Yet the gamers delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the dungeons of Khazad-dum ... shadow, and flame.

I hear there might still be one in the abandoned Mines of Moria. I'm collecting friends for an expedition there to check it out.

How do envision Smaug from the Hobbit? Do you see him as a wyvern-like two legged dragon (forelegs integrated into wings), as envisioned in the Peter Jackson movies? Or do you see him as more of a four-legged D&D dragon (with the wings as separate appendages)? Or something else entirely? What...

I think I have a crush on Doric.

So we went to see this this afternoon (aside [/old man] When did movies get so expensive? $50 for a matinee with popcorn & drinks?[/old man]). Spouse's opinion: "Meh." Spoilsport. A bit too much fantasy and frivolity for her. In truth neither of us are really Marvel fans, but I do enjoy that...

So what type of humor is in the movie? My spouse has a pretty narrow taste for comedy. No "stupid" humor (her definition) -- that encompasses both the slapstick and deliberately obtuse, or over-the-top (think Will Ferrell, Jim Carey), cringe humor (Rebel Wilson), and sadly extends to dry...

Teenage rebellion. Rejects being bourgeoisie, wants to be one with the working class to tweak the parents.

Glamdring, the famous sword-brolly once carried by the king of Gondolin.

Query: Is it a D&D:HAT of d02?

Ooh ... for my other thread ... Steampunk Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring!

Then we can take it on a quest to cast it into the fire.

Warg riders: goblin steamcycle gang.

Legolas uses a magiitech repeating long rifle, and wears an "elf eyes" monacle that gives him far sight. Gimli is a mechanically enhanced dwarf with clockwork axes that lengthen, contract, and can combine to make a two-handed battleaxe. The hobbits all wear top hats, except for Sam, who has a...

And the Academy Award for Scenery Chewing goes to ... Jeremy Irons!

I thought the most expensive D&D movies were the Lord of the Rings trilogy? // Encouraged by the positive reviews so far. Anyone seen a positive review from someone not genre-biased (i.e. not someone immersed in the D&D / gaming / fantasy culture)? Want to see if it mght interest my spouse.

Needed them to travel farther and tunnel through the mountains, plus have a city backed by mountains to beseige. Verdun was just a bit too close. But rearrange some ideas and geography and many things could work. Russia as Mordor is another idea, with Poland as Rohan and somewhere else as...

Just an idea that's been rattling around in my head, maybe for a TOR campaign. Steampunk Middle Earth, but use a WWI-era Europe with some kingdom changes: Frodo & Co. accompanied by Magitech Engineer Gandalf cross a war-torn Europe during the period of the first Magitech War to cast the Lord...

Prompt: Warhamster.

His strips are like wizards; they arrive exactly when they mean to.
