Me and Cherish have been writing games for 15 years, but Tabitha has easily been our most complex challenge! Rather than sticking to the noun/verb/adjective structure of Mad Libs, we wanted players to have way more freedom to tell their own stories - without it degrading into total nonsense.

To celebrate Tales of the Shire releasing, @lab42games.bsky.social had a bit of a bash - and some of our team put together a lovely keepsake for everyone that worked on it with @wetaworkshop.bsky.social. We had to find our Elvish name! I love mine so much!
