Middle-earth™ update: Letters are going out this month to those lucky people who are being considered for the Middle-earth™ PBM playtests. Progress continues in development and playtest games are still scheduled to begin in Spring. If you sent in an application, watch your mailboxes like a Gondorian guardsman!
