So, IOTL Tolkien lived to be 73 but what if he lived to be. . . I dunno, ninety-something? Over a hundred?
What happens?
What happens?
Tolkien lives longer

- Start date
I can forseen innombrable rants about how Dungeon & Dragons background is retarded.
Seriously, i can't belive he'll finish the Silmarillon : he stopped to try writing something in order to publish it at the 50's. Christopher Tolkien noted that his father was too busy to work on linguistic and mythological works for that.
However, it's not impossible that he publish parts of Silmarillon, like the part with Turin Turumbar, or the fall of Godolin who were pretty well achieved in the 30-50's, or the Ainulindale by exemple.
But nothing "new" published anyway.

Tolkien finishing something like that?
That needs to go to the ASB forum.
I love Middle-earth, but Tolkien was obsessively perfectionist, and it shows.
We might get more stuff addressed like say Celeborn or Amroth, though.

He lived UNTIL '73. He lived TO BE 81…
Reading Wikipedia wrong, are you?
Read the back of his bio wrong.
You know, Gygax claimed he hated Tolkien's works and so then, there was that large lists of influencal works in the AD&D DM book...

*shrugs* yeah. He may have hated Tolkien, he had no calm taking good or popular ideas off it.
All to sell the game and all.First thing I see is possible a revamped Quenya pronoun table; he seemed to changed it fairly often. Next, more definitive information on Sindarin. Maybe he'll work on his "Gothic" language, too.
AND a completed Lay of Leithien. Things were just getting good where he left it unfinished in OTL.

Maybe, but Dave Arneson did most of the original writing. People keep forgetting that.You know, Gygax claimed he hated Tolkien's works and so then, there was that large lists of influencal works in the AD&D DM book...
