By the way, Kabong, I always respect your intelligent posts in other threads but do you have to crap on every LOTR thread? We know you don't like it. We got it already. I mean, God love ya, you are funny and smart but please give LOTR a break and just ignore it for a while. It's been two years already.

Leave El-K alone, please. He amuses me by evoking associations of the status of Star Wars fandom in general in the year 2003:

Actually (to quarrel with you on your own terms), friends of mine who enjoy live-action role-playing have been running a LOTR game for awhile.

In related news, my friends make me sad.

2. There are no dragons in The Lord of the Rings. There were dragons in the book, The Hobbit yet none in the movies. Dungeons & Dragons, as always, never fails to disappoint and is filled with dragons.

What the hell are the Nazgul flying around on in TTT and ROTK then?

Nazgul aren't dragons.
From what I here, ROTK will have dragons in it but it's not out yet so it doesn't count.

Not the Nazgul, but what the nazgul are riding on the big flying things that looks a hell of a lot like dragons to me).

I always though wyrm/dragon was synonomous, but then again I'm not a fantasy geek. :D

They are flying on "Fell Beasts" ('fell' is Tolkien's archaic word for 'evil'). They are corrupted carrion birds in Tolkien but he acknowledged a resemblance to pterodactyls. Morgoth or Sauron could not make new beasts but could only corrupt existing life. Either that or they would have to invest part of their own being into them which would make them more or less independent but it made their maker weaker.
