[Tolkien] Playing in the Second Age

Setting the campaign in faraway placed like Rhûn or Harad removes a lot of the LOTR feel, I think. And even more so if setting the campaign on another continent because even if that isn't actually made up, but is grounded in facts established by Tolkien on some half-destroyed napkin scrounged up by his son, it'll feel fictitious to the players. Much of the point of the campaign being Middle-earth will be lost, then.
