Sounds really good, Jay. I'm a Tolkein fan as well, I was also thinking of adding the LotR characters as "easter eggs" to my DB but decided not to in the end! 
I'm working on a 3D RPG set in Middle Earth (written in C++ using my own very poor software 3D engine!) however I've done very little work on it lately due to the EQEmu DB.  
It will be a non-linear single-player RPG (like Daggerfall), multiplayer would be nice (as well as SP, not instead of) but my netcode programming skills are nonexistent.
