[QUOTE="DM Howard, post: 6032413, member: 87131"] I don't really see much coming of the Hobbit movie in regards to an influx of new gamers. The games we play are such that you are either going to be interested or you're not. No movie is going to make you take the plunge if they didn't look interesting in the first place. And although I respect what others have said I'm a combination of "I wouldn't want to mess with the canon/not much worth doing". Sure you can clean up Moria, perhaps find a way to restore the three elven rings and create a second valinor in middle earth, but in the end I guess Tolkien touches me too deeply to want to do it and it all seems dwarfed by the acts of Frodo and Samwise. The best way I can think of it is like painting over the Mona Lisa or adding on to the Bayeux Tapestry. It doesn't really add or improve the original, to my mind, so why do it? [/QUOTE]
