For Lord of the Rings picking up best RPG from InQuest.

It may not have been the best game Steve published last year in *my* opinion, but hey...:-)

I bet the RPG was better than the movies, eh Steve? ;)

Congrats Steve, you deserve the kudos.

Thanx, guys! Glad to hear the game's so popular with the InQuest readership. ;)

I bet the RPG was better than the movies, eh Steve?

Seeing as how it was based entirely on the books (at least as I wrote it), yes. ;)

Congrats indeed.

I haven't actually seen the game myself -- OK, so I've seen it, I just haven't seen it in any great detail :) -- owing to a recent precipitous drop in available cash, but the reviews I've read seem to have been generally pretty positive.

So.... I don't suppose there are any plans for "HERO of the Ring"? Or "Middle Earth HERO"? Didn't think so :)

And Steve, if anyone asks you can say you wrote THE book on "Middle Earth"...er game. :)

I'm pretty sure you're joking but yes, there are movies: one for each of the the books. The last movie will be out this December, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm looking forward to it -- but I can't shake my trepidation either. From the very beginning, my Paranoia Sense has kept insisting Mr. Jackson is going to ruin my favorite moment of the entire trilogy == by replacing Eowyn with Arwen in the "no mortal man am I" scene.

It's no FRED but I picked up the LotR game off of ebay and was quite impressed, I was originally turned off of buying it because of the movie tie ins for illustrations but it did a nice job of sticking to the books and pointing out the changes in the movie, I have since picked up a few other LotR products and they do the same providing stats and descriptions for both the movie and book where appropriate. I think they will be fine source books for RingHero.

Good work Steve.


For those of you griping about the new movies, don't make me pull out my VHS animated versions. :mad:
