Lorien “Ramen” Carney, Community Relations Specialist for The Lord of the Rings Online writes: Learn about the character customization possibilities of LOTRO’s Traits System! Traits are new skills, bonuses, and other enhancements that benefit your character, and may be discovered through the course of one’s adventures and explorations in the game. Traits add a fun level of discovery and purpose to many tasks, both mundane and heroic, and we think players will really enjoy discovering new Traits with which to enhance their characters. [More]

Marilynn writes: Minneapolis is one of three U.S. cities that actor Ian McKellen will visit with his portrayal of “King Lear,” directed by Trevor Nunn for the Royal Shakespeare Company. It will run in repertory with Chekhov’s “The Seagull.”It’s a very expensive operation, and we’re going to have to sell out and subsidize with fundraising, but it’s worth it,” director Joe Dowling said Monday. “This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” The tour’s only other stops are New York and Los Angeles.
