I've also got the middle earth metal figures, the middle
earth calander,
have the tolkien sounds on my computer, and have a pewter
middle earth cup.
Cool - now we could offer a Nazgul or Hobbit as a prize for
each game and
see what extra efforts would make...
is twitch up for sale yet ? He might make a nice prize - maybe for last
place ??? 
My parents kept cats. One died in the sun when asleep (we were actually
watching it when it fell off the fence). Another cat got seriously ill, and
disappeared. Mom and dad feel that cats want to live (just like us), so they
were only planning to have the vet kill it when the pain got noticable. We
think a brother jumped the gun, and took it to the vet sooner than later.
"Offically" it went into the drains and died.
Mom and dad now have dogs. One already dead (boxers get brain tumours just
like humans in case you didn't already know), but two are still around (just
noisy). Dogs also need a HUGE hole in the ground when you bury them. At
least cats are easy to bury.
I added the above to remind people I do more than Middle Earth stuff. 
A game called Hyborian Wars, by Reality Simulation Inc, has a
bright yellow t-shirt
proclaiming the winner as a HW game winner. None of them will
actually wear one
outdoors except for gardening
gardening ? as in outdoor activity when the sun is out ???. Never done it
myself, I seek balance in my life, and let nature handle everything
(including the weeding).
perhaps but those of us who
doesn't have one yet still
covets it b4 RSI runs out of them (I don't think it be
reprinted,:)). Now most lokk
forward to another prize, the HWEnthusiasts have decided to
print their own t-shirt
for the HWE group and another for the organised games that HWE
organised themselves.Prizes would be cool.
But I think the victory conditions need to be changed. While the better side
often wins, the person who did most to ensure victory rarely comes first.
thanks
