I'm sad to say I have done that before, but a few minutes later I changed my mind and used Harry Potter instead.

Well, have any of you read either Revenge of the Entish Bow or Reunification of the Entish Bow, two RPGs here from Gondor? What those gamers do! Honestly. I mean, I don't think they tried to insult Tolkien. They did insult Tolkien! In high dudgeon! Or low humour! With allegorical references to all kinds of creation, sub, primary and non-numerical-nonconsolational. These RPGs have this inner inconsistency of surreality. And such longing there is! You won't find posts longer anywhere else on the Barrow Downs (unless it is a davem/Bethberry posting duel in Books). You couldn't say there's applicability but they sure do have lots of, um, piercings, some not so fleeting. They just can't get rid of all these infernal references and self-references and various other preferences, to say nothing of pecadillos and armadillos.

If anyone can find a thread of Tolkien respect in the REBs, why, it would be a eucatastrophe! The quality of their joy is hardly restrained.

Boots Random Titles come to a turning point....

I must admit that I have made some unintentional mistakes in the past. Most though, haven't been in role-playing. In fact most of my blunders have either been in this forum, or in Newcomers. I'm thankful that most of them have been on deleted threads.

I wonder though if Tolkien (being a professor) were alive to day, would he be insulted by all the gramatical mistakes some fans (like me) make frequently?
