TORNado Iarwain sends in this:“I would just like to inform you that Decipher held a playtesting at Origins. It was very interesting to play the game. I can’t endulge you with too much info, but I can say that not many (if any) left with bad comments. I thought that it was really fun to play. Just letting you know. For more look on the LOTR message board at Decipher.” [More]

Moviegoers won’t be able to see the big-screen version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” until Dec. 19, but unlike all the new “Star Wars” episodes, they can easily find out how the story of good vs. evil turns out in advance. Already, sales of Tolkien books are four times what they were in 1999 -with paperbacks and leatherbound volumes of “The Lord of the Rings” moving quickly off shelves at Barnes & Noble and previously untapped venues like Wal-Mart.
