‍A Shot in the Dark is done!

‍
We asked for shots good enough for a desktop wallpaper, and once again our community did not disappoint! So many of these could easily be a wallpaper, loading screen or artwork for your walls!

Before we jump in to bask in the light of our Challenge participants, we wanted to take a moment to highlight both a long-lasting community mainstay and an emerging well of talent on the Discord.
Namely our #dwarven-life channel and our (relatively new) modding channel.

Since being added to the Discord just after launch, the #dwarven-life channel has been the place to share recipes, craftsmanship, and the occasional trusted companion(🐐) .

‍

Escape the surface for a while, cool yourself in the shade of Moria’s halls and see what’s on show.

‍

Our newest channel the “Unofficial Mods Channel” is increasingly becoming a common waypoint for those who have finished everything RTM and Durin’s Folk have to offer yet still feel the call of the mountain.

Mereak Firmaxe’s Kazâd-dûm Advanced Builder Pack and Tobi Build-lore Artisan Shayar’s Secrets of Kazâd-dûm (just updated!) are standouts.

‍

Reminder: All mods are added at player's own risk. While we love seeing what the community adds to the game, our support team cannot help with issues that may occur following mod use.  

‍
