What is the Roving Ranger+?

… and a list of posts so far.

If you want to know what the Roving Ranger newsletter is then simply hop on over to Roving Ranger Special Edition - A warm welcome (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).

Full list of Roving Ranger+ posts so far below.

But if there is already newsletter - why have an extra edition of it?

Well, for quite some time I could only do a bi-weekly edition of the newsletter. And even when I am doing it weekly there are some pieces of news that simply cannot wait to be shared.

So I decided to have sort of a special category blog post here with Steady so I could inform Tolkien fans whenever anything exciting and/ or important happened - as quickly as possible.

Let me give you a few examples

So here is a list of Roving Ranger + so far
