This will probably be the last post until the new year (but you never know..). Just want to wish all of you a very safe and happy new year. I’ve always wanted to live in the year 2000…here it comes 🙂

LOTR bit reads: ‘Tolkiens Fantasy Novel will be a film event a la Star Wars’

Berendir from Gaming Havens sends me this rather cool news item regarding your mic and the MUD Online Roleplaying Games. [More]

Check out the fan art gallery for 20 new pieces of fan art! Included in this update are some VERY talented new artists and 5 more works from Tookish’s 4th Graders! (with about 25 more to come in the next few weeks) [gallery]

A tidbit of news in Spy Reports that confirms that things are getting underway on the Hobbiton set near Matamata.

A friend of mine was chatting to somebody that’s working as a hobbit extra. They said that the days were very long. There is a 4am start, and about two and a half hours are spent putting make-up and prosthetics on. The working day finishes around 6:30pm For this the extras get $100 a day, but on the other hand, the catering is in true hobbit fashion – plentiful and superb!
