If you remove the description of the trees the Lord of the Rings becomes a short story.Hottest take- Tolkien blows, and seeing someone start talking about the importance of the Tolkien canon fills me with the same dread as when I hear someone say that I really don’t get why Rush is the bestest band evar.
Is that what I really am?This is how you remind me that Nickelback is what would happen if Rush wrote music that rocked.

…just being completely on-brand?
C’mon. What has PROFESSOR TOL-KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN ever done for fantasy literature, anyway?
It's not like you to keep this joke goingIs that what I really am?
I love Matt Colville's Running the Game series, but his opinions on Lord of the Rings are rough to get through.I feel like this was a Matt Colville diss.

"Last of all Snarf stood alone. Then he cast aside his phone, and wielded a keyboard two-handed; and it is sung that the keys smoked in the black blood of the troll-posters of ENWorld until they withered, and each time that he slew Snarf cried: "Not misused legal terms! Not bards!" Seventy times he uttered that cry; but they took him at last alive, by the command of Morgoth, for they grappled him with their hands, which clung to him still though he hewed off their arms; and ever their numbers were renewed, until at last he fell buried beneath them and they forced him to eat pineapple pizza. And thus fell the mightiest thread-crafter of mortal men."
Whenever a thread comes up about player expectations, I always get the popcorn ready. You know some folks will march in declaring pre-Hickman Nintendo hard play to be the one true way of D&D. Then, in the next thread same folks are lamenting the fact that players dont play the game right anymore and they cant find anybody for their fantasy Saw RPG campaign.
Nintendo? You really take it WAY too easy on the players, Payn.

Same universe, different galaxy.So are Indiana Jones and Star Wars canonically in the same universe?
Do we ever find out if Indy actually lives on our earth? Could there be a mirror earth in another galaxy? Do we ever see him looking at the galaxy or saying his planet is "Earth" or is in the "Milky Way"?Same universe, different galaxy.
