Heya, guys. I'm new to M&B, having only been playing for a month or so, but stumbled across your mod and did my little geek squeal of glee. I loved Tolkien's work, was sort of lukewarm about the movies (never finished watching them), so finding out that there's a mod being developed by people who are even nuttier about Tolkien than I am? Awesome.
And I only say 'nuttier' because I've forgotten a great deal over the years.

Anyway -- I'm afraid I can't be of much help, but I'd like to lend a hand where and when I can. I'm just not sure of what you guys need. is there any NPC development left to do? Quest and/or dialogue trees to be written? Concept sketches to be done? (I can't model worth a damn, but I'm a professional illustrator... and periodically turn out decent texture/skin alterations for models, if given a base to work from.)
I'm figuring you're probably well past these stages, but figured I'd offer just in case you can still use a hand.
