My Diary. My Unexpected Journey. There and Back Again. And What Happened After.
    –Bilbo Baggins

In a big, red leather book with plain covers, Bilbo Baggins kept meticulous records of all his journeys and adventures. There, too, Frodo Baggins recorded the events that were later retold in The Lord of the Rings . From these records, the great historian and linguist J.R.R. Tolkien was able to reconstruct the Hobbits’ adventures and retell them in English. Since that time, the tales of these brave Hobbits and their companions have become legendary, inspiring millions of people and zealous communities of fans from around the globe.

Imagine, then, what would have been lost had these brave Hobbits not set their adventures down to parchment and shared them with the world…

A new scoring system

In case you wondered what happened to your old scores, it’s worth noting that the Quest Log has been updated so that it now defaults to show only scores logged after November 1st, 2011, the first day of the new scoring system announced in the latest FAQ for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game . As noted by the game’s designers, the new scoring system encourages players to move forward in their scenarios, better reflecting the urgency with which Middle-earth’s heroes undertake their quests. This new scoring system also moves us toward the launch of the game’s organized play program, which is currently being tested by R&D, and players eagerly anticipating organized play for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game should appreciate the ability to enter their scores online and compare them to others, both previous results and other players’ results.

Meanwhile, none of your old scores have been lost. To view scores entered before November 1st, 2011, you can scroll to the bottom of the Quest Log and click a link that will change the date range for the scores you wish to view.
