All a little different this week. More background that adds a little thought to this weeks comic. The afterlife of an NPC Most of the time during  your travels you know where you are and where you will end up. How different people remember the travels in between. At the time of this episode the party was leaving Bree and heading into the Lone lands. Nearly...

As sapience tried to get some peace and quiet after he finally gave up on keeping the cats away. He was rudely awoken again. In the end he caved in and spent some of his hard-earned coins on what was supposed be a “premiere room for a lively hobbit as himself”. Never trust a ward in his own house trying to sell you his produce. As the night drew...

Raven, you’re our only hope. After hearing the news of angmars reinforcements Squirle send the raven to look for their previous forces. Would he be able to find them in time? Grim maw Both of our hero’s turned around and scurried back to Dora’s farm after being told by the leader of angmars reinforcements. Grim maw was a larger danger then...

Dark omens While sorting through the first few pages  the newly discovered stash of treasures in the Minas Tirith library. A previous unknown epilogue from the wolf attack on Sandsons farm was uncovered. It was always assumed all the wolves were defeated. It seems that thought was wrong. There are even more ominous signs that angmars influence was corrupting...

Plenty of battles and skirmishes went unnoticed. Not all tales were so influential that they made it into the Red book. Dwarves, elves, humans and hobbits all had their part in the Great war. But the critters of Middle Earth went by unseen and unheard. So far. In the depths of the library of Minas Tirith a secret room has been uncovered. Illustrations and notes...

Sometimes Creature spotting can be a dangerous hobby. This Oliphant up in the snowy wastes of Forochel wasn’t too happy to have his screen shot taken. It’s lucky I can run really fast in my boots! (Just don’t tell anyone in The Shire I have boots).  

Welcome back to LotRO and Lore, an article series where we take a look at a few of the stellar ways that Turbine ties Tolkien’s wonderful writings into the realm of the MMORPG. Today’s topic is one I have often wondered over the years: Where exactly did the Kergrim come from?     Kergrim are a race of greenish-purple wart-covered...

While I was out collecting taxes of astray Goblins beyond the walls of the White City, I met this particular character. If you could list three things that could make me totally forget my task or goal, seeing one of these would be at the forefront of that trio. I will never kill or help kill one of these animals, they are far too amazing 🙂 I may shoot the guy...

        This has got to be the best, scariest, most amazing creature in the world! I managed to dodge enough arrows but this last Oliphant was less friendly! Tried to stomp me! Can you believe it? Sad to see these wonderful beast used for battle – I wonder where they come from and what their homes look like?   Lilikate is a happy...

  🙂 I think this aspect of the update will be welcomed by many. I think I want one of each so if you get them and don’t care too much for pets send them to me! But which one first? I have a nice sheep song that could use a pet prop.

Word of the latest addition players will be able to acquire in the next update has reached us from a confidential source at Turbine: cosmetic pet balrogs. Presently, we have a variety of tiny huorns, chickens, shrews, cave-claws and more, all available for the price of however long it...

I think now all is well and the mannequins have clothes, I had to save the modesty of the smallest. It was just too shameful to have her all exposed. This gave me a good laugh for longer than it should have.

Here is a video in celebration of Lilikate Buggins and LOTRO. Always there when needed! Can’t express enough thanks to the Composer and Arranger of this song. The same goes for the eight friends who performed this song with me on Hobbiton Bridge. May we always have good friends in...

I am very good at running fast and this saved me from sticky situations. Here is what I have discovered while exploring: –   – In the...

It has been very exciting! Although I have been very busy recently fighting the forces of evil I am not yet strong enough to wander these new places freely. I have...
