I've been rereading The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time in like 15 years and I think I'm loving it more than my previous read. I just love a good walk!

A photo of Ty and Norn in a game store. They are both very happy and holding each other close.
It's messed up that they made @nornnoszka.bsky.social and I such a powerful couple they had to nerf us with long distance

One of my design heroes has written some incredibly wonderful praise of mothership, highlighting things a lot of people don’t talk about. I’ve got the warm butterflies.

Minis on cardboard depicting characters from the early part of Fellowship of the Ring in a cartoony style
Some Lord of the Rings new paper minis from Chris Schweizer! Obviously, to me, this is sickos.jpg.

A page of fictional conversation that frames the character creation chapter of the Lord of the Rings Adventure Game. It demonstrates that one player makes the stats for a character, but the history is defined by the GM.
The Lord of the Rings Adventure Game (ICE, 1991) has interesting assumptions—unlike anything I've ever participated in. Apparent character sharing—do you want to play THIS established character? No, I'll make my own—but the GM creates the history!

Cheers, glad you got a kick out of it!
I made a somewhat more robust game with these themes (but not the nutritional information) called His Majesty the Worm. www.hismajestytheworm.games
Perhaps you'd like that as well.
But my blog has many little Dungeon Meshi projects.
And the text of your game in a game cabinet!

You cannot have a meaningful Dungeon Meshi campaign if strict rations records are not kept.
