War of the Ring: Grudge Match

THE SHORT VERSION

Jeremy Vetock uses a teaching game to explore how Middle-earth’s long-standing feuds can inspire armies and linked battles. He proposes Lothlórien against Dol Guldur, Rohan against Isengard and Dwarves against treasure-hungry Dragons, then extends the idea to alternative histories and fractious alliances between Evil forces. These suggestions encourage campaigns around recognisable rivalries while leaving room for departures such as a surviving Balrog invading Lothlórien or Mordor turning upon its own servants.
