Has anyone attempted a Tolkien-esque campaign? Having gained some practical experience in my multitude of more conventional campaigns, this game seems to offer some potential for an interesting Middle Earth game start environment.
Perhaps a multi-race start, with Elves, Men, and Orcs? It would be interesting to attempt an initial game balance somewhere in the timeline of the Silmarillion I think. Possibly shortly after the Elves land on Middle Earth? Or possibly an earlier era.
Anyone have any interesting suggestions in this regard?
