Hello, everyone!
It's been a while. Again. Personal stuff made me excuse myself from the Board and the server for some time, but I'm active again in the latter. Don't know when I'll be able to write missions again (kind of lost my zest for coming up with them, although I do still love to read you folks' missions!), but I do have a fan project finally completed that I think some PPCers might be interested in a little. I've been working on and off for a few years on a Lord of the Rings playlist where each major character and plot-important location (or at least most of them, since there are quite a few) has a song or a piece of music associated with them. Well, today I finally managed to complete it! I can't share an actual playlist link since that would mean linking to other accounts, as well as not being able to indicate which song is assigned to what, but I shall give you the playlist in this post and link to each song separately so you can listen. Behold my magnum opus!

Some of these videos might not be available based on your location, but since I included song titles, everyone can look them up if need be. Enjoy my selections, or at least I hope you will. :) And feel free to ask why these specific songs (although I'll admit it's been a while since I chose some of them, so the memories might be fuzzy - some I chose based on title but most based on, as the kids these days call it, vibes), or tell me what your song picks would be for a playlist like this! I do believe I got it right with the songs for Moria and Aragorn at least, but I'm eager to hear thoughts on this.
