Know what my FAVORITE part of "Lord of the Rings" was?

It was that bit where the Gaffer sits down with Frodo for his mid-year performance review. Riveting!

Jobs? As a game? No thanks. I do that IRL. I just don't think a glorified price list -- no matter how well though out -- has any place in a fantasy RPG: it's role-playing, people!

We need tools to create mythic adventures, not business plans.

(Unless of course we're talking about my "Fantasy Middle-Manager" league: now there's a wicked fun work-themed game!)

Just my $.02.

Cheers!
