and high quality, you can tell a lot of work went into it. I think FFG has learned not to throw expansions at a game in a short amount of time. X-wing was damaged beyond repair because they came out with expansions to fast, they ended up breaking the game and are now making a 2.0. I really like the idea of how they do Arkham horror the card game. They have a big box release and then every month have a small pack of cards come out. Big box is about $30 and small ones are $15. I usually find them cheaper through amazon, but that’s MSRP. Imagine if AW did something like that but the big box didn’t have to be mages. Each cycle could be themed and then smaller packs deepen that theme you introduced with the big box. Maybe introduce a mage every other cycle. So now you would get nice steady amount of new content it won’t be as much at one time, but it’s constant.

One con would be that the consumer would pay more over the long term. This does turn into a pro as well since AW would possibly make more that the game would be supported more. Anyways this is how I would expect FFG to handle MW, based off their other games. I would expect expansions to be slower then games like x-wing just because there isn’t as big of a player base.

But just like we have seen in some acedemy cards where it says if this is lvl 6 mage you roll this many dice. You could  always put something along those lines so then it can work in arena. And since the acedemy expansions are seen by AW as expansions for arena this would be a better way to integrate acedemy into arena.

I’ve been reading a couple of forms and have seen some people mention a new edition. I think this would be a really cool idea to revitalize the game. So I made this post to see what people would like to see in 2.0 or how they think it could be done. Now I know that AW doesn’t have a ton of money and the possibility of this is probably a dream. I understand that, all I want to hear is ideas on what people would like to see.

I for one would like to see a more streamlined game. I don’t have to much of a issue with the rules, but when the issues do come up they can sour the game. The biggest thing is upkeep. We housed ruled it and what we said is that you the effects are resolved in the order they appeared. Example regrowth belt was placed on a mage then foul rot was revealed. The mage would regenerate first. This is how I play. Reason being it felt right thematically in our house.

Another this is that there is to much cardboard for me now. After all the expansions I think it’s just to much. If there was an easier way to streamline it I would like that very much.

Either update or replace cards that are not competitive.

I don’t think we would need a new core box but just either new rules that get updated or a small conversion kit.

I love this game and I always come back to it. I just noticed some clunky ness after PvS.

I have to agree. I haven’t played the force master yet with her force creatures in a arena game but I plan to try this weekend. That’s the only deck that I have build to so far that I have placed more acedemy cards then arena.

It would be nice just to hear that something is in the works for arena. Every time this is brought up and we get a response from tony it’s about new stuff for acedemy. I understand that the spells are compatible in arena, but you don’t see conjurations with acedemy. It would be nice to just hear something about arena so it doesn’t seem like AW has forgotten about it.
