You may remember Beldrieth of Arkenstone from her excellent story “Mainly Concerning a Hobbit” which she was so nice to let us post here on CSTM.
Beldrieth was so encouraged by the great comments she received that she has decided to start her own blog! You can find more of her writing now at http://thehobbitsinthestories.wordpress.com/. This is the kind of news that just makes my day!

A new feature for LOTRO bloggers has appeared on the MyMiddle-Earth.net web site. LOTRO Portal is a space for LOTRO Bloggers to share their pictures, thoughts, journeys or stories with other LOTRO players.
It runs on a WordPress platform (similar to my.lotro) and easy to use. To start posting your own LOTRO adventures follow these simple steps:

This week we have special guest Syp (aka Justin Olivetti) from the Massively “Road to Mordor” column as well as his own blog Bio Break.
Work has been kicking our butts lately so had Syp not been the star of this week’s episode, the title of this week’s podcast most likely would have been “Week of Fail”. Merric didn’t get time to prep and publish the Warden Roundtable like we said and Goldenstar had forgotten to put up the player achievement post and at the time of recording had not created a new weekly poll!

We have a new blog writing about LOTRO to share with you today by Drannos. The Pix’led Life doesn’t focus solely on LOTRO as Drannos is a fan of many games (as many of us are) but it is heavily focused on LOTRO as that is what he primarily enjoys to play.
Stop by and read through some of his posts. You may be interested in his occasional other game posts as well and find a great resource for all your favorite games!

Merric and I both attended the Blogger Gathering (named Blogmoot by Banhorn which I think is great!)held last Saturday night and I have to say I had a good time. I got to meet some of my favorite bloggers, some potential bloggers and learn of some blogs currently missing from my blogroll (quickly remedied I must add).

Poor Merric is super sick with “Baby Plague” but we keep on podcasting anyway!
This week we try one of the old Angmar Battle Instances, Battle for Aughaire. We found it to be very skirmish like for being a regular fellowship quest. We think at least the one we ran would make a great skirmish in the future.

This week we talk about things we did this week was quite a bit!
Goldenstar got the new spring festival mount on three of her characters. Goldenstar also made two new alts a Lore-master and a Hunter. The hunter is absolutely adorable so picture has been included so you can enjoy the cuteness. She also participated in a run of Barad Gularan with the kin.

Finally back on our regular schedule after our week of interviews last week. We do a final recap of our PAX experience.
We talk about the Spring Festival events and Merric’s general apathy towards this festival this time around. Goldenstar has done the events so much that she’s pretty much burnt out on the events and is playing her Runekeeper for a break.

The Uruk Hunter was is written by Saks a player from the Vilya server who’s been playing LOTRO since the beginning. He started the blog earlier this month but already has a good selection of posts available to browse through.

A new LOTRO themed blog has appeared on the scene that you all should know about called Mordor or Bust. It’s author is Brian of Silverload who plays primarily solo and says that his blog will focus on the game from a mostly solo perspective.
Be sure to add him to your feed reader. We will be adding his blog to our LOTRO Blogger Bundle if you choose to get your news that way.
