If I had a Hammer, it'd be a Lore Appropriate One So, I've been ruminating over the LOTRO Crafting System as revealed by Lead System Designer Nik Davidson. I must say that Mr. Davidson is very well-written and humorous, and it was a pleasure to read his Dev Diary; nevertheless, his witty banter, however disarming, did not mask some serious issues about the proposed system.

There is a debate going on in the LOTRO community, as to what each member of the community disliked most about the movies that are in a small way the cause of (...takes a deep breath...) the Lord of the Rings Online: Shadow of Angmar game, that we are all waiting for to coming out. These are the movies that caused many to actually take out and/or buy the books and read them. Read More...
