..even here in Germany I managed to grab one...
and as an Roleplayer with 15 years of steady practice and the tendency , to find flaws in every system ... IT IS GREAT !
Very keen on the right athmospheric setting and the Spirit of Tolkien ( the chapter on magic in Middle Earth is the best researched essay on this topic ive ever read ) , really simple but realistic system ( simple , not primitive ) .
Elves as PCs are much more powerful than men , like iTolkien described them . Game-balancing is not so primary for a RPG in Middle earth , and good Roleplayers should also have no problem with that .
The only thing I changed in the Rules : I decreased the Hitpoints , so now a skilled warrior can chop down an Orc with one or two hits . The risk for PCs is then also higher , but a good GM can always fudge a little bit in their favour.
I heartily can also recommend this RPG .

Gwyr a aeth Gatraeth gan wawr
Trafodynt eu hedd eu hofnawr
Milcant a thrychant a ymdaflawdd .
Gwyarllyd gwynoddyd waywawr ,
Ef gorsaf wriaf yng ngwriawr ,
Rhag gosgordd Mynyddog Mwynfawr .

Men went to catraeth with the dawn
Their fears disturbed their peace ,
A hundred thousand fought three hundred
Bloodily they stained spears ,
His was the bravest station in battle
Before the retinue of Mynnyddog Mwynfawr .

Aneirin , Y Gododdin
