Almost every day of the year has something going on in The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. Bilbo’s birthday party. The Fellowship leaving Rivendell. The Ring going into the fire.
Third Age Events is a little app for my LED display that shows what happened in Middle-earth on today’s date. There are 210 events across 162 dates, and each one is tagged by the book it comes from in its own color, so you know if you’re in The Hobbit or Return of the King.
You can have it show one event at a time or scroll through everything that happened that day. On quiet days with nothing in the books, it plays a little animated scene instead, or you can tell it to skip the day.
I’ve submitted it to the Tronbyt app store. Fingers crossed it’s on more desks soon.
