With the Necronomicon event not being held this year, the Sponsors hosted a LOTR only event called Shadow in the East. The event was held at a Disney World golf club, and the event was run absolutely first-rate, with the board layouts very impressive. So why didn't I have a good time?
I finished with a major win, a minor win, and three frustrating draws, in each of which a deserved victory was just beyond my grasp, due to nothing other than crappy dice for me or insane dice for my opponents (or both). I have never played this well in a tournament with nothing to show for it. Oh well I guess that's not exactly true, as I was awarded Second General, but my finish (6th out of 26) was not what I needed to qualify for the GW event next summer. Painting score was a part of it - the judging here seemed idiosyncratic compared to other events I've been in. But none of that would have mattered if my stupid Shadow Lord had passed a single fate roll in either of the last two games.
My battle reports will be posted eventually.
