September 22nd is the birthday of two of the most famous Hobbits in all of Middle-earth! There are some events surrounding this special day in game as well so be sure not to miss them!
Bilbo and his nephew Frodo share the same birthday and you’ll surely find the residents of the Shire abuzz with rumors of the Riddle-master – a mysterious traveler who appears around this special anniversary to challenge adventurers’ riddling abilities. Can you outsmart the master?

Today, the 22nd of September, marks the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins! If you can’t wish them many happy returns in person, at least stop in at a local pub and raise a glass to their good fortune!

Codemasters just announced on their web pages and Twitter that they’d be giving away 111 full Shadows of Angmar game keys, as well as other prizes to celebrate Bilbo and Frodo’s birthdays. The big celebrations will span next week, from 21st Sept to 25th Sept.
So, first of all get yourself a Codemasters online player account (using link in the quoted section), so you’re ready to activate a key. Then get or bookmark the Twitter channels, check the forums and keep an eye on the May Contain Gamers blog. And, if you win and want to pop in and say hi – I play on Laurelin and would be delighted to have a chat.

I mentioned on twitter recently(ish) that I’d picked up a cool book in our library sale that followed Frodo’s journeys through Middle Earth*. And I promised I’d provide a couple of scans. Well, after a little searching through our strange Tolkein collection, I found it. And as I want to post them on twitter, a couple of scans I took this morning:
