[QUOTE="VagabondDM, post: 302512, member: 6538"] Thus my comment on the early releases. The first release of Middle Earth incorporating about the first year to year and a half of products were good. They were faithful to the setting for the most part and did their best to include flavour text from the books themselves. After that it seemed more like ICE was trying to remake Middle Eartth to be more like ShadowWorld their Rolemaster campaign world. The later products are ok if for nothing more than the lovely maps they provided. Itis important to remember that no RPG is ever going to be able to accurately capture a particular persons view of a novel or series. That's the great thing about books is so much of it is subjective to the reader. It's the main reason I avoid RPGs based on anything but purely original ideas and avoid reading novels based on my rpgs. It avoids the cross taint that will invariably come into being. [/QUOTE]
