J. Random Gamer Interview

I'd like to get more interviews into The Hall of Fire. Besides the movers and shakers of the game's production and support, I want to, and I think others as well, hear from the average gamer about who he is, what games he likes, his experiences with LOTR RPG, etc. I want to have as big a diversity as possible: male/female, people from all continents, all kinds of backgrounds.

If you are interested, please let me know and I'll send you a questionnaire for you to fill out and we can go from there. I prefer to do this through email instead of here because it'll be easier and less confusing for me to do follow-up questions that way.

If I get enough interest, the first interview should be seen in Issue #30.
