I like it, consider me comfortably hooked. Had a little D&D on the brain when you rolled in

"So there was this Inn right...."

Yo this seems like a great beginning to something big, Im loving it. Your voice over always adds to the story just like in the Wasteland saga. Speaking of linguistics, I have a book on my shelf, Gateway to Sindarin by David Salo. Crazy expanded material of Tolkien’s elvish. I like better the way Quenya looks written out.

Discovered you via Vox Day, and I have been a huge fan ever since. The Strange Company parts 1 and 2 are your best work, so far.

The Tolkien Project has made a very promising start, and I look forward to following the many plot paths hinted at in Chapter 1.

Tolkien for the modern era. Enchanting, immersive, love it!

very good, but audio read makes it sound like it needs editing. phrasing that probably reads well on page comes across as excessively long winded.

also i kind of hate "littles", but otherwise, so far so good.

Hey, is Quenya in the public domain? Are creators allowed to use it in their own stuff?

Excited to hear/read more! I subscribed to get the access to the dulcet tones of Nick’s audio performance. I have really enjoyed your content the past couple of years, and have thought many times while listening to Forgotten Ruin that you would have an easy market in adventure/fantasy books. Consider my story appetite whetted! Also, consider my actual appetite whetted, need to find me a Lavender Scone recipe.

I like it. I really appreciate the audio version, gives me listening material while I'm at work.
