Well then, my yet unannounced crimes in the world of RPGing include at least:

- Dwarf women without beards (although this of course can be disputed, but it looks like the beards would be slightly more canonical)
- D&D style magic in Middle-Earth (in a rather limited scale, but still!) & fairytale style magic too
- Elves' special sleep habits ignored
- Rohirrim with rather literal culture
- and some stuff I unfortunately cannot write here because one of the players might be reading this


Crimes when it comes to reading Tolkien's works:

- I get mixed up with Tolkien's geography and place names
- sometimes (seldom though) I hope Tolkien had written some things differently
- despite everything I'm still unhappy with Tolkien's female characters
- sometimes I come up with complicated theories about the characters' psychological motives and I'm sure the Professor himself would not approve of all of them (eg. Beleg being gay and being in love with Túrin)
- I'm surprised whenever Tolkien's thoughts seem liberal
