[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3689742, member: 2205"] No, you don't. That's an interesting oversight. I may have to go add a sentence or two to the wikipedia entry... Heh. I love Tolkien. [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] is my favorite work of literature and all that. But honestly, I'd rather fantasy did something other than endlessly try to rip him off. None of his (many, many) imitators have managed to bottle up the genie that he did. They'd be better off going some other direction, IMO rather than putting up endless rehashes that compare poorly to the original. Part of my reasons for prefering a more S&S, pulp, Weird Tales type game when possible. And if I want Tolkienian High Fantasy, I'd rather get that from Decipher's LotR game. Plenty of other options for High Fantasy too. Interesting watching the results. S&S took an early lead, which seems to have been mostly eroded now. [/QUOTE]
