There was a lot of magical craziness in MERP. Anything and everything was a magical item of some kind. While I have a soft spot for it and have used it as a resource, there is so much that needs to be stripped out of it. In many ways, it was "D&D in Middle-earth".
Of course, with the popularity of GURPS: Dungeon Fantasy, I might consider an appendix that is, "Dungeon Fantasy in Middle-earth, or Converting MERPS to GURPS". Or it might cause me to choke and die while writing it.
