But when they roasted it, it proved horrible to taste, and they shot no more squirrels." (The Hobbit, Chapter 8).<br /><br />Not that it matters, but I kept thinking of this passage last session.Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-57666977266981490572018-01-16T21:29:36.139-05:002018-01-16T21:29:36.139-05:00Yeah, those squirrels were real nut-busters.Yeah, those squirrels were real nut-busters.Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-57835300991076618602018-01-16T19:39:33.774-05:002018-01-16T19:39:33.774-05:00I have to admit when Rob first approached me about...I have to admit when Rob first approached me about the game I wasn't too fond of the idea, but he got the new books and I'm willing to give nearly anything in gaming a shot. I have been pleasantly surprised by how much I've been enjoying it. I'm not a good one to gauge 'a good Middle Earth game', but it is a good game overall.Gothridge Manorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371740532802642972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-47600168024619428052018-01-16T19:36:41.681-05:002018-01-16T19:36:41.681-05:00Thanks Lloyd I'll check it out.
