In a sickly perverted sense, I *REALLY* like this idea. We've had the
"Rings" in the games here in the past, with varying degrees of
success/failure. Our favorite was when someone had aquired a powerful ring,
they kept referring to it as "the One Ring". The group had aquired two of
the "Rings of Mortal Men", and basically in our games this allowed the wearer
to become "possessed" by a spirit not all that unlike one of the
"Hunters"
from "the Wild Hunt", complete with summoning a mystic horse-spirit-thing to
go with their new look. We did have one the "Three Rings for Elven Kings"
found, the Ring of Galadriel as I recall. Didn't stick around, it wound up
being given to Brane Diegh of the Tir Court in Nan nOg.
The *ONE* Ring ... hmmm...its' never *actually* made it into the games here.
Probably not likely to either at this point as it just wouldn't fit well into
the games ATM. Maybe some day.
