I've been making Tolkien-related bingo cards. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write. It's for the March
b2mem bingo challenge.
You have to come up with a theme, and then fill 24 squares with a prompt or challenge related to that theme. I decided on the theme "March 3019 T.A.", which is when much of the main action of
The Lord of the Rings happens (the Downfall of Sauron is on March 25th, as you already know, Bob).
I looked in the Appendices to see what other events were happening alongside the events of the book, and I tried to come up with prompts using as many of those as possible. Some of them we get accounts of second-hand; some we don't really hear about at all. I got so engrossed in this that I missed my stop on the bus this morning. Oops.
My prompts so far are under the cut. If you happen to have detailed knowledge of the events of March 3019 of the Third Age, I'd be very grateful if you took a look through and pointed out any glaring errors before I commit this to the care of the generous card-makers.
