[Rq-rules] Re: MERP

[David Smart]

I did for a couple months using a set of rules created by Chris Seeman.

A nice writeup of the challenges of "TolkienQuest" campaign is at:
http://www.dennis-sellers.com/play/articles/MERP.html

The conversion rules were available on the Web at some point and might
possibly be found in this list's archives. I know I've posted the link a
couple of times in the past. Problem is I can't find it now.

Using a Silmaril for a POW crystal generates the same problem as making a
friendly dragon into a familiar. First you have to find one.
