Your'e kidding, right? ;-)

Elves, trolls, etc. ... these weren't just things created by Gary Gygax for
AD&D.
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy has had an influence in nearly every
modern fantasy novel and game.

If you really haven't read The Hobbit, and the Trilogy, you owe it to
yourself to do so.

After all, then you'll understand why no one wants to see Imoortal Elves in
SR! ;-)
