"Dungeon Master of the Rings"
Images from Fellowship with words by Shamus Young
Lord of the Rings is more or less the foundation of modern Dungeons and Dragons. The latter rose from the former, although the two are now so estranged that to reunite them would be an act of savage madness. Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign.
Work in progress, at least 10 parts; I'm not a gamer, but this is pretty funny
