Similar question, yes. Like many a gamer before me, from back when it was presented as the preferred option, I've built up my own fantasy world based on the concepts of D&D. Since D&D was itself built upon the bones of Middle-Earth (as well as the Dying Earth), does that make Aathe a Tolkien-knockoff knockoff?
