I hope to do a few interviews with other contributors as well.  This is the first in that series, an interview with Keli who kindly gave this year’s Fellowship Walk two...

Hey there fellow Middle Earth Wanderers As you are all aware, or hopefully aware, LOTRO Players is organising this year’s Fellowship Walk which is raising money for the international children’s charity, Child’s Play.  As part of this year’s Walk, we have put our heads together and come up with some fun competitions for you to enter and...

In approximately 14 days, we will begin our journey through Eriador.  It will see us leave Bag End in the Shire and set out West.  Our first tentative steps will be nerve wracking, but as our confidence builds (and our total funds for Child’s Play grow), we will eventually find ourselves in Rivendell. The journey will be long.  The journey will be...

I know what you’re all thinking.  The title should be Death by Misadventure but, well, after skirmishing with Spridra, Pineleaf and Andang, I thought he deserved a post of his own. As I get ready for this year’s Fellowship Walk, I find myself often on the Landroval server, levelling characters, farming dye mats, cooking pie crusts etc and I was...

Bob who, after being attacked, always wanted to make it home before dark, tends to wander off whilst daydreaming it would appear.  The picture...
