Could be in part because they have no idea of how much Tolkien was influenced by mythology and folklore. It goes without saying that two works heavily influenced by the same folklore are going to be similar.

That's what I thought myself until Gary wrote that Ilfs were "rustic elves." So I figured they were more akin to wood elves and the wylfs to wild elves. Plus there's an illustration of a wylf in LR4AP with facial paint, etc., and that reminded me of the Picts.

Wylfs? ;)

Heathansson (and whoever else might be interested), you can get Beasts of Lejend from Inner City Games at http://www.fuzzyheroes.com/. Highly recommended, with lots of unique creatures and novel (for an RPG anyway) interpretations of our favorite traditional monsters.

I've always said that the LA system has a certain elegance to it. :lol:

Perhaps the Forces of Evil (tm) got it riled up, or perhaps it's a tree beast a la Dark Druids. :) Even Treebeard very nearly squashed Merry and Pippin.

I answered "No," but perhaps that's not entirely true, since I disliked 3.0 so much that I haven't so much as looked at 3.5.

That's not half as potent as he can be when he's paid a finder's fee, though. :D

Updated to note that the position has now been filled.

Whizbang, perhaps the this link will be of some help: Pied Piper Publishing: Publisher's Note Here you will find the stat abbreviations that Rob will use for the Cairn of the Skeleton King module. As to why the compatibility of the work isn't explicitly spelled out, I think past legal actions...

Ah! At last another person who celebrates Lady Day! ;)

It is Sunday, after all. ;)

Ah, well, perhaps some kind soul will take it upon himself to stat out the NPCs and monsters and such for CZY. After all, it is a great setting even if one never delves into the Castle's dungeons.

Yes, and if there were an LA version of Yggsburgh that would be just ducky. ;)

Re: the Chicken Dance No, 'tis true. I can't explain it, but the Polish folks around here love the chicken dance! It is sort of a polka, after all. It is embarrassing, but I can put up with it as long as I can walk to the Polish butcher to buy kielbasa. ;)

'Round here, if you can do the chicken dance, you're in like flint. ;)

I think this old nag is lame.

Well, not everyone can manage that style. I can (poorly!) and I have found it more to my taste than working from extensive notes. I usually lose track of extensive notes anyway, so if I work on the fly I at least spare my players the bother of waiting for me to find something. ;)
