I kind of want to join this, but all I know about the Tolkien setting is what the LotR and Hobbit films have shown, plus some miscellaneous setting info - there's elves, dwarves, wizards who are actually lesser angels, orcs, uruk hai, and a whole bunch of races of men, including hobbits and some weird superhuman sub-race that Aragorn is actually part of. And, uh, I don't know how I'd even begin to figure out everything I'd need to figure out to start participating in this beyond reading through like the entire Silmarillion, so...
