[QUOTE="Zander, post: 3026690, member: 1364"] Please expand so that I can better understand your point. Thanks. No because the Odissey is thousands of years older. Hundreds of years from now, the difference in age between D&D and, for example, LotR will be small compared to the overall ages of either one of them. Illustrations of Middle Earth elves existed during his day. None AFAIK had trunks and antlers. If they were supposed to have them, I think he would have said. That depends what you mean by "clear". There are various aspects of orcs (also called goblins by Tolkien) described in his stories as well as a fuller description elsewhere in answer to questions from fans. He does make them seem simian, or at least degenerate humans or elves. You're mistaken. My description of psionics' roots is accurate. I would encourage you to look into its Campbellian origins.
