Join the adventure at GW_MiddleEarth!

The Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring battle game has recently been released by Games Workshop and is selling fast! Many fans are already amazed at the magnificent miniatures, fantastic rules and wonderful gaming possibilities this game provides. It’s Tolkien’s world of Middle Earth come to life!

Like all war games LOTR has a diverse list of things that can be done, such as painting the minitures, modeling the scenery, playing the game, rules clarification and scenario creation. GW_MiddleEarth is a yahoo group specifically created with these things in mind, not to mention general chat on the new films, questions and discussion on Tolkien’s books, pictures of yet to be released models, rumors, breaking news and anything else you need to know! The groups functions on the yahoo groups network of internet email messaging lists. The list is quite large, over 100 members now, and we have been tracking the game and the films since early this year when the group was created. The group is an avid supporter of TORN and for this reason I have been allowed to invite everyone who is even remotely interested in Games Workshop’s new game to come and have a look. Even if you just want to know about the game, sign up and we will be more than happy to help out.

To check the list’s site out go to

Or if your already excited and ready to join you can directly subscribe by sending a blank message to

The list was created as a forum for fans of the game, the films and Tolkien. We are all massive fans and all share a deep interest in Tolkien’s books. We would love for everyone interested to join the group.

Hello, friends at Barli’s!!!

It is I, the intrepid sailor-type Bursar, making our world just that much safer from the terrorists that try to destroy our lives.

I am sittng in my workcenter on the USS George Washington, cursing the Internet block that prevents all us lower enlisted folk from the Net, and, unfortunately, Barli’s.

So, I have to talk to y’all through E-Mail. If anyone wants to yell at me, my E-Mail is Hillr@GeorgeWashington.navy.mil

That is, if anyone even REMEMBERS me…..I haven’t been in the place for almost a year now….been kinda busy, what with the whole military thing and all. Life at sea isn’t bad…..but it isn’t very good, either. I miss you all terribly.

Thanx for the E-Mail…this is FUNNY!! I’ve run into a coupla people here on the ship that are envious of my Tolkien Top 10 T-Shirt. They like it, and I have to tell them all about theonering.net and all you wonderful people! Thanx for thinking about me while I am at sea, and please feel free to write to me whenever!!!

Your buddy, The Bursar

The LOTR Day Event in Alpharetta, GA had a great turn-out, including several home-schooled kids. They finished their schoolwork up early so as to be able to participate, and participate they did! One lucky kid, 11 year old Alden Lathrop of Atlanta, actually won one of the door prizes. His nifty banner poster was the envy of all!

The staff of the Alpharetta Barnes and Noble put on a nice presentation, including a few Tolkien Trivia questions out of Houghton-Mifflin’s pocket sized Tolkien Trivia book. The 20 minute video was very well received by all in attendance. The Rayner Unwin portion of the video was poignant, and PJ’s comment about now understanding why no one had ever tried to film three movies at the same time drew laughs from all. From the scenes of Rivendell and Hobbiton it is quite obvious that PJ, the artists, craftsmen and actors all have the utmost respect for JRR Tolkien’s works; and I thank each and every one of them for this.

Several of us Ringers were there. Zorina, SamGamgee7, Formula409 and myself had made plans to meet for the event. While there we met 12milecousin, who is a regular visitor to the site. I think we can all agree to a few things: the video was too short, the new movie guide and visual companion are both gloriously illustrated with images of FOTR, those banners rocked and December 19th is still too far away!
