[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1326046, member: 12744"] Amen, brother. And ya know, one of the best parts about seeing the movies was watching all of those people who said they "read all that tolkein in school" then were shocked, open mouthed, when the story didnt end at the end of the first film (my wife being one of those). You can usually tell who those people were by them saying "Yeah, I read tolkein in 9th grade, I liked it alright..." instead of those who really read it saying "Yes, I [i][b]sufferred[/b][/i] through tolkein in the 9th grade, then later read the Belgariad for a little mindless fun". I read Tolkein. Even read the Silmarilion. I liked it at times, I slogged through it wearily at others. I put the Silmarilion down about 75% of the way through it and seriously considered therapy. I've read a ton of Conan. Liked most of 'em, at least the ones where the author seemed to 'get' what Conan was like and didnt just spout one tired Conan cliche after another. I'm intrigued by this new RPG though, and may just have to check it out. [/QUOTE]
