Oh, and in cross-post-o-rama… I don’t disagree with some of the vibe. Especially the covers of the new edition.
But a lot of the material is actually a bit more Earthsea than Tolkien, and the non-canon setting game I played of it was setting in a fantastic version the Straights of Malaca during the Srivijayan empire, and I had to change very damn little to make it work.
