Hello, I am from Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, 23 yrs.

I think I was here before, but I can't remember...
Anyway, as most students, I had to read something for my English literature list, and my teacher recommended Lotr. I borrowed the book from the library (Fellowship), but upon finishing it, the second part (Towers) was already lended out. So I read the Hobbit in between. Everything became clear after that. Finishing the complete Lotr, I just HAD to read the Sil. And now I am a genuine Tolkien-freak like the rest of you (no offense, but compliments)

My knowledge for the most part comes from playing MERP, the game. I think there is no better way (apart from reading the books) for getting the 'feel' of Middle Earth. Currently, I am combining MERP with Rolemaster and AD&D, making it a complete game in a Middle Earth setting. Where MERP the first edition was much to simplistic, and Rolemaster was much too difficult, I created a good mix between the both. I am now facing the hideous task of translating over 3000 spells in Quenya. All in good time, I will place all my files on the internet, for free and downloadable for all. It will be the best RPG* you've as of yet laid your eyes on!

Anyone who is interested please, feel free to correspond

* By RPG I mean RPG the real stuff, not some lame, fantasy-robbing computergame
