Does anyone want to play a conversion of an old MERP module to PF?
Here are some rules that I think would work pretty well for such a campaign: The Middle Earth d20 Campaign. I'd say start at 8th level (your first level in these rules is an NPC class).
I'd be interested at first glance, I'll have a read through the links.
I like the "Tolkienverse" and feel it likely could be fun. I think it can fit with Pathfinder if you review the races, and maybe restrict the classes to core only as to keep it closer to traditional fantasy.

Take a look at the rules I linked -- it makes a lot of adjustments along those lines.
Just in case thread readers are skipping this over, This is the rules document on the website I linked that contains modifications to the PF1e rule set to create a LOTR-like mechanics system. There's another, earlier d20 one that's 200+ pages long I might take some ideas from, but this is specific to PF and I think relatively easy to digest. It limits the races and class selection, changes the races, and highlights some optional rules like wounds and vitality that make the game seem like a Tolkien novel in terms of power level and character type.
