  • Forming the Company: Myrtle Smallburrow
    Jan 1 2026

    Welcome to Forming the Company, a mini-series where we create the characters whom we will accompany on this first adventure together! Today, we meet Myrtle Smallburrow, a compassionate, but anxious, hobbit from the Shire who has set out to help protect the Free Folk from the Shadow and its foul agents.

    We will be using The One Ring table top role-play game system by Free League Publishing (Disclaimer: This show is not endorsed, sponsored, or affiliated with Free League Publishing in any way.)

    Note: while this show uses the Holy Scriptures as inspiration for its stories and characters, it is not intended to be used as a replacement for a genuine Bible study. (My knowledge of scripture is after all, limited.) I recommend that in order to better understand the truths contained in the Bible, you visit a church in your area that focuses on studying the Holy Scriptures and teaching its principles.

    One such church is Journey Baptist Church @ The Junction in St. Joseph, MO. If you live in that area, please come and visit!
    Address: 5995 SE State Route A Saint Joseph, MO 64507
