Good Morning All! I hope you are all doing well and have had a chance to play a game or two coming off of the Holidays. As some of you may or may not have noticed the Hero of the Month for January is Beorn! So far there’s only been two articles posted, one going a little in depth into Beorn and his pros and cons, and another covering a deck list I came up with a few days ago. This article however, is a bit special, as we get to get some insight into everyone’s favorite skin-changer from the big bear himself. Beorn, over at the appropriately named Hall of Beorn, was very generous and took some time out of his day taking care of animals and tending to his garden to answer a few questions. Enjoy!

The Grey Company - The Battle of Five Armies

After four rounds of epic struggle, The Grey Company succumbed to an onslaught of Goblins and Wargs at our Twitch streaming of The Battle of Five Armies. Thanks to everyone who took part in this event and the video of this session should be online soon. I remain cautiously optimistic that our favorite Bear will have a marquee role in the upcoming movie, but I remain skeptical.
