This is the longest I have been sick in years (normally get sick in the afternoon and better by next morning, and usually happens on the weekend to - go figure..)Glad to hear it!Sleep? I seem to remember something called sleep, but the memory is very hazy...And your welcome! Iffen I won't support my game, how can I expect others to do so (besides, I am still in shock over writing a whole game (see my comments in the introduction - 192 page version of HARP).Excellent looking website! I did notice something about the Hobbits though. Normally races have 60 points divided among Endurance and Power Points, and 30 divided among the RRs. You have only 30 in Endurance, and 45 divided among the RRs. For the Hobbits, you might want to increase their Stamina RR bonus to 25 and their Will RR bonus to 20. I think that would be more inline with how Hobbits are portrayed.I have a lot of the MERP modules sitting on the shelves. They are great modules in and of themselves, and easily convertable to other settings.Ok, so I am an opinionated sot! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Seriously though, if you want to use HARP for running a Middle Earth game, more power to you!!woohoo!!Personally, I dislike (to some degree) any setting based on a book or movie as I feel that too many folks are interested in retelling the stories from the books/movies rather then telling their own stories (through gaming). This generalized dislike is heightened with settings where there were EPIC events (i.e. the LOTR trilogy) that change the face of the setting. This steals the limelight from the players, IMO. As for Star Wars, you have basically the same problems as gaming in Middle Earth. All of the EPIC events are played out by a small band of characters. Star Trek on the other hand is a setting built for exploration and adventure, and the stories told about it just happen to be about a famous group(s) and need not be something that affects the whole galaxy (like the events of the first three Star Wars). In Star Trek, there is lots to do and lots of places to go. Nor do you have to actually play members of Star Fleet. You could be traders or explorers who have gone out beyond the boundries of known space.And please notice, that I tend to not bring Tolkien up myself, though I will respond. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />hehe glad you liked it.</blockquote>
