Early efforts at tuning have been...

Spoiler Warning for all Bingo Boffiners who have not yet completed this week’s episodic quest! This was more my kinds quest than Lizzy’s… I had to resport to a little cheating as her Operetta entitled “Bored, bored, bored” in my ear was becoming a little straining. I was more than happy to wander the four corners of Mirkwood...

An eerie feeling After their luxurious stay in Bree the party arrived to a lesser known inn. A small run-down establishments that clearly had seen better days. The decor is ghastly and the butter on the spread so thin on their lunch it could be mistaken for a ghost. One of those places you’d wonder how the owner stayed afloat for all these years. Surely...

Part 81 – Shrouded Memory Night came and passed over the town of Trestlebridge. No strange happenings occurred in the town, save the occational sound of a crow passing over throughout the night.

This week we have a quick show with a lot of news beyond LOTRO.

Another frolic from Lizzy and I… Well me… We recorded this rather late and Lizzy decided to get a well earned sleep. We were chatting about our 40th Episode milestone and realised that we began making these recordings when Lizzy was 5! You can find our early episodes on my YouTube channel. Also as promised the link for the Cookie Monster’s...

Two famous Middle-earth adventurers have announced a new venture aimed at ridding the world of evil. Teriadwyn and Maven, in their various guises, have founded Grrlz of Middle-earth, a consortium of female LOTRO players who have banded together to take on everything from pie delivery to roving threats—perhaps even the Rift. LOTRO Players News was able to obtain...

Part 80 – A Town of Ruin The Warriors of Eriador gathered in the main room of Nellie Boskin’s house. It was a meek house, absence of anything that would distinguish it from any other. Wooden floors and a small rug occupied the floor and a dining table sat next to a pantry of sorts. Her bedroom was to the left; small with a small bed inside. Perhaps to the rest...

Introduction Having played the Bingo Boffin quests on Turbine’s Lord of the Rings Online game, I wanted to look at and to see how the character, Bingo Boffin, created by MadeOfLions, fits into the published book, which for this article is the 50th Anniversary edition of The Lord of the Rings. ‘Bingo Boffin’ does not appear at all in the published version. The...

The Dimrill Dale opened up as the four warriors descended the twisting path down the mountains, moving quickly yet cautiously. The battle in the Second Hall of Moria, combined with the flight from the Orcs and Goblins had pushed them beyond fatigue. They were driven by the need to gain safety. Ahead, in the distance, the Golden Wood itself opened up like a vast...
