I'm having a random evening doing the #LOTRO Forester Event, while also doing some drawing in between rounds. I'm probably running out of foresters too at this point.

And I'm not the make-loads-of-lowbie-characters-to-grind-it kinda player.

The rewards for not winning the race are worth it and there's no pressure then. You just exchange for Winner's Ribbons instead.

'As we walk into the map library, we are surrounded by Middle-earth. Mordor, the Shire and all points in between are represented. And not just Middle-earth. Fonstad created works for other fantasy worlds — some never published.

'How do you scan a collection of maps of varying sizes, some of them in delicate condition?

'You need a big scanner, caution and some patience.'

From earlier, Glinmaethor given a "fetch my stuff for cheap pay" task by a Gondorian businesswoman.

Glin was called a "dolt" by her. She prefers that to "war hero" and other lofty titles. Simple jobs are important.

After all, if someone can't do a simple job properly, don't give them responsibility over something much harder. A lesson our world would benefit from remembering, to be honest.

Glinmaethor replying: I'm not offended, it's nice to be called 'Some Dolt' for a change".

[caption id="attachment_17086" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Gildor Inglorion is a mysterious character in ‘The Lord of the Rings’, but we have as many questions about how he and his people traveled across Middle-earth as about him. Here is what we know.[/caption]

I had had to go so long not playing my main #LOTRO character that yesterday I totally ignored the festival and continued on with questing.

Admittedly, I used both the new cosmetic pet and mount /from/ Spring Festival but I was so glad to finally get to continue the [Epic] (the LOTRO equivalent of 'MSQ' in FF14).

I haven't made it to Umbar yet, but steadily going through King's Gondor. Which is AOK.

My main female character in Gondor in The Lord of the Rings Online. It's a clear blue sky with a white snowy mountain far in the distance. She is stood on the slope of a grassy hillside. Nearby are tall yellow and purple flowers. Behind her is a hedgehog pulling a tiny cart with a small white hare riding on it.

"In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all."

All shot using real lighting, figures and miniature sets.

Sauron holds his hand in the air looking at his finger with the one ring on it which is glowing

Middle Earth Mural / Triptych, Barbara Remington

Similar source to the other one but in a different style. Seems cute and colorful but also a little weird, a little spooky. The tree on the left is twisted in a weird way, and moving to the right things get stranger and more monstrous. But she kept a storybook style, it seems like you wouldn't get nightmares if you saw it at age six.😆 I was a kid that read LOTR.

a wide image showing a green and thriving hilly country with little houses on the left, less friendly-looking rugged mountains with sharp peaks and flying mounted creatures in the air in the middle, and on the right, rocky rugged peaks with a great central volcano and a mass of dragon type creatures swirling around in the foreground. All of this is in a style close to what might illustrate a child's book.

#TTRPG idea I’ll probably never realize: A campaign set in #MiddleEarth, following the tracklist of #BlindGuardian’s 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth"

Having the PCs take part in those big events themselves wouldn’t really work. Instead, maybe the heroes, in the Third Age, collect Elven songs and stories that match the album’s songs—perhaps for Bilbo’s collection? Along the way, they experience events that reflect those themes or visit places tied to them.

At Westmoot in May I'm hoping to highlight echoes of Middle-earth right here in Middle America.

While preparing, I was reminded of the last time I tried to do something like this: my kooky "111th Birthdays Quiz" comparing/contrasting the Weatherbird and Bilbo for STLtoday.com.

stltoday.com/news/multimedia/w

The Post-Dispatch Weatherbird cartoon character is dressed up like a Hobbit with hairy feet and holding a pipe.
