I had a very similar experience with Hero: found it moving, but was left with a sour taste in my mouth by the strongly nationalistic overtone.I have deeply mixed feelings about LoTR. It was a childhood favorite, my dad read me a chapter every night for a good long while when I was nine years old. It really grabbed my imagination, and probably is responsible for my continuing interest in the fantasy genre.When I re-read it as an adult though, while I still enjoyed large parts of it, I was put-off by the conflations of 'race' with culture/religion and some 'races' with absolute evil, among other things. The books left a great legacy to FRPGs, there's no doubt about that, but this particular part of that legacy is something I'd rather leave out of my D&D.</blockquote>
