I think it is pretty remarkable how closely together we all finished.
Big thank you to Al for conducting the game so excellently!
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
It could be fun to have more Tolkien-based games on here, don't you think?
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Thank you so much for giving us this, Al. I loved playing and realized just how much I'd forgotten or just did not pay attention to when I read the books the first few times. I'd definitely be in for another game some time in the future.
Bite off more than you can chew. Then, chew it. Ask for seconds.
No, alas, Inanna, for you have nothing of interest going on this year.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
