Learning LOTRO: Lesson Forty-Nine - Elevenses for Extra Life

 

In this series, I talk about various aspects of The Lord of the Rings Online. This series is meant for newcomers, but may also help veteran players find more to love about the game.



When it became apparent to me last year that I was likely going to pass my initial Extra Life goal of $1,000, I began making stretch goals. The easy choice for $1100 was Elevenses, which every good Tolkien nerd is familiar with -- along with a lot of other people around the world. For this special entry of Learning LOTRO, I share a bit of knowledge about Elevenses and consume some traditional fare as well!

Special thank-you to: Everyone who donated to my Extra Life page in 2020. Without you, this entry wouldn't exist, and hundreds of kids at Children's National in D.C. wouldn't be benefitting from your generosity. Thank you for helping me to be a hero for the kids!

Sushi Day


I am not a fish person. I'll eat fish sticks. I'll eat fish and chips. And that's about it. Sometimes shrimp. So this... this was a tough milestone incentive to promise. But this is me keeping that promise! This is the story of how I finally ate sushi for the first time.

Learning LOTRO: Lesson Six - Travel Guide


In this new series, I talk about various aspects of The Lord of the Rings Online. This series is meant for newcomers, but may also help veteran players find more to love about the game.


"Where is Nan Gurth, and how do I get there?" "Why do people in World Chat keep asking for a 'taxi'?" "How do I get back to Bree from here in a hurry?" These questions and more are easily answered in this entry as I discuss modes of travel in Lord of the Rings Online.
