It’s been three years since @nerdoftherings started playing Magic: The Gathering, and the road goes ever on with #MTGxTheHobbit! The only thing that has changed is the size of his play group. by @nerdoftherings

HOBBITON!! What an incredible dream come true! I’ve been grinning ear to ear all day at @hobbitontours . They’ve done an incredible job bringing the art of @johnfhowe & @alanaplee to life! Such an amazing and special day. ❤️❤️❤️

Shoutout to awesome Hobbiton employees Josh, Kate, @bushcraftluke , & Mikayla for helping us to capture some really great stuff. Can’t wait to share over on YouTube!

It's officially Orctober! 👹

So naturally when Matt from @nerdoftherings paid us a visit, our prosthetics artists Emma and Tuesday transformed him into a fully fledged Orc, ready to march on Minas Tirith.

Check out his transformation 🎨✨

Is the opening chapter of Fires of December @brandsanderson ‘s best first chapter yet? Personally, I think it’s absolutely incredible! Have you started reading it? What’s your (non-spoiler) thoughts so far?
