The Roleplayers of LOTRO present our Second Annual Thrimidgeday Event!
Last year, the Roleplayers of LOTRO Discord Server hosted our first ever Thrimidgeday: a massive collaborative event featuring dozens of RPers on Meriadoc coming together for an in-universe festival in Buckland, organised by Master Meriadoc Brandybuck, and featuring a market, tale-telling, live performance, an appearance from Merry himself, and much more in a fully immersive RP-driven event.
This year, we are doing it again! Please join us on May 30th, 2026 at 1 PM server-time at the Buckland Faire (32.5S, 62.6W) for a story-based roleplay event set in the post-war period to celebrate Spring & an exciting milestone for the Brandy Hall Archives: a forthcoming web resource for the RP community, where users can create, comment, & collaborate on character profiles, stories, event postings, RP guides, & more. This event will include tale-telling & dance competitions, a gift-market, music, & many, many prizes (including LOTRO points, titles, and character frames)!
You are welcome to attend as a participant, or simply to observe and soak in the atmosphere. However, Thrimidgeday is highly reliant on community participation, and there are many special roles that need to be filled! From Emissaries of Middle-earth, representing lands such as Rohan, Erebor, and Rivendell, to merchants and farmers giving their wares away as gifts (as Thrimidgeday tradition demands), to tale-tellers and dancers and performers, there are many possibilities to participate and to be a part of Meriadoc’s largest RP initiative — as well as to win prizes simply through participating!
If you are interested in applying to fulfil one of these roles, or want to know more, please join the Roleplayers of LOTRO Discord server and reach out to us!
Finally, as with last year, Thrimidgeday is itself the culmination of a month-long RP initiative where players on Meriadoc facilitate & participate in RP across LOTRO’s game-world focused on the collection and creation of lore for Merry’s library. If you would like to be part of this initiative ( and get a further chance at winning LOTRO points), please join the server, and start RPing with our community!
We look forward to welcoming you this Thrimidgeday, no matter where in Middle-earth you have come from, and to RPing with you in The Lord of the Rings Online!
