[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 2458883, member: 3477"] Why do I have to think of wolf standing in front of a mirror and combing its hair now ;)? All PHB races except humans and gnomes are specifically Tolkien-style. This is true for elves, dwarves, halflings, half-elves, half-orcs and orcs. Even the spelling "elves" and "dwarves" is specifically Tolkienesque. In proper English, it's 'elfs' and 'dwarfs'. Actually, most adventures have a goal that's much higher than just looking for treasure. It's either some rescue mission (person/the world) or the search for the 'Holy Grail'. And there's treasure hunting in LotR, too. Just look at the stuff from the barrows, or the gifts from the elves. And as I read the LotR, the whole book was about adventuring. The motivation might be a deeply altruistic one, but that's also the case in many D&D games. I'm not convinced by your arguments. [/QUOTE]
