– The Game –
Several Ages ago on Middle-teen-earth a person known as a hoddit embarked on a dangerous and hazardous quest. Frobo Baddins, abused charity case and alleged village idiot with a simple view of the world is about to save it, or die trying…again…and again…and again. Let’s face it that is the way it goes in these classic adventure stories. Fortunately for the little guy, the fates gave him an undo button (sort of like that movie with the aliens and/or groundhog).
