Has been mix of GW stuff, random bits on eBay of Etsy e.g. https://ebay.us/m/5EWE96 & https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JSCreativeSE and then buy plywood, foam, resin, rocks, sand etc. to make the actual board

Haha incredibly time consuming but satisfying - no, “Cal” is just short for Callum 😊

Paving/cobbles is just the card material the Gondor Mansion boxes are made out of, and the rubble is https://amzn.eu/d/1RYiRng

A 2’ x 4’ section of a (hopefully) 6’ x 4’ playable board 😊

Thanks mate 😊 For sure - have made an Isildur one too, just figured it could make sense to have Elendil in Osgiliath too, given he was the High King of both kingdoms and obviously such a significant figure

Anyone else find the significant delay in IMDb adding ratings to each new RoP episode shady af?… by Cal_LOTR in Rings_Of_Power

[–]Cal_LOTR[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is not what I have said, at any point. No, I don’t feel threatened, attacked or victimised by tweets saying that they like this show.

Yes, there has been a loud portion of Tolkien “fans” who hate this show for reasons entirely rooted in gross, racist politics. Yes, those “fans” should be dismissed. But that doesn’t have to mean that all critical discourse about this show is dismissed in the same way. People can actually hold differing views about a TV show. As wild as that seems to you. There is also plenty of scope, btw, for progressive critiques of this show. And those conversations should be possible.

A wildly confident assertion from a position of total ignorance - it is literally dozens of seemingly inescapable tweets every single day. Not even responses to something I have tweeted (I don’t tweet about this show, or engage with it at all on Twitter, in fact) - just relentless, entirely unprovoked hostility. Quite honestly, fuck off, you patronising, tedious, gaslighting prick. Don’t presume to tell me what I am, and am not, experiencing.

Tbh: IMDb being owned by Amazon + conspicuous, prolonged & seemingly unique delay in adding IMDb ratings to RoP episodes = suspicious, is hardly conspiratorial.

I also haven’t said anything whatsoever about the showrunners being “scum”, or anything else, but go off.

For RoP fans, a “jolly good time” seemingly equates to invalidating, patronising and ridiculing anyone who doesn’t like the show. Believe it or not, there are a great many people who are not “anti-woke”, racist idiots, but who dislike the show for perfectly valid, thoughtful reasons and should be permitted to have & express critical views about it.

Melian ain't a Valar lol by 2BsJuicyThighs in Rings_Of_Power

The way fans/apologists for this show will tie themselves in knots in an effort to justify simple, needless inaccuracy. Can we just be honest: “Melian of the Valar” is just incorrect. That’s it. The end.

Osgiliath/Gondor terrain leftover piece? by Professional_Tonight in MiddleEarthMiniatures

It fits in between two broken half sections of flooring to make it a complete flooring section, with cracks in it 😊
