Still, in terms of RPGs, we have the possibility of writings by Sam and Elanor, which were lost, particularly about the Westmarch lands of The Shire, if I am not mistaken.

What a conundrum this makes for canonicity (as if we don't have enough already!). We could sub-create RPGs for events which were lost to the record of Middle-earth.

Plus, would this open us to the possibility that we could have two variants, Bilbo's versions and Frodo's, which, as written by different participants in events, could present slightly different points of view?

What fun medieval narratology/textuality makes!
