[Chancellen the True]

I played in a 1st ed. ME campaign over 20 years ago. It was one of the best campaigns I've ever been apart of. Being that I loved the books so much helped my enjoyment. It was a self made adoptation by a very bright guy named Dave. I eventualy started putting together one of my own. I really wanted it to be like the books, lots of detail, so I took my time. I'm an artist, so I made large, very detailed maps. I even used old, wet coffee grinds to age the paper (man I love D+D). Everyone loved it. We played it for years. It's 2nd ed. and one day I'll convert it to 3rd ed. The point is (finally), that you can make your own; but, it will take a lot of imagination and a lot of work.

There was a ME system in the 80's. It was done by I. C. E. (Iron Crown Enterprises). I never played it, but the system is very different than AD+D. I own a couple of the books, because being a Tolkien fanatic, I had to check it out. I'll just say that the material is interesting......to say the least. It is all out of print and can be bought on line at stores that specialize in out of print RPG material. They were hard to find before the movies; so, you'll have to check back daily and buy quickly. I've never tried it, but I'm sure you could find it on E-bay. Either way, it could get expensive, so be carefull. Good luck!
