I haven't seen a LOTR mod anywhere, but then again I never look at mods. There might be one. How did you like the movie? I thought it was a bit over the top for some parts.
loved the film, the dwarves looked badass in full armour, they looked like mobile blocks of metal, they are how I envisonage the dwarves in DF
I point your attention to The Legacy, written by R.A. Salvatore, part of his epic saga of Drizzt Do'Urden (The dark elf) in the Forgotten Realms.
In the Legacy - following Streams of Silver, whereas Bruenor Battlehammer's home, a dwarven fortress, is reclaimed - the book consists mostly of epic battles between goblinkin and dark elves attacking the fort from underneath and above. It's one of my favourite books to reminisce of. I can still remember that moment in the cave, stalagmites, stalagtits and gloom described as the dwarves are ambushed on all sides. So much goodness. I might re-read it.
Afterthought: The latest two trilogies of the series are forced, none of the magic remains, he ends every chapter with "And that was the last of character X"... three chapters left, followed and opened by "OR SO THEY THOUGHT!". Every fucking chapter, ...mumblegrumble...
The Legacy continues the plot-line of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, with Wulfgar and Catti-brie preparing for their marriage and Drizzt returning from the first of many visits to Lady Alustriel of Silverymoon. Drizzt returns to a disturbed Catti-brie and eccentric Regis, who has returned to Mithral Hall after a stint as master of Pasha Pook’s thieves' guild. While Bruenor plans the wedding, Wulfgar's tribe settles the appropriately named Settlestone and begins to prosper. Wulfgar, on the other hand, is straining his relationship with Catti-brie, who feels his possessiveness is excessive and unwise. When Wulfgar unexpectedly attacks Drizzt and appears to have lethal motives, the tension builds, despite the drow’s diffusion of the situation.
Newly introduced is the dwarf battlerager, Thibbledorf Pwent. The dwarf, knocked unconscious during the invasion of Mithral Hall, pledges fealty to Bruenor. Among his personality quirks are a disgusting smell, and ungreased, ridged armor, which also serves as Pwent’s primary weapon. Meanwhile, in Menzoberranzan, Drizzt's sister Vierna (Taken in by Matron Baenre after the fall of House Do’Urden) is preparing to recapture her brother. Vierna believes that this quest, if successful, will gain her the full favor of Lloth, the chief drow goddess. Vierna enlists the help of Bregan D'aerthe, the most prominent mercenary band in Menzoberranzan. Jarlaxle, Bregan D'aerthe’s leader, briefly doubts Vierna’s sanity and designs, but is convinced when Vierna turns her brother Dinin into a drider.
The story returns to Mithral Hall, with Bruenor preparing a detachment to investigate a goblin disturbance in Mithral Hall’s unexplored lower tunnels. After the goblins are routed, tension builds between Wulfgar and Catti-brie. Wulfgar had wanted his fiancée to stay out of the fight, for reasons that didn’t satisfy the woman. A patrol goes missing soon afterward, and Drizzt prepares to investigate. Oddly, Bruenor suggests that Regis accompany the drow. Drizzt, with a few second thoughts, allows the halfling to join him. The pair discover the patrol, slaughtered; Drizzt identifies the murderers as dark elves and leads a pursuit. After the battle with the drow, Drizzt questions Regis on his new-found combat abilities, and discovers that the halfling is actually Artemis Entreri, wearing a familiar magical mask. Drizzt had previously used the item to pass as a surface elf, and had not realized its capabilities. Entreri then turns Drizzt over to the dark elves, who escape to the Underdark.
