We continue with our discussions of FotR with The Shadow of the Past.
An exciting chapter to be sure! Here we learn of the evil nature of the Ring and the epic power struggle taking place in Middle-earth. Come discuss the details, themes, movie applications, and other ideas on Saturday, March 3, and Sunday, March 4.
Our last Fellowship chat was a massive hit, and the next one promises to be as exciting. Come see what all the hobbits are talking about at one of our three chats this weekend in The Hall of Fire!

JJ mailed to tell us: “They’ve got some pics at the official site of Frodo and Sam together, and Merry and Pippin, plus some cool pics of Hobbiton – all in the “Explore the Epic” area.”
Yep, they’re feeding the hungry fans over at LordOfTheRings.net : )
