literary editions

There were at least two literary editions: originally with Arda (James RR Tolkien's world) material (mentioned in this article second) and then renames (mentioned first). I think the original material should be mentioned first, probably with note of the copyright issue--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 11:16, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We're going to need to see a source for that. BOZ (talk) 13:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People already cited those describing brown (first), white (second) box ediitons. Brown box has balrogs, ents, hobbits, nazgul, etc. (Arda material), and the white box renamed them balors, treants, halflings, maybe something such as wraiths, which cited sources describe the first having Arda material and the second (and later printings) changing these words to generic (so is a second literary edition, despite same ruleset edition)--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 02:27, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
