*nods* The dwarves definitely have a more modern, DnD look to them. I can't get the Klingon image out of my head now though XP

I also expect that there will be changes to the story. I didn't notice them with LOTR because I had only read the books once and I did not remember much. I just hope that the changes won't be too severe. The story is already perfect as is, so I can imagine what would need to be cut out or changed. Whereas with the LOTR books, I was glad with some of the cuts/changes they did make. It took forever for Frodo to actually get to going...
