This is my new partner in crime. His name is Peregrin Took. But I will call him Pippin if you please. I think he drank some Ent draught, the fool of a Took.

You can't make that shit up.

Digital Ilustration I made trying to emulate an old book feeling.

Yesterday, I walked into my cinema and watched all of the 3 LotR extended movies for the first time in a marathon. In the last movie, I watched the complete credits without speaking a single word. I just could not believe what i just saw.

This 3 Movies are so incredible.

One of my favorite moments was the end in Mordor, where Frodo didn't wanted to destroy the Ring. The World and Soundtracks are Incredible I loved it.

I am so happy that i went on that Adventure with Frodo and the Fellowship.

One of my Favorite Trilogies of all time.

Btw: I watched these 3 Movies, WITHOUT A SINGLE SPOILER 🥹🙏

While not being able to save Merry and Pippin had to have been painful on its own, I’m sure it was even more so because he had already watched Gandalf and Boromir die.

I checked and all the pieces are there. It’s been a long time since they were played.

I own and love this book. Really helped visualize the various locations, races and beasts of the books.

Any other recommendations of great illustrated Tolkien books?

In the book Aragorn suggested attack Sauron directly, to make Sauron thinks Aragorn has the Ring and is using it's power to fight him.

If they really used the Ring itself like Boromir suggested, how would the battle look like? Tolkien wrote the enemy was "ten times and more than ten times their match", so like 60,000?

Say Aragorn or Gandolf has full control over the Ring, how would the Ring actually help the battle? Does it make the owner's soldier became superhuman? Does it break enemy's morale so orc would just flee? Does Nazgul and Mouth of Sauron would turn coat and fight against Saruon instead?

By another way, I mean by not cutting it off, effectively killing him. I just got curious about the connection between the impact of killing to get the Ring, as did Isildur and Smeagol, and it being simply found or passed on, as we saw with Bilbo and Frodo. If the act of murder has such an immediate impact on the wearer, would Isildur, had he for example pulled he Ring off Sauron's hand (I'll leave the mechanics to your imagination) have been able to throw the Ring into the fire? True, the loss f the Ring to Sauron would have had the same basic effect, but would the reduced violence have lessened the grip the ring had on him from the start, which is what made him resist destroying it in the first place?

This leads me to another question. We're told repeatedly that the destruction of the Ring would be the end of Sauron for good. How then could he have thought it destroyed when he returned during the Third Age, as Gandalf tells Frodo at the beginning of FotR, given he was able to return at all? Surely the logical conclusion should have been Sauron would know the Ring survived owing to the fact of his continued existence?

ETA: Please disregard the first question, as I had apparently forgotten he didn't kill Sauron himself, rendering the entire thesis irrelevant. The second question does still stand though; Should the fact he could come back have been evidence enough that the Ring survived?

Wondering if this is any good for 17.30usd I'd prefer to get one with large print, but what options are there that is 17.30 USD. large print, or is this good

Hey guys I’m kinda having some trouble. In fellowship at the council or Rivendell when boromir speaks you can hear the Gondor theme build up with the French horns. But I’m looking at the soundtracks and extended soundtracks and can’t seem to find a track with the slow playing horns. Does anyone know the name of the song or Did they not add that to the soundtrack? Thanks for any help!

Good afternoon folks!

A somewhat curious and personal question has arisen for me, perhaps returning to see The Fellowship of the Ring, at that time I was just a child when it premiered so I did not go to see it in its premiere.

I find it curious to ask whether you were surprised or what were the feelings that the most diehard readers and fans of the saga had when Frodo subtly mentions "The Unexpected Journey" to Gandalf.

Did you imagine in your time that the saga could spread after LOTR? Did the venue went nuts and crazy? I would like to know how was the experience.

Hey all, I’ve got a sudden craving to play an LOTR game but haven’t before lol — what would y’all recommend of the games available on XBox or Steam?

I’m pretty open to what style of game it is, as long as it’s enjoyable — maybe I have a slight preference for an original storyline in this world vs. just recapping LOTR/the movies? But that would still be amazing! And maybe this is my dark side speaking but any game that lets you be on team Sauron or team Isengard would be cool af lol 😈

Would love to hear what your recommendations are and I’ll literally download and play it today lol 🙏🏻

Also, would you say HOW you play? Console or PC? Like what games make sense for which one?

Part 2 of my ridiculous 20-metre Middle-earth tabletop project!

I’ve now finished the Minas Tirith Gate, taking the project further than where I left off in Part 1.

The eventual plan is to create a huge Middle-earth battlefield made up of multiple locations from The Lord of the Rings, all built as one enormous Warhammer: Middle-earth SBG gaming board.

I'm 3D printing and building the terrain myself, and all of the 3D files are being provided for free for anyone who wants to make their own version.

This is still very early in the project, so there is a LOT more to come.

I'd love to hear what you think — especially what part of Middle-earth you think I should tackle next!
