Tolkien's work has inspired generations and generations of writers, but also generations and generations of game authors who have been inspired by the characters and stories of Middle-earth, drawing heavily into the imagination to produce their games.

Among these obviously Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi who, together with Roberto di Meglio of Ares Games, told us the playful editorial story of the Lord of the Rings.
