One of the things I hear over and over is how Tolkien is creating a soft magic system. I think in my mind I define that just as an ambiguous magic system…one where you don't see magic all that often and then one that also doesn't go into detail about some of the things that are happening. So I don't know if some of you have any answers to these questions because it feels like Tolkien's work just stays forever at a soft magic system. I would be very intrigued and curious if he ever went into detail about that? To be honest, it feels to me like he wouldn't but I'm only a tiny percentage into the work of Tolkien.

Gandalf the Grey delivered a message through a moth, saying he was imprisoned and that whoever heard his message must help Yolo flee to Rivendell immediately, so the troupe tried to do just that. Jimothy McGristle made his last stand at the front door of his pub as the troupe escaped out the back only to face a whole town looking for hobbits. Yolo put the ring on to hide, and Guy picked up Frodo and began to whisk him away to the east gate across the rooftops. But even as they ran, terrifying faceless figures in dark cloaks bearing long blades converged on the invisible Yolo. Can the troupe fight off a whole group of these otherworldly Black Riders?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee.Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice)Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

The troupe continued to search for Gandalf, but found themselves in an increasingly hostile town. Del remained at Jimothy McGristle's to watch the hobbits, Guy tried to convince the guard at the gate that the hobbits had left town, Adam learned that there was a huge bounty on the hobbits' heads, and Tyler overheard someone revealing where the hobbits were being sheltered before her voice was abruptly cut off. But when Tyler went to investigate, he was stabbed by a mysterious figure. Back at the Jimothy's, Guy was then approached by a moth asking about hobbits.

I det här avsnittet av Efterspelet ger sig Jens och Kalle ut på en resa rakt in i Midgårds hjärta när vi spelar The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth, det nya tvåspelar spelet som bygger vidare på klassikern 7 Wonders Duel.Här står mycket på spel: spelar du som Sauron som med hjälp av Nazgûlerna jagar Frodo och Sam för att ta tillbaka ringen? Eller som Ringens Brödraskap, som kämpar för att föra ringen hela vägen till Domedagsberget? Tre olika sätt att ta hem vinsten öppnar för ständiga taktiska val, och varje kort du tar kan vara skillnaden mellan triumf och förintelse.Vi pratar om hur spelet lyckas (eller misslyckas) med att fånga den episka känslan i Tolkiens värld, hur det står sig mot 7 Wonders Duel och vad vi själva tyckte om kampen om Midgård. Häng med för färska intryck, oväntade vändningar och svaret på om detta spel är värt din tid! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The structural and symbolic purposes of ruins in literary texts have a long history, yet few scholars explore their importance within J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. From the ruins of Erebor and the relics of Gondolin appearing in The Hobbit to the various images of Amon Sûl, Moria, and Osgiliath in The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien constructs a distinct mood-one that captures characters' awareness of the glories of the past and a desire to emulate them. The scholars who do engage Tolkien's relics and ruins tend to limit the scope to Tolkien's debt to the Middle Ages. While such scholarship begins important conversations, the full story of Tolkien's relics and ruins is left untold. Tolkien's Medievalism in Ruins: The Function of Relics and Ruins in Middle-earth (Bloomsbury, 2025) takes corrective action and expands this historical and critical literary scope.

In this episode, the boys celebrate a strong performance by Nashville SC versus Houston, and they look ahead to the upcoming US Open Cup final versus Austin FC.  They praise the team for their all-around play in the Houston game, and also highlight the special moments of Hispanic Heritage Night.  And let's not forget that Dolly Parton is the greatest human of our lifetime, the inner joys of woodworking, or the depth of stories that come from Middle Earth.  Then, they boys share a very hot take from one of our listeners before revealing the one big thing that Nashville can do to ensure a US Open Cup victory on Wednesday.  Then, they look ahead and make predictions about both the Open Cup final as well as the upcoming match versus Montreal.  And they drink beer.

Autumn has come to Eriador. As the leaves turn from green to red and gold, the farmers around Bree-hill begin the yearly harvest, eyes trained west to gauge the severity of the winter to come. Elsewhere in Middle Earth, great deeds are afoot. Rumors have reached your ears that the dwarves have retaken Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug, with the help of a hobbit, no less! Distant Mirkwood seethes with spiders and creatures darker still, with only the wizard Radagast protecting the common folk. And there are strange happenings to the south, where shadow lies…But all that is very far from home. Everyone knows that the real heart of the world is the town of Bree, and of course it goes without saying that the heart of Bree is the common room of the Prancing Pony. It is here that you are all gathered on a blustery evening, hungry for Adventure....Mentioned in this episode:QNC OutroThis is the outro section.

This week, Brandon and AJ discuss the role of God(Iluvatar) in Tolkien's Middle Earth, specifically in creation and the daily lives of the characters. What can we learn, reflect on, or incorporate into our own lives, world, and relationship with the Almighty? Is creation a completed work already that we are watching play out? Or is it an ongoing process?

The troupe settled in to try get a good night's sleep before meeting Gandalf the next day. Del was afraid, so she slept on the floor in Tyler's room, Tyler realized he could only sleep when he was wrapped in the dead ranger's cloak, Guy struggled to fall asleep because his newly-acquired darkvision wouldn't let him have total darkness, and Adam found nothing interesting about the silver tree-and-stars ring he took from the dead ranger, so he went right to sleep. The next morning, Guy's hair was longer, Tyler was beefier and brandishing a broken sword, and Adam had clearly become a dwarf.

The next morning, the boys spent some time assessing how bad they all smelled. The hobbits were anxious to find Gandalf, so Del stayed back to look after them, and Tyler and Yolo argued over leadership within the fellowgroup, while Guy scoped out the situation at The Prancing Pony and Adam checked at the gate for any sign of the wizard. When the gate guards heard about the hobbits, one of them took off running, but then the other shot him with an arrow, crying out about getting some reward for herself. At the Inn, Aaron Fudge was strangely insistent that Guy come back with the hobbits.

Worldbuilding. It's one of the most talked about aspects of running TTRPGs, as it is the sandbox into which you will throw your party to adventure in. We've talked about tips and tricks in past episodes and articles, and have come down on both sides of the debate surrounding how much to do with a focus totally on your specific table and party.However, in this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave have decided to become a bit more involved with a new experiment that we cooked up.Something that has never been done on 3WD before – we're going to start building a new world live! In real time, we begin asking the questions that will shape our new creation. As this is a show by DMs for DMs, we're adding another aspect. YOU!

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is filled with grand figures: mighty wizards like Gandalf whose wisdom and knowledge of Middle Earth is utterly priceless and vital for the fellowship, noble kings like Aragorn, who in the movies is more reluctant to take that role, but in the books, is ready to become king, and ancient evils like the evil of Saruman, where he makes a Ring himself and seems to lose all sanity for his actual purpose.

Having escaped the mayhem at The Prancing Pony, Adam and Guy took the dead elf into an alley to loot him, and Del, Tyler, and the hobbits joined them to plan their next move. The surrounding area was overrun by a mob of people, some trying to douse the fire at the inn, and others clearly still searching for the ring bearer, so they decided to take refuge at a different inn, and found themselves at Jimothy McGristle's. Del relayed her solo journey to the rest of the troupe, and they were all left with more questions and uncertainty about how to proceed. Will Gandalf show up, and—if not—can Wet Change get the hobbits safely to Rivendell?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee.Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice)Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

With Walker down and the troupe out of immediate danger, Guy respectfully looted the elf who died for him, and Adam disrespectfully looted the ranger. The troupe learned that the two hobbits were the ringbearer, Yolo Took, and his butler, Frodo Baggins, but they needed to hide until they could meet up with Gandalf the following night. So, Del, Tyler, and the hobbits snuck out an upper-floor window, and Adam and Guy pulled a Weekend at Bernie's to get the elf's body outside to loot it more thoroughly.

Okay. So this essay was originally something I was doing just on my own time. And it was so fun that I decided to start writing it down…and it became this. What I want to do is to take the little book that they found next to Balin's tomb that was kind of hard to read and had words covered over with blood and guts. And I want to just process out loud for myself what is going on there.

Continuing our discussion of Tolkien's original Appendix draft, we will watch Tolkien's linguistic imagination operating on several levels at once.

I already fear this is going to be a weird essay because I'm going to do some live processing in this one. I don't really know what I think or feel on this subject yet and have never really thought about it all that much, but this chapter just seemed to spark something in my mind that I found pretty interesting. So bear with me.

The troupe was locked in combat with Walker, the ranger, while the other bar patrons seemed set on finding the hobbit and collecting the bounty. The elf who had approached Guy earlier came to Guy's defense, but was run through by Walker's sword, Adam convinced Snoopwise to join in the fray, but he too was swiftly taken out, and Tyler used the mysterious locket to bring Del back from the brink. Amidst the chaos, the ringbearer disappeared, but Tyler managed to protect the other hobbit from the surrounding brawl. Del finally took down Walker with a well-placed arrow, but will Wet Change realize who exactly they've just killed?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee.Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice)Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Off on her own side-quest, Del confronted the threatening figure and discovered it was the ranger she'd been seeking. Del dubbed the ranger “Walker” and they headed towards Bree, but were soon set upon by wargs. Walker was badly hurt, so Del patched him up and they finally arrived at The Prancing Pony inn. They quickly spotted Adam and Guy, but for reasons unknown, Walker immediately moved to attack them and when Del called out to her friends, he turned on her too. Tyler rushed downstairs to see a brawl breaking out before him and the inn on fire.

After they got weird shirts from Kemmet from the Forg, the troupe made their way to The Prancing Pony inn. They learned that they hobbits were expected at the inn the following night, but in the meantime, they had a show to put on. The proprietor's introduction of Wet Change managed to turn the crowd against them before they'd even started, but they fumbled their way through some improv games and eventually won over their audience. Tyler went to bed early, but Guy was soon approached by a strange figure who mistook him for an elf he knew, and Adam suddenly noticed that Guy had pointed ears. Could this be a positive development?

As Adam and Guy tried to figure out when the heck Guy had sprouted pointy ears, Hobbits with a reservation for Underhill arrived. Two rangers from across the room jumped up and one of them was Del! Earlier, at Bombadil's house, Goldberry had told Del about a hobbit who's supposed to destroy something but doesn't have the protection he needs. Del was tasked with finding a ranger who can help and then follow her instincts to the hobbit. So, she departed, slightly drunk, and headed east, and eventually happened upon a hobbit being threatened at sword-point by a man demanding if he has the ring. Will Del's close-up magic save the day?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee.Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice)Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic) Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
