Why play a sallow imitation of LOTR when you can just use Middle Earth itself? Everything you ever need for roleplaying in Tolkien's world has already been written by ICE.

It is a simple matter to convert these to GURPS.
Any attempt to copy Tolkien's world by an unlicensed game company would be met with legal action (at worst) or criticised for being the blatant imitation that it is (at best).
