This week we talk to the wanderer of Middle Earth, Aaron, the host of the Lore of the Rings podcast to talk about Tolkien's influence on modern fantasy, sci-fi, board games, and everything in between. We go deep into what makes the heroes journey, how Gary Gygax got a cease and desist for using the term Hobbit in early versions of Dungeons and Dragons, and the relationship between the themes of escapism and recovery.
