• RPGnet stands with Black Americans in the fight for rights, safety, and justice. #BlackLivesMatter
  • Over the last two years, violence and hate against the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community has continued to increase. RPGnet stands in solidarity with that community. We all have an obligation to stand up against racism and bigotry in all its forms.
  • With abortion and birth control rights threatened both around the world and particularly in the United States, RPGnet believes that reproductive rights are human rights. We're committed to that, and will sanction posts supporting anti-human-rights positions.
  • RPGnet has taken new password security measures.

    If you're being prompted for 2 Factor Authentication, but didn't turn it on directly, it's probably because your password is common or otherwise easily guessed. RPGnet now securely checks for such passwords.

    More information is available here.

  • RPGnet now has a special [📖Let's Read] prefix for individual and communal close reading projects! This makes those threads more visible and, over time, easier to find when you click the prefix.

    Happy reading!

This bit in the book actually annoyed me at first.

Up until now every single time Tolkien used the term 'man' he was referring the human race as a whole, but now suddenly it referred to sex?

I got over it quickly, because it was nice to see a woman actually do something for once.

She "Cannot be killed by the hand of man. Do you mean..."
Old Geezer "Yes. He'll have to use his feet."

:p

IIRC, it's is more like....

Daughter (who is starting to think she's the one who's going to kill it, as obviously she's no man...) Oh father, do you mean ... ?
Old Geezer : Yes, my child ... he's gonna hafta use his feet!

Cue picture of Thrud executing dropkick ...

I sure wish I could find that in English :(

It's intended in both senses, actually - the prophecy is a double-whammy. The hobbit who stabs him in the knee isn't a Man (as in the race), and the human who stabs him in the face isn't a man (as in the gender).

I Love you. I really really Love you.

Please accept my first born child.

And that big by Elrond at the end is just pure genius!
