Edward: "The staging is very beautiful, capturing the essence, the festivity, and all the essential elements."

Yao: "A cozy hobbit hole, decked out for the holidays! It's magical."

Kaels: "A beautiful snow-covered porch, fir trees, snowmen, decorations, presents - everything is ready to welcome Santa Claus!"

Scenario: "All the snow-people are brought to this party! Great use of the decorative walls to turn a simple hobbit barn instead a snowy private estate for the snow-folk!"

Audience Average: 6.32 - Jury Average: 6.63 - Overall Score: 6.44

#3 - Aenhir

Edward: "That's a really cool idea! It's turned out pretty well too. Everything looks balanced. It's a shame we can't make it snow inside."

Khelsi: "This scene is very cute and peaceful, I like the idea of using the dome as a globe."

Kaels: "It's a really cool creation, very trendy right now. You almost want to turn the picture upside down to see the snowflakes fall (but don't try that at home)."

Scenario: "Their "Snow globe" is a quiant arrangement with the miniature houses beckoning the viewer in out of the cold. The only thing it is missing is a light snowfall happening."

#2 - Izabeaux

Kaels: "A stunning display of autumn colors featuring trees, wheat sheaves, pumpkins, candles, and a beautiful backdrop, creating a visually appealing scene."

Khelsi: "I like this small scene, I can just imagine the goblin going back to his hut at the end of a long day and having a quiet dinner with his dog. This creation has a sort of life to it, it is kind of refreshing."

Yao: "It's the perfect little Halloween scene! The colors are great, and the setup is really well done!"

Scenario: "This little scene does a great job of telling the story of a lonely goblin grave-digger and their bet barghest. There's a lot of mood and story telling set up in this scene and a great use of assets to get in little details."

Audience Average: 7.39 - Jury Average: 7.85 - Overall Score: 7.58

#1 - Tweedia

Yao: "A magical little snow-covered grove that seems to whisper a tale. It's gorgeous!"

Kaels: "I can't quite explain it, but I really loved the first screenshot. I think it has everything: it's graphic, simple, and there's a nod to the two friends (J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis). There's something really special about this image that blends two universes and two friendships. Well done!"

Khelsi: "I love it! The Narnia reference is very recognizable and the fairy tale aspect is well rendered, it is a breath of fresh air. It makes me want to start a new adventure 😁"

Scenario: "It was great seeing this little homage to one of JRR Tolkein's contemporaries! Even without reading the descriptions, I was immediately transported to Narnia and fully understood the story being told in this space. Now we just need Bilbo in a scarf to really showcase him as a Tumnus stand-in."

Audience Average: 7.15 - Jury Average: 8.25 - Overall Score: 7.59

Scenario's Choice : Tweedia

Scenario (LotRO Lead World Builder and Housing Master) :

"I vote for Tweedia. The story-telling here was immediately apparent and seeing another piece of literature recreated within LOTRO was really fun. The gateway does a great job of evoking the wardrobe without obstructing the view of the diorama behind it."
