Discussion: The Hobbit – Book vs Movies

To kick off 2015 I decided to do something a bit different: a roundtable discussion!

There’s much to be said for Peter Jackson’s Hobbit movies, but how do major Tolkien fans feel about it? I was curious to find out, so I grabbed four people steeped in Hobbit lore and held a discussion full of delicious nerd rage. We talked about the changes made for the movies, the nature of Hollywood, and the difference between dragons and wyverns, among many other topics.

This episode’s panelists were:

Richard Rohlin with Grapple Gun Publishing

Denise Lhamon of the Accessories Not Included blog

Kimi of The Golden Lasso and Happy Jack’s RPG Podcast

Jon of Crucible of Realms
