Does this mean that the folks at The Onion play @returntomoria.com or that we need a tie in between McDonald's and the game? Maybe a free DLC? 😂

The Hobbit or LOTR but as famous movies: The Life of Bilbo 12 Vengeful Dwarves One Flew Over the Misty Mountains A River of Gold Runs Through It Three Hobbits and Merry One Wizard of Grey A Walk into Mordor Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain TookHeart Guardians of the Ring-bearer

I just found it odd that the Ring chose that moment in the Anduin River to slip off his finger. Either it wasn't aware of its surroundings and just sensed the orcs or it realized it couldn't fully master the will of Isildur. 🤔

Watching the PJ Fellowship of the Rings extended edition and thought it odd that The One Ring slipped off Isildur's finger during his swim across the Anduin. Until it hit me that the movie calls it an Heirloom while in the books he calls it a weregild. BIG difference. 1/

I am planning on joining Zollin Ironshield aka Voice of the Rings in about an hour as he explores Moria www.youtube.com/live/ExFNvk0...

In case you were wondering - the new War of the Rohirrim song indeed has an Old English line! (Tolkien’s Rohanese is HEAVILY inspired by OE.) Fun fact, Éowyn’s funeral song in The Two Towers film is also OE.

One month until The War of the Rohirrim! ⚔️

More than Die Hard. Fun fact: another Lord of the Rings movie is debuting this December. War of the Rohirrim

Friday I played with Voice of the Rings (Zollin Ironshield) on his stream: www.youtube.com/live/nr96O_0...

Sorry for the lack of posts and videos. Been dealing with work, life, and mental health stuff that didn't leave much time/energy for regular posts. I've grown and gotten through most of it so I hope to post soon. I was able to host @nerdoftherings.bsky.social last week: youtube.com/live/Y2iwYSX...

Been a while since I've posted. Here's something I've been working on recently: Durin's Axe Master-Structure (I turned an item into a building 🥰) #LordOfTheRings #ReturnToMoria #Gaming

I think I might call this the Khazad Stone PC when I'm done. It won't be as beautiful as the Arkenstone would be but no less colorful.

i scream, you scream, we all scream because everything is so bad

Episode 11 now up. It's part 2 of me building the Hollin Gate Inn. youtu.be/NQI7xtGlTXs?...

When kids are taught about their ADHD, dyslexia, autism or other learning conditions, they feel empowered and are able to self-advocate, leading to better school performance and mental health. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/neur...

Episode 10 is out of my #ReturnToMoria main video series. It turned into a 3-part build of a large Inn! youtu.be/RoiFZcLMWJQ
