His LotR movie gave RPGs a better image than 100 media campaigns would. LotR is on the Top 10 most sold books for some five months now, and for a while the Top 10 was almost entirely JRR Tolkien and JK Rowlings! That is so unprecedented in Brazil that I can't begin to make you all fathom it!The only thing needed is to make the larger audience realize that RPG isn't Goth Horror, Medieval Fantasy, Cyberpunk or whatnot. It's a medium, like a comic book, or a movie, or a newspaper. It's a WAY of telling a story, not a STYLE of story.But hey, the brand new magazine on Tolkien down here said on their cover that JRR Tolkien is the "Father of RPG". But then again, they said that dark elves came first in Records of Lododss War, and not in DnD, so... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
