I was planning on using the 'Visit the Treasury of Your Folk' undertaking (Rivendell, page 23).  Basically, returning the axe is seen as a pretty classy thing to do, so he gets a Standing increase.  Plus, the act identifies him in Woodmen legend as the bearer of the Warden's Axe, which helps unlock further qualities.

I updated the player's map of Wilderland under the Resources drop-down menu.

I added a few places you now know and all places circled in gray or red are places you have been to.

Just finished a week of Tolkien movies The Hobbit Trilogy through the Lord of the Rings and as soon as Annie Lennox starts to sing Into the West, I am ready to start the whole lot over again.

There are a lot of great books out there, but I am utterly immersed in Middle-earth and am always going back to it. I start with the Silmarillion and the momentum just picks up from there.

Lol. I was home sick yesterday and watched the Hobbit 2 and 3. I had only ever seen them once each in the movie theater. I liked the second one more then I remembered, and the third one stayed the same at pretty good. I focused on hoow things were depicted visually this time and not so much as a Tolkien purist.

Yea - stay clear of the purist idea for all of them and just enjoy the visualization. I cannot tell you how many time I grit my teeth at the depiction of Aragorn in the movies! I cannot stand how he denies his heritage!

Anyway, it is  what we have so I take it all with a bit of acceptance and enjoy them.  ;D

Work is getting a bit frantic at the moment.  So my participation may get a bit patchy until the end of the week.  Alternatively, I may find myself making time for the game the way alcoholics make time for booze.

I am glad to know that the game is addictive enough to keep you coming back no matter what. ;D

Went with Bree huh? I guess that makes sense so that the grand campaign would be in Gondor for the War of the Ring years.

Waiting on Oaths of the Riddermark. I wish they would be better about saying what was coming out and when. It's selfish and they have been cranking them out I guess in terms of overall product.

Especially since they have to get every word approved by some of the most nitpicky IP lawyers in existence.  One of the C7 lads (I forget which) told a story about how large chunks of a manuscript failed to get approved because the name of a character showed up in World of Warcraft.  C7 had to dig out the text of a 7th Century charter to prove that the name was public domain.

I was just being bitchy as their products are usually good. The only downer really was the ADV Comp. That project doesnt have the weight have having taken as long as it did to come out behind.

My new passion is gonna be the Moria reclaimed campaign they are working on but I wont imagine we will see that for four years.

Doug liked my part early this morning (aussie time), so he's at least alive and south occasional access to a computer.  I find this reassuring.

Hi guys!

I am alive and I am getting back to myself. Sorry for the delays!

I have had a lot of downtime laying in a bed, but the pain meds and muscle relaxers have left me hindered to putting good thoughts together for our story - and truthfully the desire to do it at all.

I will get the story moving today. My wife wants me to run some errands with her so I am up and moving, but then I will get a new post up.

Thanks for your patience.
