[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 1885585, member: 23012"] That's one sweet site, Mandos! (My french is a bit shakey, as an Anglo-Canadian living in 'the States', but I can read it well enough to appreciate its excellence.) I've got lots of great old ICE Middle-earth stuff sitting around. Although the MERP system did not capture Middle-earth perfectly -- especially in its magic system -- those modules are pretty amazing. The ones by Graham Staplehurst and Terry Amthor are especially good IMO (though Amthor deviated far more from the spirit of Tolkien than Staplehurst). I still think that Staplehurst's Minas Tirith is the best city book around. If I ever run a Middle-earth campaign again (fingers crossed), I will probably use HARP (ripping stuff off from your site with impunity). This will be ironic, given Rasyr's stated dislike for Tolkien. (Bloody philistine!) I like HARP a lot, but for the time being I'll be going with Castles and Crusades, since it fits my style and campaign much better. (And there is the pragmatic consideration that, being based on D&D, is is more familiar to my current players, so the transition pains will be less severe.) But if I ever return to the realm of Endor, I'll give HARP a go. (BTW Rasyr, given the fact that 95 percent of fantasy role-players are somewhat fond of Tolkien, it may not be in your interest to advertise so boldly your dislike for his stuff. It's kinda like trying to promote a science fiction RPG while criticizing [I]both [/I] Star Wars and Star Trek. ;) ) [/QUOTE]
