But I came to Tolkien late in the game and I don't really consider his work a major influence on my D&D. My misrecollection of the cartoon adaptations probably more informed my early D&D play.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-44022560260390699432009-05-08T17:13:00.000-05:002009-05-08T17:13:00.000-05:00Poor wretch that I am, I didn't see Krull until th...<EM>Poor wretch that I am, I didn't see Krull until this decade.</EM><BR>Then be thankful you were saved the embarrassing realization in retrospect that in your youth you had waaaaay too many swords that fired lasers out of the pommels in your games, or that you really needed a better grounding in medieval history to know what a "glaive" is.<br /><br />Not that I'd know what that's like.
