Just Announced: New Cozy Lord of the Rings Game Coming in 2024!

There will be a new Lord of the Rings game coming next year! As of right now we just have a teaser trailer & this from the developers:

"Your cosy Hobbit life awaits in Tales of the Shire, a heart-warming, new, The Lord of the Rings™ game due out in 2024 on console and PC."

It's being worked on by Private Division & Wētā Workshop.

What do you think?!

I’m so excited for this

The terrible Gollum game is only the beginning, folks. The Hobbit enters the US public domain in just a little less than ten years, so the current rights-holders are going to be trying to squeeze every last bit of profit they can out of the little fucker before he becomes free to use. You have no idea what's coming.

I'm calling this the freudian headcanon of the day

Demisexual? No, you misheard. I said Dummysexual. I'm attracted to that moron over there. Look at them. They just tripped over nothing and set the house on fire. I'm in love.

13 with bilbo for the character ask game 😆

Heh, nice one.

13. "Your favorite friendship they have." - With Bofur, with Gandalf and with Elrond. With many others too.

I love how in The Hobbit both Bilbo and Gollum think they've told the easiest riddle ever that even a toddler could solve and they're going to lose the riddle game but they don't realize that one has been underground for over a hundred years and doesn't remember eggs very well or that one doesn't fish and therefore has no idea what "mail never clinking" would refer to.

Gollum being like, "He'll get the fish one, everyone knows about fish."

Bilbo:

(and vice versa with Gollum and the eggs and the sun)

I made a set of Tolkien inspired fantasy maps of real-world locations including Scotland, the UK and Ireland, Europe, New England and North America for fun but turns out people like using them in their games so, here's how you can find them!

You can download copies of all these maps for free with or without labels for printing or use in your TTRPGs over on my Tumblr page here:

Fantasy Maps in a Tolkien Style

You can also buy prints of these maps on my Redbubble page :

If you would like to use these in a commercial project, drop me a DM and I'd love to chat!

TOP 10 BOOKS & LITERATURE ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS, SINGLE CATEGORY ONLY VERSION (2009-2022)

If you want to see the Books & Literature bar chart with the multi-category fandom tags included, please check this post.

To make these bar chart race, all series titles in the Books & Literature Category on November 21 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, manually filtered for fandoms belonging in only one category, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

The Harry Potter tag is used in multiple categories (Books, Movies & Games) so it has been excluded in the list. If you check the bar chart linked above however, you’ll see that it remains firmly in first place even when all the other multi-category fandoms are included.

Author - Works tags have also been excluded since it makes the list very redundant, especially when Good Omens rose up in the Top 10 in 2019 onwards. Good Omens is a subtag for PRATCHETT Terry - Works and GAIMAN Neil - Works. When Good Omens resurged in 2019, so did these 2 author tags, taking up 3 spots in the rankings. Good Omens accounts for 90%+ of RATCHETT Terry - Works and GAIMAN Neil - Works’ fanworks in 2022. 

Here are the list of authors who would have made top 10 sometime in 2009-2022 if Author - Works were included: Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Rick Riordan, Stephen King, Alexandre Dumas, Lois McMaster Bujold, Tamora Pierce, and briefly Cassandra Clare before her author tag was removed from the Books & Literature Category in 2015 onwards. J. R. R. Tolkien also ranks high but would’ve been excluded from the list since his author tag is also turns up in the Movies category.

Fairy Tales & Related Fandom was in the Top 10 in 2013-2014 until much of the movies and TV shows in its subtags where removed in 2015, reducing its fanworks to 23% of its size in 2014. Some of the removed subtags were: Frozen. Tangled, Maleficent, and a bunch of other fairy tale movies. I’m excluding this tag from the list since it clearly would not have made top 10 without those subtags.

In 2013. the Mythology tag was removed from the Books& Literature list and Religion & Lore - Ambiguous Fandom tag was created. Mythology fanworks showed up in the latter’s filter instead.

Clearly, a novel tag’s fanworks increases more when it gains a movie/TV show/comic/cartoon adaptation. However, it’s hard to say if it’s because more people become interested in the reading the novels again after its adaptation was released, or if people who have seen the adaptation also tag the original novel when they post fanworks of its adaptation.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

So! Who else is SO EXCITED for “Tales of The Shire”???

[entishramblings]

I am so excited for the holidays…but not because of holiday shenanigans. rather, because this is the time when the fandom comes back to tumblr. people are off from school. people are off from work. people seek solace from the emotions, sometimes hard ones, that come from holidays and end up here once more. I am excited to have the fandom all back together again. I am excited for the memes, the fics, the art. I am excited for the fandom community to be alive once more! I love you fuckers so dearly.
