There seems something uniquely suitable about the combination of Dungeons & Dragons and The Lord of the Rings. Whether it's the well-documented inspiration Gygax et al took from Tolkien's works or merely their shared fantasy genre, this is a match made in heaven.

But for players, the most obvious place to use LotR inspiration is character creation.
