[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 8975025, member: 5868"] Just an idea that's been rattling around in my head, maybe for a TOR campaign. Steampunk Middle Earth, but use a WWI-era Europe with some kingdom changes: Frodo & Co. accompanied by Magitech Engineer Gandalf cross a war-torn Europe during the period of the first Magitech War to cast the Lord of Time’s Watch of Power back into the fires of the factory in the Ruhr from whence it came. Start in a village (the Shire) west of London (Bree), by steam train and boat to France where they pause in Paris (Rivendell) before having to attempt tunnels through the Alps to avoid the Western Front, pausing in Bern (Lothlorien) for a respite before moving on (Gandalf having fallen to a Steam Golem). The party splits; Merry & Pippin captured by Austrian orcs and taken east while Frodo & Sam continue north toward the Ruhr (Mordor). The Nine Pilots are abroad; having been defeated in their cars by the channel crossings, they are now in magitech aircraft, while the Zepplin assault on Muenchen (Gondor) is forming up in the Rhineland. Aragorn rescues the hobbits while taking Austria out of the picture, and raising the Bohemians come to the aid of a beseiged Muenchen whilst Frodo and Sam reach the outskirts of Frankfurt ...
