Nar: And yes! The Ride of the Rohirrim onto the Pelennor Fields is - grasping for words here without stealing Tolkien's - strong and bold, full of bright color and mythic power; I know exactly what you mean (this time, after a second reading on "that other thread" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) how it's like seeing a vision rather than being in the middle of it.
I tell ya, these threads are beginning to make me give thought to starting an RPG that actually captures that vanishing spirit of the English (call it primordial if you like) countryside. If that's even possible for us dullwitted-and-unlettered-in-Oxfordshireness-Americans) Come to think of it, Bethberry invited us to just such a treat, I'm thinking, and I, fool of a Tookish fellow that I am, failed to take her up on it. My loss.
