The Green Book of the White Downs: Shire Post - Scrying the bounds ahead

🖂 Scrying the bounds ahead: January 2024 Edition 🖃

With 2024 upon us, it's time to take a look at what is expected from the various Tolkien licenses. There are still currently only two license-holders for anything produced about Tolkien's works and the world of Middle-earth: The Tolkien Estate and Middle-earth Enterprises (owned by Embracer). To get an understanding of what each company owns, please check the License infographic here (Blog post: 1 February 2023).

📌 Useful 2023 guides
There is also a quick visual guide to books by and about Tolkien here (Blog post: 16 February 2023). For tabletop gamers there is handy blog with infographics for the Free League roleplaying lines here (30 May 2023). Another useful guide is the Gazetteer of Tolkien on the World Wide Web which can be found here (Blog post updated: 19 February 2023).

I've posted a series of blogs (see below) looking at recent, upcoming and possible Tolkien-related releases for:

📗 Books
🎫 Events
🎮 Games
🎭 Media (Film, Television and Theatre)

Media is completely new for 2024, covering adaptations such as film, television and theatre.
