The nice thing about our hobby is the enthusiasm. So a lot of people sharing this hobby are afraid of the moment when they are alone with their enthusiasm. Again and again people ask if our hobby is dead or say that soon nobody will play anymore.

But it is as it is so often: There's life in the old dog yet! And I think the small Hobbits will bring unexpected energy into the community. Who can resist the charm of  those magnificient Shire model landscapes? Who doesn't like beautifully painted Hobbit miniatures? Who doesn't want to set Farmer Maggot's dogs on the ruffians? I predict an impulse of enthusiasm and I'm curious for your opinion about this topic.

As always when a new add-on for the game is published there are lots of things to be discussed, imagined and tested. For the first time we want to addict a special to this add-on so that you can find all corresponding articles very fast.
We start with a tutorial by Rusus which is about building a Hobbit hole. If you take a look at his hole, you will understand why he received the title "Baumeister" (master builder).

Have fun with the special,
yours Tankred
