Week In Gaming

Crister

  • Umbarbaric Universal – slowly crawling through – I will succeed!
  • Some HD2, Some Starship EVO
  • ESO – Blackfeather guild costume event – I entered one as tim curry’s darkness in legend, the other was CROW-NAN the BARBARIAN!

Cyndars

  • Played LOTRO with Pineleaf and Crister. We have discovered Umbar Baharbal (for reals!)!
  • DnD 3.5 with new acquaintances. 6hr, one off game, I played a rogue with flamboyant attire. 
  • Sanswinda and I both got the Whimsical Patrons Coffer and Emerallina can now skip through Middle Earth. 
  • My kid has been listening to audiobook versions of Tolkein’s works, watching Nerd of the Rings and Signum University on YouTube, and just this week asked for a Kindle copy and audiobook of The Silmarillion. I’m so proud of my kiddo.  

Pineleaf

  • My warden continued with the story of the Kindred of the Coins
  • For the Field Trip
  • For Friday Night Fights, we ran Storm, Pelargir, Stand at Amon Sul
