THE HOBBIT inspired adventures

[Morrus]

Anyone know of any The Hobbit-inspired adventures? Any game system (indeed - have any of the LotR/ME systems ever had an adventure based on it specifically?)

I always wanted to try MERP and never quite got there. I did find this site http://www.waynesbooks.com/MERPAdventures.html that lists a lot of MERP adventurs. I think I knew about this site before but never browsed it. I'm glad I did.

Denizens of the Dark Wood
Three low-to-mid level adventures which each stand on their own and can be set up in minutes.

The Necromancer's presence in Mirkwood has lengthened the shadows darkening the forest's eaves. Orcs from the Grey Mountains move south through the trees, Giant Spiders congregate in larger numbers, and Trolls emerge from their caves more frequently.

Several lads and lasses of Ulgarstat, a hamlet at the forest's edge and due west of Lake-town, have disappeared without a trace. Will you risk unknown dangers to find and rescue the missing youths in Attercop Attack?

A merchant based in Lake town has lost a caravan to Trolls along the Men-i-Naugrim. Will you face the dread Tereg to recover Master Eolsen's goods and discover the fate of his hirelings in Trouble With Trolls?

A Beorning warrior has learned of a tithe to the Necromancer from the last of the Orcs he slew while traveling though Mirkwood. Will you accompany Grimbold into the forest to waylay the treasure before it enters the Necromancer's citadel in The Tithing Train?

Combat Giant Spiders, Trolls, Orcs of Fhahoz-Blogrum when you attack the Denizens of the Dark Wood in these three exiting adventures.

Sounds very Hobbit-like. The Tales from the Wilderland supplement for OneRing has some Hobbit-like adventures (one could argue that the whole gaming system is based on the Hobbit, though).

D&D adventures? None explicitly I can think of, though almost all carry some of that flavor. Should we design an EN-Wolrd Hobbit-inspired adventure?
