"You'll be visited by three spirits."

The three spirits:
A scene from the end of The Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson movie version): three elves - Elrond, Celeborn, and Galadriel - stand in front of a harbor scene bathed in soft golden light; they are all tall with long hair (Elrond's is dark brown, the others' is blond) wearing long greyish-silver robes and cloaks. They look benevolently at someone to the left of us.

Well, will you look at what the rat dragged in? 🤩

A photo of the table top game Dark Deeds (a box with a cover that looks like brown old flagstone with a red wax seal bearing a skull imprint and two wax globs that looks like little horns, with the game title in dark red pointy, blade-like lettering at the top) on a seafoam green desk; to the left a Yeti mic and a computer screen; leaning against a white wall a map of the US state Arizona drawn in black and red ink, in the style of J. R. R. Tolkien's maps for The Lord of the Rings, set in a black frame.

Oh hay, Lauren, you're here, too!

'Ello everyone, I'm Kris! Middle-earther extraordinaire, #Tolkien & #LotR enthusiast, professional GM & writer of #ttrpg scenarios!
Ad for ttrpg campaign "Bullroarer's Bane: A Middle-Earth Campaign": a dark, robed figure with glowing eyes facing left, lit by pale blue light from the right, in a dark forest, three winged creates flying away from the figure towards the left; everything done in broad, diffuse brush strokes and brown tones; at the top the words, "You thought recovering the artifact was the tough part. You were wrong.". Ad for *Under Hill, By Water* adventure, "Of Mushrooms Meet & Marvelous": on a deep green background, the cover in the same green bordered in buttery yellow (the title font the same color), under the title a drawing of flat-capped mushrooms clustered in grass, all in sepia tones; underneath the words, "Now available on itch.io & DriveThruRPG!" Ad for ttrpg campaign "Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Middle-Earth Tale of Fae, Folk, & Fear": the trunk, low-hanging branches, and roots of a large tree, several large boulders in the right foreground, in a dark, dense forest; everything done in dark greens and broad, diffuse brush strokes; at the top the words, "Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid." Ad for ttrpg one-shot "Yuletide Special": a winter scene, everything is dusted in snow: in the left half of the image a two-story cottage with yellow wattle-and-daub walls partially hidden behind a stone wall and bare trees, on the right and in the foreground a lane, at the right edge of the image a wall and gate that leads into a meadow, bare trees and a cloudy golden-hour winter's sky in the background, a few birds high on the top right, a lone figure in the middle ground in the lane wearing a brown hat and greenish pants and jacket; detail of William Oliver Stone, "A Cottage In Winter"
