I am both excited and a touch nervous as I switch to a few weeks of preparation for my ‘Tales from the Lone Lands’ full weekend game at LongCon at the end of June. It will be a heady mix of reading, structure preparation, resource creating, and figure glueing and painting!
The figure painting may just prove beyond me, but I will try to get some rough figures ready for when the Shadow catches up with our company of heroes. I’m using Renown Gaming’s collection of figures and I have an impossible amount to do in the time I have left. They’ll happen either in time for the event or over time for subsequent games.
Here’s a possible resource that I have found for quick creation of base characters. The system generates based on two key choices, and then you can ‘re-roll’ until you get entries that you like. The sheet is also editable and outputs to an editable PDF.

I’m treating myself to an updated edition of my trusted guide to Midle Earth by Robert Foster. I love this book so much, and I can’t tell you how many hours I have referenced it whilst reading the texts, playing the game, or frankly just gorgeing on the details from cover to cover. Everytime I do so, I find something new, and a connection that fires my imagination. The book will grace the gaming table for gentle perusing and using lore to inform play. I may be the Loremaster, but I’m being collective with all around the table when it comes to accessing the lore. I mean, if we need to, as there will be adventures out in Eriador that will occupy most of our time!
