Mines Of Moria Rulebook Pdf Creator
Has anyone played through all(or at least a couple) of the Balin's tomb scenarios GW has released. I know of at least three and am guessing there are more.I have played a scenario that was released in a White Dwarf magazine. It is a quite large square. In each side there is an entrance. Three for the evil player and one for the fellowship.
The objective is to entrance on the opposite side with the fellowship, without loosing Frodo or up to four(?) members of the fellowship.Then I've seen the scenario in the 4th ed rulebook and read a session report of the one in the Mines of Moria rules. They are quite similiar but has some differences to them.On top of that I guess there are other Balin's tomb scenarios in the 1st ed Fellowship boxset and Fellowship Journeybook.The first version i described, which is the only scenario I've played, the board is huge and you just don't get the Balin's tomb feeling from it. The other two seem a little boring in that the objective(troll)only comes out by luck. The evil player can happily hack the fellowship down with an everlasting stream of goblins before you get that tie when rolling for priority. It might work fine. Billy squier the tale of the tape raritan valley.
As I said, I havn't played it. But it seems odd handling the objective that way.Just so that I'll know if to get the Fellowship journeybook or original boxset rules or whatever. There is a mini-campaign consisting of 4 scenarios in the Mines of Moria box set. It uses the miniatures and props provided in the box. The final scenario is Balin's Tomb. It uses the Moria Goblins and the Cave Troll against the Fellowship.There are three entrances for the Goblins (2 trapdoors and the Tomb door).
This setup is always a bit one sided in favour of the evil forces and that is the idea. It is a desperate situation for the Fellowship and I feel the setup reflects that.It certainly doesn't mean you can't win if you plan carefully and the dice are on your side! I've made a custom variation based on the scenarios found in the Mines of Moria rules and the 4th ed rules.The whole fellowship is placed around the coffin.12 goblins(4 spear, 4 shield & 4 bow) and 1 goblin captain is placed in front of the door.There are four entrances. The main door, the well and the two trapdoors.At the beginning of each round the evil player rolls one d6 and puts as many goblins in front of either the door or adjacent to the well. If he/she gets a 1 he puts a captain on the board, re-rolls and places as many goblins on the board(even if he/she gets another 1).
Then the evil player rolls a d6 for each open trapdoor and places two more goblins on it in case of 4+. The trapdoor can be closed or opened by standing on it at the end of the turn.The cave troll enters the game automatically on the third round and after it is killed the fellowship is able to escape through the door, which now no goblins will use. I've made it so that the death of the troll drains the goblins courage and the ones outside the door who witness it all will escape. Leaving the entrance wide open for the heroes. All other entrances, the two trapdoors and the well, are still in use though.
The shock of the dead troll will however force them to make a courage test for every remaining turn. As it is not possible to escape over the edge in a tomb(walls) the goblins will run straight for the nearest exit(well, door or the two trap doors).Heros will win if the whole fellowship exits through the door.There will be a tie if the evil player manages to kill 1-2 heroes before they escape.The evil player wins if either Frodo dies or 3+ of the fellowship. I've played the Moria boxset Balin's Tomb as well as the one from the Journeybook.I like both very much, though the one in the Journeybook is closer to the film. The Troll enters on turn 4 and is not random like it is in the boxset. Also, killing the Troll is not a winning condition.

The Fellowship must last 10 turns without losing Frodo (or 5 other members of the Fellowship)The Journeybook version also adds height around the outside of the Tomb. This allows the Climbing rules to come into play.There is definitely a sense of urgency in either version and the Fellowship is pretty strong. It is great using the full rules (Might, Will, Fate, Heroic Actions, Gandalf's full set of spells) as well as the fact that Frodo can put on the Ring and risk giving up his movement for the Evil player to control.it is important to note the the GW website has errata sheets for the Journeybooks. The Balin's Tomb scenario has the starting position of the Fellowship changed from 6' (from centre) to 3'.This helps prevent the Fellowship from rushing the door and preventing any Orcs from entering.When I play, I let the Evil player go first anyways.Les.
