Description: Alright, let's talk about MERP. This game, man. It's like someone looked at Tolkien's work and said, "You know what this needs? More tables!" And you know what? They weren't entirely wrong. MERP is a fascinating artifact of early 80s RPG design, sitting at this weird intersection of Tolkien's rich lore and the crunchy, simulationist approach that was all the rage back then.Now, one thing that really stands out about MERP is how it tries to capture the feel of Middle-earth. It's not just slapping pointy ears on standard D&D classes and calling it a day. No, it dives deep into the cultures, the languages, the whole vibe of Tolkien's world. You've got these intricate background tables that help you flesh out your character's history, their family, their motivations. It's like the game is saying, "Hey, you're not just some murder-hobo with a sword. You're part of this vast, ancient world with its own laws and customs."But here's the thing - and this is where it gets really interesting - MERP isn't afraid to fill in the gaps that Tolkien left. It expands on areas of Middle-earth that Tolkien only hinted at, giving us detailed maps and descriptions of places like Rhûn or Harad. Is it 100% true to Tolkien's vision? Probably not. But it shows this bold, almost audacious approach to world-building that you don't often see in licensed properties. It's like they took Tolkien's framework and said, "Okay, let's see how far we can push this." And for better or worse, that's exactly what they did. Embark on a journey through the world of J.R.R.
