To celebrate Tales of the Shire releasing, @lab42games.bsky.social had a bit of a bash - and some of our team put together a lovely keepsake for everyone that worked on it with @wetaworkshop.bsky.social. We had to find our Elvish name! I love mine so much!

A photo of a table full of small boxes, with little scraps of paper on top - names, written in Elvish.

What a game! I still pinch myself that I got to be involved in porting this to Steam, that I got to dig around in the code and the tools and see how the masters at RGG put this ridiculous, massive, silly, exciting game together. One of the greats.

We understand that people have some very valid issues with TGAs, but this game was a labour of love for a very small but passionate team at Lab42, and it already means the world to them to be considered.
