Using the find player feature (it's not like i've been busy or anything), you can find any number of players called Gandalf, Legolas, Aragorn, Frodo, Bilbo even Merry and Pippin but not one player called Gimli 😕
So - why no dwarves? (or small people - I'm not sure they had PC in Tolkiens day 🙂)
Originally posted by kingofthe303No, you're right. LOtR was certainly not written on a PC.

Can't understand it - I thought Gimli had the msot sex appeal in his bluff manly way. Not like those high strung little elf gits with their long blond hair.
Nor can I understand why I appear to be the only character from the other great mid twentieth century's imaginative trilogy - Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast. Why no Swelter, Flay, Rottcodd, Prunesquallor or Nanny Slagg? Surely a Fuchsia,a Titus Groan or a Lord Sepulchrve? IMHO a far greater book.
Perhaps if Peter Jackson made another film?
Originally posted by steerpikeDid you see the TV adaptation (BBC in Britain) a few years ago with such big name starts as Christopher Lee (a personal favourite) as Flay, Richard Griffiths as Swelter and Ian Richardson as Groan? It looked lovely and was pretty good, but truncated all the books into something like 3 hours (maybe 6). Anyhow, I have the book, but haven't read it yet, which I intend to do very soon.
