[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3481925, member: 2205"] Indeed; I didn't think you were accusing me personally. I lost count of how many times I had read LotR sometime around 15, back when I was a teenager. While I don't read it as often now, I'm sure I've doubled that since then. I kinda like the idea of Christopher Lee, who says he reads it once a year. I discovered LotR completely independently of any love of gaming, or any surge of popularity of the works and immediately loved it. If anything, I can credit LotR for doing two things for me vis a viz D&D: 1) making me seek out this weird game that some friends of mine had tried to get me interested in a few years earlier but which didn't "take" yet and try it out seriously this time around, and 2) get quickly discouraged by the rampant D&Disms even in 1e and the BD&D days that didn't allow me to come up with games that I thought resembled LotR much.
