Late of the Rings
A podcast is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when it means to. A new podcast for an old game: Lord of the Rings The Card Game (LCG). A lighthearted yet informative exploration of the game we adore. Featuring discussion on cards & quests, our various adventures in and out of Middle-earth, as well as offering advice for new players and veterans alike.
