As far as I remember, re-enactors are those who recreate real historical events, role-players are those who play field or "indoor" RPGs, and Tolkien fans are a very diverse group. Some simply study Tolkien in detail, some run RPGs based on his works, and some have gone completely overboard. For example, in the early 90s, at some gathering near a university, an elderly professor came out and asked them to be quiet. In response, one of them said: "How dare you, mortal, speak to an Elven prince like that?" They were naturally kicked out. They also considered Vysotsky to be the embodiment of Boromir. So, any hobby is good as long as you don't live in it.
