Can I interrupt all the PRS discussions etc (all of which, sorry to say, I find a bit boring!!) and ask my fellow Middle Earthers - would it be feasible to design a game based on the Silmarillion? The biggest problem I could perceive would be the map, but surely that problem has been addressed with the new 5 Armies scenario?
In any event that clash of titanic powers of good & evil would make a setting for one hell of a game!
Thanks,
Matthew

That would be cool, and should be doable using the FA1000 rules, with a bit of
tweaking. (At least, I would think so.)

We're not allowed to do it. We can do a FA game with similarities but
that's the best we can do. Names are not a problem as Richard pointed out
Tolkien re-uses names a lot.

Are you saying its specifically ruled out by the copyright/licence
agreement? I take it that must be the case seeing as there is now the Last
Alliance scenario as well.

Yes it is specifically written out. We can run something that is similar in
a FA scenario though.
