What we’re about
We are a group of independent fantasy enthusiasts with a focus on J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, the Inklings and their derivative works. The Peter Jackson LOTR movies, Howard Shore movie score, as well as, the literature of the genre: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, The Chronicles of Narnia, All Hallow's Eve, The Greater Trumps and more come under discussion. The Ice and Fire Series by George R.R. Martin "Game of Thrones" is popular with the group. Discussion isn't limited.
If you are interested in this stuff and have no one to discuss it with, this is the place to be. Tolkien and fantasy isn't just for kids .
