Old school Tolkien inference, March 1, 2011
This review is from: Brigands of Mirkwood (Middle Earth Role Playing/MERP #8090) (Paperback)
Folks this is 1986. Jackson is still dripping on the tepid milk of his whore mother's fetid teat. For its part, this product, Brigands of Mirkwood, is an exercise in logical inference regards what 1) has no citation in the trilogy, 2) would excel as a gaming core area, and 3) might be located in the Middle Earth. You will find then in Brigands of Mirkwood a nasty, nasty, Tolkien fanatic (but not canonical Tolkien) town for your players to stumble into on their way to Minas Tirith, Dale, or even some other world's wilderlands stronghold such as Fortress Badagaskar. There is nothing but intrigue, violence, death, slavery, rape, depravity, insanity, and rape. You said rape twice, why? I like rape. Yes Heddy - this is the SE corner of Mirkwood. Sure, it's not the towering lair of the dread Necromancer's himself, it's instead a cutthroat border town just a hop skip and a jump from the Dead Marshes and the Black Gates with a terrible sting - the underylying pitch black sorcery is cunningly concealed. So take the product as is or place it in a new home. Players won't forget the vivality aroused when such cold grim wanton evil predates on their better ways and days.
