Except that that idea is largely in violent disagreement with the source material; Rohan isn't founded until much later in the Third Age and the House of Eorl comes from the northern end of the Anduin. If this Halbrand guy takes his people north in the end it aligns, but the Rohirrim did not...

We must be cautious.

Ah, Nutkinland. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Can we point, too? I find it really enhances the laughing.

My condolences to the people of Great Britain and the Commonwealth. It's the end of an era. Best wishes for King Charles III.

Random thought ... I can improve this series with the removal of one letter: House of the Dagon.

I'm pretty sure this one's pining for the fjords already. Besides, you cant quote MP in a MP game, so what does that leave?

That's it. WORDS! Blurp. Thweek. FLIBBERTIGIBBET! // I mean, it's not exactly surprising that a scholar of Beowulf would rip off Beowulf, even unconsciously. On the topic of accents, has anyone listened to the Andy Serkis audiobooks of Lord of the Rings? He does different British accents for...

Yeah, JK totally ripped off D&D ripping off JRRT. (Or Jack Vance. Or Robert E. Howard).

It's a Horcrux? I guess the One Ring does qualify ...

Poking around in the LotR appendices trying to understand the timelines of the Second and Third Ages, I came to the realization that the Second Age aren't the stories I most want to hear. I think I understand why Amazon would pick the Second Age -- relatively blank canvas, better traditional...

Right ... I seem to recall some explicit text about Cirdan giving Gandalf his ring when Gandalf arrives on the shores of Middle Earth. Having Gandalf/Olorin show up in the second age would explicitly contradict that. Ah! Found the text I remember in the Appendices:

Thanks for that. Yours is a review I can trust.

Which version of the following MadLib would you find most appealing to adventure in? (Adjective) (Plural Noun) of (Adjective) (Noun) Island Choices for Adjectives/Nouns: Ninja, Pirate, Robot, Dinosaur, Zombie, Warlock Example: Ninja Robots of Dinosaur Pirate Island

Well, appropriate to EN World: The Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide (especially 1E DMG for the demon cover). Strangely, more seldom the MM despite nudity. But then that was the Satanic Panic for you. The head scratchers for me (well, I mean beyond all of the other head-scratchiness...

Hamsters on shoulders and hippos on 'jammers Bright shiny crystals and thri-kreen with hammers Nasty githyanki with magical rings These are a few of my Spelljammer things Astral helm visions and Hadozee in oodles Firearms and spell bombs and plasmoids like noodles Spell ships that fly with the...

First, we need to agree that these are discrete rather than continuous class issues. But in keeping with the continuous verbiage, why is it no one talks about the beta rogue, the Cauchy bard, or the chi-squared ranger?
