Back to the Third Age

Never let it be said that Science Patrol doesn't appreciate the traditions that have come before. The lore that was passed down in the shadows of time, over a decade ago. Before we three reached manhood, we were stewards in an entirely different order, which measured heroes by the length of the hair on their feet. Yes, friends, I am speaking of...The Lord of the Rings.

We just like that shit. We are also suckers for Dungeons and Dragons, and just imagining the combination of the two actually inspired me to buy the Middle Earth Role-Playing system (MERPs). Anyway, since we like mash-ups best of all, I give you The Twenty-Sided Tale, or what Lord of the Rings would be like, if it were a role-playing campaign played by a group of dorks. (Via the excellent Blue Tea, who also recommended three other RPG-tinged humorous quest dealies that I will be reading later: Erfworld, 8-Bit Theatre, and Order of the Stick.)
