TORN Staffer Ostadan writes: More information, with nice pictures, is trickling out about Fantasy Flight’s forthcoming Lord of the Rings ‘Living Card Game’. This time, the information comes from the French publisher’s site, for some reason.

Gregg and Southern Lakes pilot Rob prepare for take-off
Gregg Nations, a co-producer and script co-ordinater from the popular TV series “LOST”, took a ‘Middle Earth’ tour with Red Carpet Tours last month. The weather was great and there were many highlights, but the one that left Gregg speechless was the breathtaking views from a spectacular helicopter flight over the Dead Marshes, Norwest Lakes and mountains!
The flight is a “must do” for all who take a Red Carpet Tour ! 2011 is shaping up to be an exciting time to be in New Zealand. Wellington will be buzzing with teams of people involved at the Miramar studios, while camera crews will be in action at various locations. You never know who you might bump into !
