Welcome to the Downs Laleena.
I hope your will find a nice resting place among us wights. . . The Barrow-Downs Forum has a bit of everything, although the activity is a bit low at the moment. There is the Book section for the seriouse and in dept discutions, right now a chapter by chapter Silmarillion discution is going on. If you have some minor questions about the books I would recomend the Novices and Newcomers area. If you are looking for fun and sillyness we have Mirth wich has all kinds of stuff going on, amongst other things there are the famouse werewolf games. In fact there is a game starting soon that still need a few players. There is also a Quiz Room that could need an extra dead soul and of course the RPG section. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask in a thread or by PM's, the dead in these Barrows are suprisingly friendly.

Thanks for the replies and advice everybody. I must say I was quite shocked by that. Each to their own I guess. I believe Tolkien was a scholar and a gentleman, who spent many long hours in his study drinking with friends and having interesting discussions. I'm sure that had he been alive today we would see him here on the Internet doing the same thing. What a shame that some hooligans don't take a lesson from him
In relation to collecting miniatures, I went to the Armageddon Pulp Culture Expo today here in New Zealand. It is a Sci-Fi & Fantasy convention. I bought a bust ornament of Lord Elrond. It was made by Weta Workshops, so the detail is absolutely amazing. They were the ones who did a lot of the animatronics on the PJ movies. I also bought 4 books to add to my collection about Middle Earth, including a very interesting book called "The Science of Middle Earth", by Henry Gee. |
