Hi Tom and all. as a huge lotr fan my self I would very much welcome a audio
game of lotr. I can even pervide the bbc radio play if needed for sounds
etc. I also really loved the lotr movies but not the hobbit movie so much. I
to say go for it. as for what Dark said it is true. Tolkien's son isn't
giving peater Jackson any rights to film any more of Tolkien's works so no
silmorillion or anything like that. I personally couldn't get through that
book anyways even though I did give it a really good try but found it very
boring and dull. from Mich.

Hi tom.
Just as a correction, the copywrite for lotr was actually renewed In I
believe 2001, and is now owned by tolkien's grand daughter. This is also
why Christopher tolkien comparatively recently released a new translation
of Children of Hurin which he'd peaced together from tolkien's notes, so
even the books are not quite copywrite.
that being said, as with starwars I'm generally of the opinion that why
not! it's not as if warner brothers make lots of accessible lotr games
anyway so your hardly taking money from them, and as we said when
discussing makingg starwars or startrek games, it'd likely be better to
brave the beasty than just not have at all.
After all, Phil managed in case of Sarah and the result is fantastic.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
