Exactly. You could have the game taking place in the Land of Coridial, 10,000 years ago, and lose nothing as far as gameplay.

However, as R.R.J. made clear, sticking a Tolkien connection on it gives it a huge jump on moneymaking potential. At least I can stop them getting my silver pennies for it.
