Ranna in Middle-earth...*frequently* in Middle-earth

After that poll with the "over 300 hours logged on a video game" bit I got curious about my LOTRO play time so I did the /played check on the ones I play the most...

That's on Evernight Lennidhren, who's at level 140. (There's also Landroval Lennidhren, who was around...85-ish, maybe, last time I played on that server?) If my math is correct that comes to almost 1393 hours logged in on my elven librarian lore-master.

Alts under the cut as this could get long...

Up next is Corbous, level 112 Hobbit Brawler:

So that should be about 286 hours of punching things. :-D (Also, he's that close to level cap and less than a quarter of the time it took Lenni to get there? Brawlers, man. Although of course I've been spending less time on underlevel quests with him and just moving on when quests in a zone turn grey because I've seen them before on Lenni anyway, after all. And I haven't done any festivals and such on him yet either, just zooming to Mordor.

Next highest leveled is Ianthina, level 53 high elf Runekeeper, the LOTRO incarnation of my Pillars of Eternity inquisitor past-life of Watcher Violet (as Corbous is the LOTRO incarnation of Vi's older brother Corbus Itzli...). Note how she's, you know, less than half of Corbs' level? Note how long it took her to get there:

Brawlers, man. In 286 hours he gets to level 112, and in over 330 hours my Runekeeper is just up to 53?

Let's take one more example...my high elf minstrel Fjiola (LOTRO incarnation of Fjóla Reinert who's a Pillars chanter/cipher for a PoE ttrpg we...may or may not ever get around to actually playing, but it's been a while since I first started making her) got to level 35 before I discovered the magic of speed-leveling a Brawler and abandoned her until Corbous, like, single-handedly punches Sauron or something:

So a bit over 31 hours...For a total of over 2000 hours logged in just to the four characters I've played the most overall and recently on one server. I should probably revisit my Landroval and Crickhollow (formerly of Nimrodel...er...I think Crickhollow was where that server got merged to long ago?) and see what their play time was like, too, but anyway. It's a lot. I've been playing since about half a year after LOTRO launched except for a few years when I burnt out on Landroval and didn't play until more recently on Evernight. I guess this does confirm that I chose wisely to buy my lifetime subscription to this game back when they still offered those...I think I've gotten my money's worth after more than 2000 hours! :-D

Time for a lovely watercolor style picrew!

[rannadylin]

Been a while since I did all the ttrpg girls in a picrew but here are my elf, my halfling, and two orlans in one that has a nice array of options!

[rannadylin]

Dollmaker time with adventurer outfits for my adventuring girls! New to the roundup is Wynifred Winterberry from a Christmas special one-shot we did last week! She is a halfling cleric of Yondalla and my first actual DnD character. :-D

[rannadylin]

New dollmaker time! Such stylish PoE girls!

[rannadylin]

This picrew has my PoE girls ready for autumn :-D

[rannadylin]

The cuteness! This may be the fluffiest Rhoswen I’ve made in a picrew yet. Very cute Dal and Fjóla too! It had so many layering options for hair, clothes, facial markings, etc. that this was one of the most fun ones I’ve seen in a while!

[rannadylin]

An interesting and very pretty picrew!

[rannadylin]

A fabulous dollmaker for my PoE ttrpg girls!

[rannadylin]

Today’s picrew [featuring the AU where the orlans are elves, I guess XD]!

[rannadylin]

Very cute ttrpg girls in this picrew!

[rannadylin]

My quest to convert all my PoE ttrpg characters to LOTRO characters continues: here’s Fjóla, or in LOTRO spelling (of course Fjola was taken, like all of them) she’s Fjiola. She is a high elf from Gondolin and as you can probably tell from the violin, a Minstrel (in the ttrpg she’ll be a Chanter/Cipher so...that’s more or less a Minstrel? If a Minstrel can also do psychic stuff? yeah. totally.)

She is also exceedingly fashionable as you can see from these wardrobe samples. Which one is your favorite? :-D 

[rannadylin]

A very cute picrew today!

[rannadylin]

Another day, another LK elf, godlike orlan priest cook, and fluffy auburn wizard in another picrew... :-D 

(Tagged by @aban-ataashi although I didn’t see that until after I’d made them when this one made the rounds of the rpg discord... XD So! I am tagging @queen-scribbles @haledamage @shimmer-like-agirl @adraveins @sayonaramidnight to make some OCs if you wish!)

[rannadylin]

Fluffy ears for Orlans and a truly pale Pale Elf in this picrew!

[rannadylin]

Fancy night sky ball gowns from here!
