    Next project is the Scouring of the Shire, which I'll be running as a participation game at a future game weekend. Nothing like taking out a classic set of metal models and getting to work!

    RTS month continues with a freshly dropped early access RTS made by a solo dev - THE SCOURING! I know there's been buzz about this game since the demo released a while back, so now I'm giving the EA release a peek Twitch -> day9tv

    Play Ithaca in the Cards - the one game that does not give a shit about dropping the ring into Mount Doom and instead is concerned with playing out the walk home and the Scouring of the Shire. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ehr...

    I have been reading LOTR aloud to my sons, and it has really been hitting me hard in the era of Trump 2.0. Tonight we got to "The Scouring of the Shire," and...oof. Just gutting. But I did enjoy meeting the hobbit named Tom Cotton(!) who's game to get in the streets and drive the fascists out!

    Asked my husband about his take on the cozy hobbit sim game and now he's pulling out special editions of the books and unfolding maps and explaining to me about using the Party Tree to date when the game must take place and how the final battle of the war was part of the Scouring of the Shire

    Played some Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game. My Hobbits took on the Ruffians in the Scouring of the Shire campaign. At this point in the campaign, it's pretty even between the two sides. #WarhammerCommunity #MESBG

    Oh hey it's Jahn. The very same who spoke to Zephiel about unsealing the demon dragon. He's not unlike the other manaketes seen throughout the game, rather he's one of the originals who fought in the Scouring.

    #hobbystreak day 151: No painting tonight. Planning for a Sunday game with the crew. We've got a scenario (one of the Scouring Sands ones), we just need to figure out sides (2v3), so we can fully build lists. Spoiler...I already have some very silly lists built.

    What the world needs now is a new LotR Shadow Of War game, with the exact same mechanics, but you are a hobbit fighting in the Scouring Of The Shire. I want to watch a pudgy, 3'5" barefoot ninja parkouring and assassinating the agents of Saruman.

    The final 2023 episode of my Horus Heresy podcast with co-host and producer Steve Saunders is here at the very last moment! Listen to us yammer about Legions Imperialis, the Scouring, our wishlists for the Heresy, my club's campaign game, and a Very Special Announcement at the end...

    So I found a niche indie rts game called The Scouring. HEAVILY based on Warcraft 2. Played my first multiplayer game. I see the person was listed in the top 10 ranks. Think I'm fucked. I actually won by massing Munchers (ogre magi for Warcraft 2 players) and bloodlust spam. Destroyed all his dwarves

    But … being a big mighty character going on adventures is anathema to Hobbits. That just rocks the boat too much! This isn’t The Scouring of the Shire: The Game.

    I half a bunch of half formed thoughts about Games Workshop/Black Library using the Horus Heresy game branding for the Scouring Series and a fond nostalgia for when they had NYT bestsellers because brand synergy wasn't the priority.

    We created the standards after the fact and we falsely assume, no matter our better mind, that they've *always* been around, but such things as the Scouring of the Shire give the game away

    trying to explain to people that if @officiallotro.bsky.social actually did the Scouring of the Shire that doesn't mean the game is nearing it's end because THERE ARE STILL TWO MORE YEARS UNTIL FRODO SAILS ADDITIONALLY, there's an ENTIRE FOURTH AGE and enough in the appendixes to do stuff!

    -Miyamoto says "we made this just for you, Beebs" and blows me a kiss as he reveals a Fire Emblem game set during The Scouring (I'm gonna keep saying it until it happens) -On that note, NS2 upgrades for Three Houses and maybe Engage? -ends on tiny teaser for a new 3D Mario game (and the 2nd movie)

    Been playing allot of The Scouring Demo on steam lately and it's just... So Fun. It's just so Nice to have an RTS that doesn't get in its own-damn-way trying to be clever again. And the ways this game IS Clever are soooo seamless and Neat! I Love It uwu uwu store.steampowered.com/app/3338950/...

    It's nice the game has the Scouring of the Shire in it. The movie kinda skipped this important bit from the last book.

    No no, that's reading it as literature. Read it as a video game strategy guide, the only form of fiction they understand. Then it makes clear that if you START with the Scouring of the Shire, then there's no inconvenient hobbits to screw up an otherwise solid plan.

    🧵/1 3:30 - Shoutout to my favorite Grey Company & of course, Halbarad! "Well, in LOTRO actually…" is my personal "Well, actually…" in Tolkien spaces. The game fleshes out the Grey Company beautifully, weaving them into epic questlines, and it even alludes to the Scouring of the Shire.

    Next, #TheScouring Where's the beef? This is the most vanilla strategy game I've played in this festival The garrison of structures is cool, but it baffled me that they released the demo without one of their more promoted features: an adventure mode in which you control a hero while the AI takes care of the strategical element, it's just bizarre Also, the user generated content being listed as a key feature is a red flag to me, I'll wait and see #SteamNextFest #gaming #videogames #indiegaming
