[PnP] Sans Perilous Lands: PnP in the Trollkinian lands

[Wout Broere]

Strange coincidence... I just downloaded a copy of the Last Ringbearer a 
few hours before your post. Didn't find the time to read it yet, though.


And one of our longest running campaigns was set in the Forgotten 
Realms, centered around the Dales. The characters were thrown together 
in a quest, but all had a different allegiance and most had double or 
triple cover stories. The slightly fuzzy alignments of P&P wre far 
better suited to this type of story than the set in stone alignments of 
AD&D.

I used PnP for DnD settings myself as only hand the Powers&  Perils box set as a kid and thou I hated the DnD rule system for a Roleplaying(thou AD&D2ed is still my favorit Fantasy wargaming rule system :P ) I do like most of their campaign setting.

That's the philosophy behind "The Last Ringbearer," a novel set during and after the end of the War of the Ring (the climactic battle at the end of "The Lord of the Rings") and told from the point of view of the losers. The novel was written by Kirill Yeskov, a Russian paleontologist, and published to acclaim in his homeland in 1999. Translations of the book have also appeared in other European nations, but fear of the vigilant and litigious Tolkien estate has heretofore prevented its publication in English.
