[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 4045907, member: 1003"] Right, because given the choice between doing all the cool stuff Boromir, Aragorn, Gimli, Eomer and Legolas (BAGEL) get to do, and the somewhat less cool stuff the Hobbits were doing in most of the movies, how many potential new D&D customers would pick "Hobbit"? The fact that Sam and Frodo were the main characters, and that Pippin and Merry got lots of lines, may have distracted you from the fact that (for the most part) the Hobbits didn't really [I]do [/I]anything other than eat a lot, talk a lot, get stabbed, get kidnapped, get drunk and get high. And Sam's only two fight scenes were not nearly as dymanic and badass as any of BAGEL's. Or Gandalf's. Or Eowyn's. Or Treebeard's. I fully admit that Halflings have their issues with having a good, clear theme and feel; but I don't think going back to Hobbits really has mass appeal. [/QUOTE]
